cinguntur.
Virgil - Aeneid
234--_moenia pandimus urbis.
_ Moenia cetera urbis tecta vel aedes
accipiendum. --Serv. This is the sense which the word generally has in
Virgil: it is often used in contrast with _muri_, or as a synonym of
_urbs_; and in most cases _city_ is its nearest English equivalent.
l. 381--_caerula colla tumentem. _ Caerulum est viride cum nigro. --Serv.
on vii. 198. Cf. iii. 208, where it is used of the colour of the sea
after a storm.
l. 616--_nimbo effulgens.
_ est fulgidum lumen quo deorum capita
cinguntur. sic etiam pingi solet. --Serv. Cf. xii. 416.
BOOK THIRD
l. 127--_freta concita terris_ with all the best MSS. ; _consita_ Con.
l. 152--_qua se Plena per insertas fundebat Luna fenestras. _ The usual
explanation, which makes _insertas_ an epithet transferred by a sort of
hypallage from _Luna_ to _fenestras_, is extremely violent, and makes

mentions two other interpretations; _non seratas, quasi inseratas_, and
_clatratas_; the last has been adopted in the translation.
In the passage of Lucretius (ii. 114) which Virgil has imitated here,
Contemplator enim cum solis lumina . .
