[202] Furens animi: see on 2. 120. Here some of Pierius' MSS. give ‘animis’ (comp. 8. 228), Gud. a m. pr. and Pal. ‘animo.’ ‘Prora’ Med., which was the reading of Pomp. Sabinus, and was regarded favourably by Heyne. Wagn. objects that the change of nom. would make it necessary to connect ‘furens animi’ with ‘haesit,’ contrary to the sense. But ‘prora’ might be defended as the abl. It is more probable however that the final letter was omitted in consequence of the elision, as Wagn. contends.
