[634, 5] Taken, but, as usual, with an exaggeration, significant of unreality, from Od. 8. 59 foll. Comp. 5. 96 note. ‘Magnorum horrentia centum Terga suum,’ for “centum sues tergis horrentibus.” Comp. 4. 511 note. ‘Centum’ may go either with ‘terga’ or with ‘suum;’ but it more probably belongs to the former. See on 5. 404, “tantorum ingentia septem Terga boum.”
