^{page 69 note 1} For the use of extendere compare ii. 434 ‘(Appenninus) extendit … suas in templa Lacinia rapes’, Ov. Met. i. 43 ‘iussit et extendi campos, subsidere ualles’.

^{page 69 note 2} Bentley compares Luc. iv. 429 ‘iamque relabenti crescebant litora ponto’.

^{page 69 note 7} An example of the normal usage is iv. 433 ‘noluit Illyricae custos Octauius undae / confestim temptare ratem, celeresque Carinas / continuit’ (‘but held back’).

^{page 69 note 8} What Lucan wrote was Latin and the above text is not Latin for ‘the land will refuse to stretch out its coast-line, the restraint of which the sea will throw off’ (so Professor Getty).
