[812] “Mitteret in magnum inperium” 11. 47. With ‘Curibus parvis missus’ comp. G. 2. 385, “Troia gens missa.” For ‘cui’ Ribbeck restores ‘quoi,’ the reading according to Pier. of some old copies, supported by ‘qui’ the first reading of Med. and ‘quid’ Rom. (‘d’ from ‘deinde’): Pal. however has ‘cui,’ and the archaism is not one which Virg. can be proved to have affected, though there are a few passages, where, as here, it is found in some MSS.
