page 224 note 1 Luck is commendably cautious about Gallus (p. 46); more stress might be laid on the fact that Quintilian brigaded him, and no other elegist, with Tibullus, Propcrtius, and Ovid.
page 225 note 1 ‘ … what really matters is the fact that [different elements] all occur in the same poem …’ (p. 57).
page 225 note 2 Ovid's own words at Am. i. 1. 27 sex mihi surgat opus numeris, in quinque residat show that for him the couplet consisted of two parts. The onus is on a modern writer to prove otherwise.
page 225 note 3 Not neglecting comedy, though I agree, broadly, with Luck's argument at pp. 35 ff.
