Descrizione

SUMMARY: This paper deals with a passage from the long and well-constructed poem of Nemesianus, Cynegetica, vv. 67-68, about which several scholars have raised doubts, because the same verb, bibunt, is repeated in two successive lines. However, all the proposed emendations are in many respects unsatisfactory. In accordance with Horace, carm. 4, 14, 45-46, and Lucan 10, 189-191, we suggest emending bibunt v. 68 with ignotum and reading the whole of the passage in this way: gentes / quae Rhenum Tigrimque bibunt Ararisque remotum / principium Nilique in origine fontem.
