[312] Ucalegon: one of the ancient counsellors who sat with Priam on the wall, Il. 3. 148. The man is put for his house, as Apollo for his temple, 3. 275. “Iam frivola transfert Ucalegon” Juv. 3. 288, alluding to this passage. So “ad nos” for “ad nostram domum.” ‘Lata’ has the force of “late.” Forb. comp. 12. 785, “ter caelo clarus ab alto Intonuit.”
