[380] For ‘abitum’ Med. (second reading), Pal., Rom., fragm. Verona, and originally Gud. have ‘aditum,’ which was the old reading before Heins. Serv. however distinctly prefers ‘abitum,’ which is required by the sense. ‘Coronant’ i. q. “cingunt,” as in Lucr. 2.802, “pluma columbarum . . . Quae sita cervices circum collumque coronat” and other instances quoted by Forc., with a further reference to the use of “corona” as a military term for besiegers surrounding a place (Forc. “corona”).
