[571] Wakef. and Jahn make ‘numen’ acc. after ‘condita,’ which would be harsh. Rom. and others have ‘levavit,’ which would be easier, as ‘levabat’ is not sufficiently supported by 11. 827, “linquebat habenas,” where we are meant to dwell on the gradual relaxation of Camilla's grasp in death. Perhaps one may say that the description of Amsanctus has the same effect here, making us linger on the contemplation of the Fury's disappearance: or the point may be the gradual relief caused by her removal.
