Med., Pal., and Gud. originally, have signant, which Heins. preferred and Wagn. now adopts. But though signare nomen might possibly mean to impress a name, signat, the reading of Rom. and most MSS., is far more natural, and the confusion of sing. and pl. by transcribers is common enough. Signare then will mean to commemorate, as in 3. 287. Tac. Germ. 28, perhaps imitating this passage, has nomen signat loci memoriam.
