[559] There are three possible readings, ‘inexpletum lacrimans’ Pal. (originally), ‘inexpletus lacrimans’ Pal. (corrected), Rom. (which has ‘inpletus,’ the original reading of Gud.), and ‘inexpletus lacrimis’ Med. All three are mentioned by Serv., who prefers the first; and this was the usual reading till Wagn., who introduced the second. ‘Inexpletus lacrimans’ is strongly supported by G. 4. 370, though there is a question there between “saxosus” and “saxosum,” and by A. 3. 70 “lenis crepitans,” 5. 764 “creber adspirans,” at the same time that it enables us to account easily for the two other readings. See also on G. 3. 28.
