[487] Lucan 2. 298 has “longum producere funus,” which confirms ‘funera’ here, Stat. 2 Silv. 1. 19 foll. “nigrae sollennia pompae . . . et puerile feretrum Produxi.” But it is possible that the words here may mean ‘I laid out the corpse,’ like ἐκτείνειν. ‘Pressive oculos,’ ὀφθαλμοὺς καθελοῦσα Od. 24. 296. Macrob. Sat. 6. 2 comp. Enn. Cresph. fr. 8, “Neque terram iniicere neque cruenta convestire corpora Mihi licuit, nec miserae lavere lacrimae salsum sanguinem.”
