[582] Sanguine sudare is from Enn. Hect. Lustr. fr. 11 (Vahlen), “terra sudat sanguine.” Lucr. 5.1129 has “sanguine sudent,” of aspirants to power. Thus ‘undarit,’ the conjecture of Heins., would be no improvement. ‘Totiens’ refers to the whole course of the war. Π̔έε δ᾽ αἵματι γαῖα is a feature of an ordinary battle in Homer.
