Note 1671 — BOOK V.
Lewis Evans translation
The whole passage is corrupt. Gerlach's emendation is followed, with the exception of reading sanè for sanus.
Creperus is equivalent to anceps, dubius. Cf. Lucr., v., 1296, "creperi certamina belli." Pacuv., Dulorest, Fr. 19, "Non vetet animum ægritudine in re creperâ confici."
