[763] Eductum, reared, like “educatum:” see on 6. 765. ‘Egeriae:’ a grove near Aricia was sacred to Egeria, as well as one near Rome. Ov. M. 15. 497 makes Egeria fly to Aricia for grief at the death of Numa, and there to be gently rebuked by Hippolytus for disturbing the rites of Diana with her lamentations. See also Ov. F. 3. 261 foll. (Dict. M. ‘Aegeria’). Some however (as Forb.) make only one grove of Egeria, that here spoken of. For ‘humentia’ Pal. and one of Ribbeck's cursives, supported by Gud. and a third cursive, have ‘Hymetia,’ which (in the form ‘Hymettia’) was the reading of many old edd., and even Heins. and Burm.: but Heyne rightly ascribes it to a confusion between ‘humentia’ and “Symaethia,” the word in the parallel 9. 584. The ‘humentia litora’ are those of the Lacus Nemorensis (Dict. G. ‘Aricia’).
