[69] “Ut solet, miscet historiam. Nam hoc templum in Palatio ab Augusto factum est: sed quia Augustus cohaeret Iulio, qui ab Aenea ducebat originem, vult ergo Augustum parentum vota solvisse.” Serv. The temple was built in honour of Apollo (Suet. Oct. 29), but it appears from the description in Prop. 3. 23. 15 that the statue of the god stood between statues of Latona and Diana. ‘Templum’ was restored by Heins. from Med. and Rom. for ‘templa’ (Pal., Gud. &c.). Henry prefers the latter, but in the parallel instances he quotes the plural is put for the sing. for the metre, which could not be pleaded here: and the change seems due to some copyist who supposed two temples to be intended. “Templum de marmore” 4. 457, G. 3. 13.
