[529] Ferte in the sense of ‘date,’ perhaps with an allusion to the use of ‘ferre’ of a wafting or carrying wind. ‘Vento’ apparently as in 1. 307., 2. 25., 4. 46, an instrumental or modal ablative. Altogether the expression is a harsh one, and could hardly be justified except by a reference to Virg.'s practice of alluding to one form of words while he uses another.
