Note 1062 — Chapter XIX · ST. GEORGE AND THE PARILIA

Ovid, Fasti, iv. 747 sq.:—

“Consule, dic, pecori pariter pecorisque magistris:

Effugiat stabulis noxa repulsa meis.”

With this sense of noxa compare id. vi. 129 sq., where it is said that buckthorn or hawthorn “tristes pellere posset a foribus noxas.”
