[130] ‘A stirpe’ Pal., Rom., Gud., ‘ab stirpe’ Med. It seems simply a question of external authority, so I have followed Ribbeck in reading ‘a.’ ‘Fores’ seems to be used on the analogy of those cases where ‘quod’ with the subj. gives a reason which the speaker denies to be the true one (Madv. § 357 b), though what is denied here is not the reason but the fact which the reason might have justified. ‘Geminis Atridis’ 2. 500.
