[140] Derigere, not ‘dirigere,’ is the common form in Virg., and possibly the right one in Latin generally: see Munro on Lucr. 6.823. The phrase ‘volnera derigere’ occurs Tac. H. 2. 35, and Sen. Here. Oet. 160 (Gossr. and Forb.). Comp. “volnus detorsit” for “telum detorsit” 9. 745, and see note on 2. 529. ‘Calamos armare veneno’ like “ferrumque armare veneno” 9. 773.
