John Conington, Commentary on Vergil's Aeneid, Volume 1, P. VERGILI MARONIS, line 414 (search)
Sutilis seems to indicate that it
was a light boat of skins, such as was used
by the ancient Britons, or of rushes or
flags, like those of the Egyptians (comp.
Pliny 7. 56). The latter view agrees with
the supposition that the conception of
Charon was derived from Egypt. Germ.
suggests futilis, which is found in the
Venetian ed. (of 1470?). Festus s. v.
Futiles says Vasa futilia a fundendo
vocata. Rimosa: Charon's boat is described
as crazy by Lucian, Dial. Mort. 22
(quoted by Wagn.), to\ skafi/dion kai\ u(po/saqro/n
e)sti kai\ diar'r(ei= ta\ polla/. Accepit
paludem: comp. laxis laterum conpagibus
omnes Accipiunt inimicum imbrem
1. 122. The meaning is that the
weight made rents in the boat.
