[375] Adibis was restored by Brunck and Heyne from Rom. and Med. for ‘abibis,’ the old reading, retained even by Heins. Serv. mentions both. It would be difficult to see the propriety of ‘abibis,’ as there is no question of going from any place to the bank. ‘Adire’ on the other hand is correlative to “accipere,” v. 315. ‘Iniussus,’ by the gods or by Charon, and so virtually in this context = “inhumatus.”
