Eine Konjektur zu Lucr. 4,791

Ullrich, Heiko

Lucretius, textual criticism, syntax, dancing, image theory

An emendation is offered on Lucr. 4,791. Since the paradosis (oculis) neither fits semantically nor syntactically into the context, the following note proposes the emendation motum ac to add an important element of dancing to both gestum and (the ablative of) pes conueniens in the same verse. The corruption can be explained by the assumption that a scribe in copying the text lost ac and then (a corrector?) noted the missing word down above motum. When reintegrating the word in the text the next scribe positioned it not after but before motum, creating the syntactically impossible ac (m)otum, that could first be read as oculum and then could be emended‘ (in fact further corrupted) into the dative oculis (with respect to conuenienti)
