Note 165 — A. PERSIUS FLACCUS
Reading edition
limen ad obscenum: ‘at a bawdy-house.’ See note on 1, 109. He puts the case strongly. Remember that he is shut out.—frangam: colloquial, ‘smash up,’ ‘make flinders of.’—Chrysidis: In Terence the lady’s name is Thais, not Chrysis.—udas: ‘dripping.’ With what? With perfumes (Lucr., 4, 1179), with wine (Hor., Od., 1, 7, 22), with tears (Ov., Am., 1, 6, 18), with rain (Hor., Od., 3, 10, 19), with the sweat of the commentators of Persius.
