[428] Ribbeck follows fragm. Vat. in reading ‘petunt’ for ‘locant,’ apparently regarding the latter as introduced from 4. 266; but such a thing is hardly probable in the face of authorities so independent as Med., Pal., and Rom. In the previous line he adopts ‘hinc’ from a quotation in Nonius, p. 340, who however has ‘locant,’ while fragm. Vat. apparently has ‘hic,’ so that not much can be made out of this coincidence. The temporary wooden theatre of M. Aemilius Scaurus had a ‘scaena’ of three stories, supported by 360 columns, Pliny 36. 15.
