[43] Aut is used for “neque,” ‘non’ being taken with both clauses, as in 10. 529, “Non hic victoria Teucrum Cernitur, aut anima una dabit discrimina tanta.” Jahn's interpretation, supplying “externus” to ‘cruor,’ seems better than Heyne's, “this blood flows not from the wood, but from my body.” For ‘aut’ many of the MSS., as usual, read ‘haud,’ which is found in the old editions.
