and peace, and that possibly the rhythm of the lines is intended to represent this. 59. pleno copia cornu] For Copia personified with her horn of plenty (our 'cornucopia,' benignum cornu, 2. 17. 16), see Class. Dict. s. v. Amalthea. 62. acceptus] 'welcome,' 'dear.' Camenae here=simply 'Muses,' but see 4. 6. 27. 63. qui salutari...] Παιάν, Παιώνιος. 65. Palatinas arces] With reference to the temple of Apollo on the Palatine, in which this hymn was sung, built by Augustus B. c. 28, in memory of the battle of Actium, cf. 1. 31. Many MSS. have aras. aequus, 'with favourable eye.' 1. 66. felix] The run of the verse seems to point to this word going with Latium rather than with lustrum, as Orelli takes it. 67. lustrum] for lustrum='a space of five years' cf. 4. 14. 37 n. The reference is doubtless to the fact that Augustus, at the conclusion of the 10 years for which he had originally accepted the imperium, was in B. c. 18 invested with it for a further period of five years. 68. proroget, curet, applicet] I so read with hesitation in preference to prorogat, curat, applicat. The MSS. authority is fluctuating. The whole hymn has hitherto been a supplication, and the use of si in l. 65 seems to point to a continued appeal, cf. its use in 1. 37. On the other hand it is urged that "the time for urgent prayer and expostulation is past: the chorus has now assumed the tone of confidence and promise," and that the assertion in the last stanza would be abrupt if the prayer be continued to 1. 72. 69. Algidum] Algidus is a mountain in Latium near Tusculum. Diana is described as 'rejoicing in it,' 1. 21. 6. 70. quindecim virorum] sc. sacris faciendis. They formed a collegium or 'guild' and had charge of the Sibylline books. They originally numbered only two: Tac. (Ann. 11. 11) states that they had charge of these games. 71. puerorum] 'both boys and girls, in accordance with the old use of puer for either sex.' Wickham. dicere: 75. doctus] 'trained,' i. e. by the poet, who would be xopodidáσkaλos, cf. 4. 6. 43, docilis modorum | vatis Horati. epexegetic. CAMBRIDGE: PRINTED BY C. J.
