[273] Horum unum takes up the interrupted sentence: comp. Il. 14. 410 foll., Χερμαδίῳ, τά ῥα πολλά, θοάων ἔχματα νηῶν, Πὰρ ποσὶ μαρναμένων ἐκυλίνδετο: τῶν ἓν ἀείρας &c. Med. (first reading) ‘mediam’ for ‘medium:’ and so some inferior MSS., reading also ‘alvum.’ ‘Medium’ used as a subst. as in 7. 59, 227, 563., 9. 230, &c. ‘Teritur alvo,’ presses against (is rubbed by) the stomach. Heyne less naturally takes ‘alvo’ as = ‘on the stomach,’ joining ‘teritur’ with “adstrictu fibulae” understood. Med. has ‘auro’ for ‘alvo,’ perhaps from a reminiscence of 5. 312, “Lato qua circumplectitur auro Balteus.” ‘Sutilis:’ the belt was probably made of leather and plated with metal: see Dict. A. ‘Balteus.
