Note 410 — BOOK II. AN ACCOUNT OF THE WORLD AND THE ELEMENTS. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
“ab eliciendo, seu quod precationibus cœlo evocaretur, id nomen traxit.” This is confirmed by the following lines from Ovid, Fast. iii. 327, 328:—
“Eliciunt cœlo te, Jupiter: unde minores Nunc quoque te celebrant, Eliciumque vocant.”
