Euboea (Greece) (search for this): book 2, sectio M1
). The limping effect is produced because the last foot is always a spondee. Haec: sc. Fortuna . et aestuantis: this is the reading of the manuscripts, but it creates a cum-clause with two verbs in different moods ( verterit . . . fertur ). The emendation exaestuantis has proven attractive; on that reading, line 1 is the cum -clause. Euripi: The narrow churning strait separating the island of Euboea from the Greek mainland. dudum: "just now"; adverb with tremendos . ultroque = ultro ("moreover, furthermore") + -que . suis: "of her power," genitive with ostentum . The letters in brackets are an emendation designed to heal the meter; the manuscripts read simply suis ("to her [followers]"), but the line then has one syllable too few. Other possi
Red Sea (search for this): book 3, sectio M3
Metrum 3: The rich are plagued by cares. Meter: Iambic trimeter alternating with elegiac pentameter (= 2 hemiepes).

Jupiter (Canada) (search for this): book 1, sectio M5
lucida: modifies luna (line 7). fratris: i.e., Phoebus (the sun); final syllable closed before diaeresis. obvia: "opposite" (with dative), modifies luna (line 7). condat: "dims." Phoebo propior: "closer to Phoebus" i.e., as day nears. Hesperos (evening star) and Lucifer (morning star) are the names given to whatever planet (usually Venus or Jupiter) shines brightest at dawn and at dusk. B.'s point in these lines is that the same planet can be evening star now, and morning star a few weeks from now. algentes . . . ortus: "chilly risings." Hesperos: Greek nominative form, "[as] the evening star." Lucifer: "[as] the morning star." Winter and summer. frondifluae: "leaf-flowing"; a word not otherwise attested in surviving Latin authors, perhaps co
Phoenicia (search for this): book 2, sectio M5
o]." melle: < mel , "honey"; honey wine or mead ( mulsum ) was a luxury at Rome. lucida vellera Serum (< Seres , "the Chinese"): "gleaming fleeces of the Chinese," i.e., silk from China (not long after B.'s death the emperor Justinian sought to import silkworms to the empire to satisfy demand for the fabric). Tyrio . . . veneno: "Tyrian dye," extracted from shellfish and exported from Tyre in Phoenicia to adorn the richest garments. ( Venenum is ordinarily "venom," but with proper adjectives is regularly used for "dye" as well.) herba: "grass." secabat: < seco , "cut, cleave"; subject is hospes (line 15). mercibus undique lectis: "having gathered merchandise from all over." classica: < classicum , "battle signal, trumpet." vide
