This is usually emended to tinus for two reasons: (1) a pine is too large for the gnat's grave-enclosure; not very convincing, especially when one looks at some of the other things planted by the shepherd. (2) semper florida does not suit it. See however Paul. Nol. carm. 21, 298 pinus enim semper florente cacumine perstans (he certainly means the pine since he derives an etymology of the name Pinianus from it, and he uses its evergreen nature to make an allegorical point)o This is perhaps a reminiscence of the Culex, and if anyone is still sure that that passage is corrupt, at least the corruption can be given a terminus ante quem. Ciris 46 dona meo multum vigilata labore. This seems to be imitated by Waiter of Speyer, MGH Poet. Lat. Aevi Carol. 5, p. 23, 201 dona soporis ... multo vigilata labore (noted in the index p. 770); he flourished around 1000 A.D. Could he have seen the Graz fragment when that was complete? Or the ancestor of the Z-grbup of manuscripts? Or something else? Ciris 89 quidquid et ut quisque est tali de c lade locutus As Housman (addenda to note on Manil. 3, 103) explains, ut means utut. Since the parallels which Housman quotes are not particularly close, it may be worth while to adduce Plaut. Bacch. 1087 quiquomque ubi (ubique 42 Edward Courtney B) sunt, qui fuerunt quique futuri sunt post hac, where ubi means ubi ubi ; ubi ubi was in fact conjectured by Renaissance scholars. Catalepton 13,5-6 valent, valent mihi ira et antiquusfuror et lingua qua t assim t tibi. The best emendation of this (though Nemethy's par sim is not much inferior) is Scaliger's sat sim, 'a tongue to make me a match for you'; if this became atsim, the scribes would have thought that they were just modernising the spelling. Compare Lucil. 1147 cui, si coniuret, populus vix totus satis sit ; Plaut. Persa 27 quasi Titan cum is belligerem quibus sat esse non queam?; V erg. Aen. 7, 470 (Turnus ait) se satis ambobus Teucrisque venire Latinisque. Copa 5 quid iuvat aestivo defessum pulvere abisse? quam potius bibulo decubuisse toro! This punctuation was adopted by Goodyear, BICS 24 (1977) 122, but with reservations about its Latinity, so it may be as well to list such occurrences as I can fmd of quam with a comparative where we might expect quanto (Hofmann- Szantyr, Lat Syntax 164 restrict this to late Latin, e.g. Luxorius, Anth. Lat. 348 R. 1). These are Liv. 4, 57, 6 exemplo fuit ... quam gratia atque honos opportuniora interdum non cupientibus essent; V al. FL 7, 336 o nimium iucunda dies, quam cara sub ipsa I morte magis!; Mart. 9, 34, 8 cernite quam plus sit Caesaris esse patrem (quam plus is also in the manuscripts of Calp. decl. 47, but the text is corrupt); Stat. silv. 2, 2, 60 o quam ... fortior, Urse, fores!, 5, 3, 219 quam tuus ille dies, quam non mihi gloria maior! (= quanto minor gloria mihi). This question verges on a similar problem at Hor. cann. 1, 11, 2 ut me/ius, where editors have long quoted Plaut. True. 806 as a parallel. I will not linger over the highly suspect text at Cic. 2 V err. 5, 57, but one may note that malle can be modified by ut, quam or quanto (see TLL s. v. 203, 53-56).
