[130] Tellure Med., Pal., Gud., confirmed by Arusianus p. 225 L. ‘Telluri’ Rom. and one of Ribbeck's cursives. Heyne read ‘tellure,’ and so Ribbeck: Wagn., Forb., and Gossr. ‘telluri:’ Virg. uses both dat. and abl. with ‘defigo’ (G. 2. 290 “terrae,” A. 6. 652 “terra”), and the balance of external authority should therefore decide the question. The words are adapted from Il. 3. 134 foll., Οἳ δὴ νῦν ἕαται σιγῇ, πόλεμος δὲ πέπαυται, Ἀσπίσι κεκλιμένοι, παρὰ δ᾽ ἔγχεα μακρὰ πέπηγεν. ‘Reclinant,’ lean against the ground.
