Abstract

A comparison with the final lines of Ovid’s narrative of the plague at Aegina (met. VII 608-613) offers elements in support of the transposition of De rerum natura VI 1247-1251 to the end of the book, first suggested by Bockemüller. At line VI 1249 leto should be read instead of Marullus’ in lectum.
