John Conington, Commentary on Vergil's Aeneid, Volume 2, P. VERGILI MARONIS, line 752 (search)
Pliny 3. 12. 17 mentions a story
told by Gellianus of a town Archippa,
founded by Marsyas, and swallowed up by
the waters of lake Fucinus.

Angitia, not Anguitia is the
spelling of this name attested by inscriptions
and the best MSS. The spelling
Anguitia probably arose from a supposed
connexion of the name with anguis: it
is more probably connected with ancus.
The chief seat of the worship of this
goddess was the shore of the lake Fucinus:
but inscriptions Angitiis, Angitiae,
Dis . . . Ancitibus, have been found
elsewhere. (Preller, Römische Mythologie.
p. 362.) She was said to be a daughter of
Aeetes, sister or niece of Circe and sister
of Medea, who taught the Marsians the
use of drugs. Comp. the connexion of
Circe with Italy v. 10 above.
Next after these, his brows and helmet bound
with noble olive, from Marruvium came
a priest, brave Umbro, ordered to the field
by King Archippus: o'er the viper's brood,
and venomed river-serpents he had power
to scatter slumber with wide-waving hands
and wizard-songs. His potent arts could soothe
their coiling rage and heal the mortal sting:
but 'gainst a Trojan sword no drug had he,
nor could his drowsy spells his flesh repair,
nor gathered simples from the Marsic hills.

thee, many a mountain-tarn!

He completed some important public works, which, though, not numerous, were very useful.
The principal were an aqueduct, which had been begun by Caius; an emissary for the discharge of the waters of the Fucine lake,
The Fucine Lake is now called Lago di Celano, in the Farther Abruzzi. It is very extensive, but shallow, so that the difficulty of constructing the Claudian emissary, can scarcely be compared to that encountered in a similar work for lowering the level of the waters in the Alban lake, completed A. U. C. 359.
and the harbour of Ostia; although he knew that Augustus had refused to comply with the repeated application of the Marsians for one of these; and that the other had been several times intended by Julius Caesar, but as often abandoned on account of the difficulty of its execution.
He brought to the city the cool and plentiful springs of the Claudian water, one of which is called
Caeruleus.
and the other Curtius and Albudinus, as likewise the river of the New Anio, in
