[31] Servabat: persons were hired at Rome to watch the body. Lersch § 86 cites Appuleius Met 2, p. 39 Bipont. “si qui mortuum servare vellet, de pretio liceretur.” ‘Parrhasio Euandro’ the Greek rhythm, as in 1. 617 “Dardanio Anchisae” &c. ‘Parrhasio’ 8. 344. The object of the epithet here may be to call back the mind to Evander's early life, as we should say ‘in his Arcadian days.’
