[757] “Quae pervincere voces Evaluere sonum?” Hor. 2 Ep. 1. 201. Med. (1st reading), Rom., and originally one of Ribbeck's cursives, have ‘in volnere,’ which Gossrau prefers, denying that ‘in volnera’ can be satisfactorily explained. But it is merely arbitrary to say that the words quoted stand for “ad volnera infligenda,” but cannot for “ad volnera sananda.” ‘Helped with a view to wounds’ is the sense: what kind of help is given depends on the nature of the case. A correction in Med. gives ‘ad volnera.’
