Abstract
A previously unnoticed Virgilian construction consists of (1) the adjective melior and (2) a grammatically independent clause, introduced by sed, that supplies qualifying circumstances. At Aeneid 10.735, where this melior … sed construction is cut off midstream, a loss of some lines is shown to be likely. Further evidence for this consists in the fact that the passage as it stands suffers from a gap in the battle-narrative. A future editor should print asterisks between lines 735 and 736.
期刊介绍：
Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
