[469] Rom. and originally Med. and Gud. have ‘dextra,’ but ‘dextera’ (pars) is clearly right. Pal. has “amnis.” Serv. has a grammatical note: “‘Amne’ debuit dicere: nunquam enim bene in ‘i’ exeunt, nisi quae communis sunt generis, ut ‘docilis,’ ‘agilis:’ sed ideo ausus est ita ponere ablativum, quia, ut supra diximus, apod maiores ‘hic’ et ‘haec amnis’ dicebatur.” In some copies it is added “Verumtamen quae duas habent consonantes ante ‘is’ in ‘i’ et ‘e’ ablativum mittunt, ut ‘ignis’ ‘igne’ vel ‘igni:’ sic ‘vectis’ ‘vecte’ vel ‘vecti:’ Terentius in Eunucho” [4. 7. 4] “‘Cum vecti Donax.’”
