[198, 199] Ille: see on G. 4. 457. Serv. identifies Ocnus with Bianor E. 9. 60 (note). ‘Mantus’ the Greek gen. of ‘Manto.’ This Manto is identified by Serv. with the daughter of Tiresias: an idea traceable to the general tendency observable in these legends to mingle Greek with Italian associations. Others make Manto the daughter of Hercules. ‘Tusci amnis’ apparently the Tiber, as 8. 473.
