[32] Ov. M. 14. 447, in his brief narrative of Aeneas' landing, nearly repeats Virg., “lucosque petunt ubi nubilus umbra In mare cum flava prorumpit Thybris arena.” Lucr. 6.436 has “prorumpitur in mare” of the wind. ‘Variae volucres’ G. 1. 383. Comp. Lucr. 2.344 foll., Id. 1. 589 and Munro's note. ‘Supra’ is long elsewhere in Virg. Stat. Theb. 9. 114 ends a line similarly, “circumque supraque,” though he also elsewhere, as Markland observes, makes the first syll. long. Ribbeck fancies the original reading may have been “circum superaque” in both passages, an opinion in which few writers of hexameters will agree with him.
