[282] ‘In medio’ is explained by Donatus of the “impluvium,” perhaps rightly, comp. 2. 512 foll., where a bay-tree grows in the “impluvium” of Priam's palace. We must not however expect to be able to trace such details in the description of these vast shadowy realms. Heyne explains it “in medio vestibuli:” see on v. 285. “Ramos et bracchia tendens” G. 2. 296.
