1 According to Boettiger, the word "struppus" means a string arranged as a fillet or diadem.
2 Fée makes the word "vocabulum" apply to "corona," and not to "struppus;" but the passage will hardly admit of that rendering.
3 "To bind" or "join together."
4 A "connected line," from the verb "sero."
5 By "quod," Hardouin takes Pliny to mean, the use of the word σπαρτὸν, among the Greeks, corresponding with the Latin word "sertum."
