¹ But does illico presto at 250 hide a proper name? And should diligentioribus, which spoils rhythm at 302, start an otherwise lost new sentence (cf. 24)?

² On the other hand, I do not know why Mazzini makes malus – malum at 67 sound so portentous (pp. 50–1); see T.L.L. s.v. malus 1) 211, 33 seq. As to et bodieque at 137, there is nothing vulgar about that (p. 53), rather the contrary; for bodieque thus, see 50. At 214 Columella 5.10.14 surely enforces Mai's tarentinas, which gives rhythm and is not impossibly corrupted to roncinias (argued by Mazzini to be a rusticity: pp. 55–6), once ta disappeared after -ant.
