[189] Cerda comp. Tac. A. 1. 65, “Apud Romanos invalidi ignes, interruptae voces . . insomnes magis quam pervigiles,” Stat. Theb. 8. 266, “Incertaeque faces et iam male pervigil ignis.” ‘Sepulti’ was read by Heins. from Serv. (who explains it as from “sine pulsu”) and some copies, including one of Ribbeck's cursives: but Wagn. rightly attributes it to a recollection of 2. 265, and recalls ‘soluti.’ Sleep is said from different points of view to bind and to relax the limbs: see on 5. 857.
