Example text
Some earlier scholars mistakenly assumed that the elegiarum libri implied by this citation were identical with the syntagma that began with Book 2, but that syntagma could not have been called libri elegiarum without an intolerable ambiguity, since the monobiblos is also a liber elegiarum. ” 11 Cf. 1, quaeritis unde mihi totiens scribantur Amores. Followed by Heyworth (1995) and Murgia (2000). 4 et turpis de te iam liber alter erit as “belong[ing] to the opening sequence of the second book,” but the prediction implied by the future tense erit can not be reconciled with presence in a second book, and I regard the line as interpolated.
Pulset with the mss, but the graffito is likely to be right about both the i-stem accusative plural dantis and about the indicative form pulsat, which is flanked by verbs ending in -et. 13–14, it is again obvious that the graffito is right about ambulet . . adeo against ambulat . . deo, but it should also be obvious that it is right in giving feriat against noceat in the mss (Hubbard (1968) 318–19); only about the case of Scythiae in the graffito vs Scythicis in the mss is any doubt possible. These six lines, then, attracted at least three and possibly as many as seven corruptions, an alarmingly high rate, though no edition has ever acknowledged even the lower level suggested by these graffiti.
189: monobiblos Properti Cynthia, facundi carmen iuuenale Properti, accepit famam, nec minus ipsa dedit. Book 14 (where the titles, by the way, come from Martial himself; cf. 3–4) is a versified catalogue of objects that might be given as gifts at Saturnalia, including several literary works. Since this format requires that the epigram refer to a single specific work, the heading means “the monobiblos” of Propertius, not “a monobiblos,” and Propertius must have written only one monobiblos if it could be identified this way.
