[97] “Varro in libris Logistoricis dicit, ideo mortuis salve et vale dici, non quod aut valere aut salvi esse possint, sed quod ab his recedimus eos numquam visuri,” Serv. See on 5. 80. In Il. 23. 19 Achilles says χαῖρέ μοι, ὦ Πάτροκλε, καὶ εἰν Ἀΐδαο δόμοισιν, which will illustrate ‘mihi’ here. ‘Salve’ and ‘vale’ are similarly joined, Stat. 3 Silv. 3. 208. Rom. has ‘Pallas.’
