[220] Wagn. retains the comma after ‘Aeneas;’ but there is no reason to separate ‘Aeneas’ and ‘gemit,’ though in 6, 176 “Praecipue pius Aeneas” refers to what had preceded. ‘Oronti,’ the quasiGreek gen., as “Oronten” v. 113 is the Greek acc. ‘Oronti’ is supported here by fragm. Vat., Med., the second reading of Rom. and Gud., Serv., Charisius, and Priscian; but the first reading of Rom. and one or two grammarians have ‘Orontis.’
