Note 2 — CAPTIVI THE CAPTIVES (continued 2)
Paul Nixon translation
Leo notes lacuna here: (cette), iam hoc tenetis Schoell. 3. vel precedes in MSS: Leo brackets. B. Here, as in the lines 880-883, the translator craves pardon for distorting the ages and spoiling the climes in his efforts to secure something of the effect of the original puns.
