1241 (return) [ Cydippe—Ver. 382. Callimachus wrote a poem on the loves of Acontius and Cydippe. See Epistles xx and xxi.]
1242 (return) [ Andromache.—Ver. 383. She was a heroine of Tragedy, while Thais, the courtesan, figured in the Eunuchus, a Comedy of Terence.]
1243 (return) [ Noble Epic.—Ver. 396. 'Epos'seems preferable here to 'opus,' the common reading. * Disgust.—Ver. 432. This passage and that in 1. 437, are necessarily somewhat modified.]
1244 (return) [ Procris. J—Ver. 453. See the Translation of the Metamorphoses, p 262.]
1245 (return) [ Wife from Ida.'—Ver. 454. He refers to Clytemnestra being supplanted by Cassandra.]
1246 (return) [ The brother of.—Ver. 455 Alcmæon was married to Alphesibea, the daughter of Phegeus, and deserted her for Calirrhoë, the daughter of the river Achelous.]
1247 (return) [ Odrysian.—Ver. 459. He here alludes to the story of Tereus and Progne.]
1248 (return) [ Than she who.—Ver. 464. 'Quæ' seems to be a preferable reading to 'cui though in either case the sense is the same. Ovid had probably the instance of Niobe in his mind, when he wrote this passage. See the Metamorphoses, B. vi. 1. 297.]
1249 (return) [ Had ordered.—Ver. 473. See the Introduction to the Epistle of Briseis to Achilles.]
1250 (return) [ If the first syllable.—Ver. 476. Ovid, with his propensity for playing upon words, remarks upon the similarity of the names, Chryseis and Seis; the one being the daughter of Chryses, and the other of Briser.]
1251 (return) [ Appear asleep.—Ver. 499. See the Amores, B. ii. El. v. 1. 13.]
1252 (return) [ And let not this.—Ver. 513. The reading of this line and the next is probably corrupt. Burmann suggests that 'propositus' should lie substituted for 'propositis,' and that the stop should be removed from the end of 'amàndi,' and a semicolon placed after 'propositus.' In that case, the meaning would be, 'You must, however, act the deceiver to yourself, and must not make any determination to cease altogether from loving her; lest, as the horse struggles against the rein, your affection should rebel against such a determination.']
1253 (return) [ Collinian.—Ver. 549. See the Fasti, B. iv. 1. 8'2, and the Note.]
1254 (return) [ The Puteal.—Ver. 561. 'Puteal' properly means the enclosure which surrounds the opening of a well, to prevent persons from falling into it. The 'Puteal' here referred to was that called 'Puteal Scribonianum,' or 'Libonis,' and was situate in the Forum, near the Fabian arch. Scribonius Libo erected in its neighbourhood a tribunal for the Prætor, in consequence of which the place was frequented by persons engaged in litigation, especially by debtors and creditors; to which circumstance reference is here made.]
1255 (return) [ And Janus.—Ver. 561. He probably refers to the fact of the temple of Janus being near the Puteal, and the tribunal of the Praetor. The Calends, or first of January, was the time when money lent became due, and on the same day was the Festival of Janus. See the Fasti, B. i. 1. 89.]
1256 (return) [ On its return home.—Ver. 569. 'In reditu' may certainly mean 'upon its return;' but Burmann thinks that 'reditus' here means 'a source of income,' and that the passage alludes to the man whose only property is his ship.]
1257 (return) [ In service.—Ver. 571; Those who were old enough to have sons In service, or marriageable daughters, were certainly unworthy of the Poet's sympathy or advice.]
1258 (return) [ Palinurus.—Ver. 577. The pilot of Æneas, who was drowned off die coast of Italy. See the Æneid of Virgil.]
1259 (return) [ Triennial.—Ver. 593. See the Metamorphoses, Book vi. 1. 587; and the Fasti, Book i. 1. 394, and the Notes.]
1260 (return) [ Edoniatu—Ver. 594. See the Tristia, Book iv. El. i. 1. 42, and the Note.]
1261 (return) [ Your foliage lost.—Ver. 606. He alludes to the story of the woods losing their leaves in their grief for Phyllis.]
1262 (return) [ Hail!'—Ver. 640. Martial tells us that 'ave' was the morning illutation of the Romans.]
1263 (return) [ Appian.'—Ver. 660. See the Art of Love, Book iii. 1. 451.]
1264 (return) [ In the company.—Ver. 663. Heinsius thinks, that by 'aderam,' it is meant that Ovid was acting as the counsel of the youth. The young man had probably summoned his mistress, to restore his property left in her possession. On the two tablets his case was written out.]
1265 (return) [ Loose folds.—Ver. 680. The Roman fops affected to wear the 'toga, tightened into many creases at the waist, and as open as possible at the breast.]
1266 (return) [ Not venture.—Ver. 699. He alludes to the abrupt departure of Ulysses from Calypso and Circe.]
1267 (return) [ Cauldrons of Amyclæ.—Ver. 707. The purple dye of Amyelæ, in Laconia, was of a very fair quality, but could not be compared with that af Tyre.]
1268 (return) [ Thestius.—Ver. 721. See the Metamorphoses, Book viii. 1. 445.]
1269 (return) [ Waxen portrait.—Ver. 723. Waxen profiles seem to have been used by the Romans, as likenesses. They are evidently referred to in the Asinaria of Plautus, Aet iv. se. i. 1. 19, a passage which seems to have puzzled the Commentators. See the Epistle of Laodania, 1. 152, and the Note.]
1270 (return) [ Caphareus.—Ver. 735. Seethe Tristia, Book i. El. i. 1. 83, and the Note.]

1277 (return) [ Being acted.—Ver. 755. See the Tristia, Book il. 1. 519, and the Note.]
