Note 81 — Second Part.
Reading edition
So too in the following Epigram of Ausonius (127.),
Eune, quod uxoris gravidae putria inguina lambis, Festinas glossas non natis tradere natis.
(Eunus, you lick the flabby organs of your pregnant wife; is it you are in a hurry to give learned explanations to your babes unborn?) we should explain the putria inguina not so much as rotten, ulcerous, but rather as laxata or laxa (relaxed, flabby). Similarly Horace, Epod. VIII. 7., speaks of mammae putres (the flabby dugs) of an old woman.
