[255] Serv. quotes Enn. (A. fr. inc. 3), “Iuppiter hic risit, tempestatesque serenae Riserunt omnes risu Iovis omnipotentis.” Heyne refers to Gud. Inscrip. p. 5, n. 3, for an inscription “Iovi Opt. Max. Serenatori;” and Henry says there is a representation (supposed to be unique) of Iuppiter Serenus, with the inscription “Iovi Sereno Sacr.,” on an ancient lamp in the Passerian Museum. ‘Tempestates’ means the weather rather than the storms, so that there is no occasion to suppose a zeugma, with Wagn.
