Note 456 — JUVENAL'S SATIRES. (continued 2)
Lewis Evans translation
Eponam (cf. Aristoph., Nub., 84), the patroness of grooms. Some read "Hipponam," which Gifford prefers, from the tameness of the epithet "solam." Cf. Blunt's Vestiges, p. 29.
"On some rank deity, whose filthy face We suitably o'er stinking stables place." Dryden.
