[59] Tot is probably to be explained from the context, and especially from v. 62. ‘So many seas as I have entered, it is time that I should rest.’ ‘Intravi’ implies that the seas were previously unknown to him, “hospita aequora,” as they are called 3. 373. ‘Duce te’ need not mean that Apollo showed the way, but merely that he prompted them to sail till they should reach Italy. Comp. “me duce” 10. 92. ‘Repostas’ 3. 364 note. ‘Penitus’ is only an extension of the same notion, so that the two words = “longe remotas.”
