[522] Valles is a collateral form of ‘vallis’ (comp. “aedis” and “aedes,” “felis” and “feles,” “vulpis” and “vulpes”） recognized by Serv. and by Prob. Cathol. p. 1470 P, though there seems some doubt about the text of the latter, but found only here and 7. 565. ‘Vallis,’ the reading before Heins., is the original reading of one of Ribbeck's cursives. ‘Anfractus’ seems to mean a curve of any kind: see Forc., who quotes Varro L. L. 7. 15 Müller, where “in anfracto” is explained “in flexu.” Here accordingly we are to think of a winding glen. ‘Adcommodus’ is a rare word, perhaps confined to poetry.
