Abstract
This paper argues that the text of Moretum 45, transuersat durata manu liquidoque coacta (“kneads (?) the dough made firm and dense with his hand and water”), has two problems: first, the asyndetic conjunction with the preceding line is harsh; second, the verb transuersare is otherwise unattested in classical Latin and does not produce a plausible sense here. Both problems are simultaneously solved by writing et uersat: “and keeps turning over the dough as it is being made firm and dense with his hand and water.”
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.
