[784] So Il. 22. 276 of the spear of Achilles: Ἀνὰ δ᾽ ἥρπασε Παλλὰς Ἀθήνη, Ἂψ δ᾽ Ἀχιλῆϊ δίδου, λάθε δ᾽ Ἕκτορα, ποιμένα λαῶν. It is unnecessary to suppose with Serv. that Juturna had again assumed her own form: the words ‘in faciem’ &c. are a general description of her, as in v. 623 above. ‘Rursus’ therefore should be taken with ‘procurrit,’ not with ‘mutata.’ ‘Conversa’ (as in v. 623) Pal., Med. a m. s., with some inferior copies: ‘mutata’ Med. a m. p., Gud., and two other of Ribbeck's cursives.
