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.
