[82] Inferias 10. 519. “‘Caeso sanguine’ pro caesorum, ut supra (10. 520) ‘Captivoque rogi perfundat sanguine flammas,’” Serv. Comp. Soph. fr. inc. 726 Nauck, αἷμα συγγενὲς κτείνας. ‘Sparsuros’ was the reading before Wagn.; but it is found in none of Ribbeck's uncials, and Aeneas might be said to sprinkle their blood, as he selected them for sacrifice, just as we have “perfundat” in 10. l. c. ‘Flammas’ Med., Pal., and three of Ribbeck's cursives, ‘flammam’ Rom., Gud. The former may have been introduced from 10. l. c., so it is perhaps best to retain the latter.
