[330] Sis felix, ‘be propitious.’ Comp. E. 5. 65, “Sis bonus o felixque tuis.” Wund., following a hint of Heyne, thinks it may stand for χαῖρε, which is so common in Greek hymns; but the passage just cited is against this. ‘Quaecumque (es),’ a sort of vocative clause: comp. 8. 122, “Egredere o quicumque es.” For the thought comp. Od. 16. 183.
