[215] This is an answer to “errore viae” v. 199, as the line before is to “tempestatibus acti.” ‘We have not strayed from our course by mistaking the stars or the landmarks’—the two things by which they steered. Comp. 5. 25. ‘Sidus’ however might conceivably stand for a storm (stormy season): see 11. 259. For ‘regione viae’ see on 2. 737. ‘Fallere regione viae’ (to deceive in or in respect of the course) occurs again 9. 385, where see note.
