[72] Deiopea is the reading of all Ribbeck's MSS. The common and easier reading ‘Deiopeam,’ which Heyne retained, is supported by quotations by Donatus and Maximus Victorinus. ‘Deiopea’ is mentioned with the epithet ‘Asia’ in G. 4. 343, as one of the companions of Cyrene. ‘Forma pulcherrima,’ v. 496 below.
