[519] Tiburti Rom., Med. and Pal corrected, ‘Tiburni’ Med. and Pal. originally. The former is supported by all Ribbeck's MSS. in 7. 671, and by “Tiburtia moenia” ib. 670. Tiburtus was the king of the place: his brothers Catillus and Coras led the troops: see 7. l. c. ‘Ducis et tu concipe curam:’ ‘et,’ as Serv. rightly says, does not mean as well as Messapus &c., but as well as Turus himself, the point of his speech being that she is to share his business. ‘Concipere’ however cannot mean, as Serv. thinks, to share, “mecum cape,” but must mean to assume. Some copies point after ‘ducis,’ wrongly.
