page 127 note 1 In transmitted verse the opposite error might arise, and the metrical ignorance of editors or copyists transform a haplology into bad metre but satisfactory sense. I do not know of any example, however, unless Lucilius 123, †inde Diciarchitum† (on which see Skutsch, F., Glotta, ii [1910], 370), be one.Google Scholar
