[424] Satus Anchisa: see on v. 244 above. ‘Pater:’ see on v. 130 above. ‘Extulit,’ perhaps from the ships, or from the place where he was lodged, though we should rather have expected Aeneas to have sent a message for them, as in v. 359. Comp. however 11. 72, “Tum geminas vestes auroque ostroque rigentis Extulit Aeneas,” where the meaning evidently is ‘brought them out of his tent.’ νηῶν δ᾽ ἔκφερ᾽ ἄεθλα is said of Achilles Il. 23. 259. But the word need merely mean that Aeneas lifted them from the ground where they had been placed before him. In Apoll. R. 2. 51 foll. Amycus scornfully gives Pollux the choice of the gloves that have been set down at their feet; Pollux carelessly takes up those next him.
