Note 468 — BOOK THE FOURTEENTH.
Theodore Alois Buckley translation · Edition 4
Footnote 468: (return) I have avoided translating “cestus,” as it is very doubtful what is meant by it. It could not have been an ordinary girdle, since it was to be hidden in the bosom (ver. 219), and since its power appears to have been secret. See Heyne’s note.
