[8] It is not easy to choose between ‘unanimem,’ the first reading of Med., found also in two of Ribbeck's cursives, and ‘unanimam.’ The same question recurs in other parts of Virg. about this and other compounds of “animus.” Wagn. thinks Virg. was decided in each case by euphony. Virg. has followed Apollonius in making Dido's confidante her sister: Naevius however, as we learn from Serv., had already spoken of Anna as Dido's sister.
