[558] Humi Med. first reading, Pal., Rom., Gud., and two more of Ribbeck's cursives. ‘Humo’ Med. second reading: comp. 9. 214, “mandet humo.” ‘Humo’ Wagn.: but see on 1. 193. ‘Patrioque’ Med., and so Wagn. and Ribbeck: ‘patriove’ Pal., Rom., Gud., with two other of Ribbeck's cursives: and so Heyne. Either might stand: but the balance of authority is in favour of ‘patriove.’ ‘Patrio sepulchro:’ the sepulchre of your father: it would hardly be necessary for Aeneas to remember (as Wagn. Q. V. 40. 2 thinks he should have done) that Tarquitus' father was Faunus or a Faun and therefore immortal. In any case, ‘patrio’ may be used loosely for ‘your ancestral tomb.’
