[517] Sulfurea explains ‘albus.’ Virg. doubtless thought of Enn. A. 7. fr. 19, “Sulfureas posuit spiramina Naris ad undas.” ‘Fontes Velini’ appears to be the “lacus Velinus” in the hills beyond Reate and close to the Nar, at least seventy miles from the Trojan camp. The limit may be merely poetical, or it may designate loosely the Sabine country as the extremity of the confederacy.
