To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The lines (899), quem (Aenean) nisi servasset magnarum rector aquarum ut profugus laetis Troiam repararet in arvis, augustumque genus claris submitteret astris, non carae gentis nobis mansisset origo, Unless the ruler of the mighty deep had preserved Aeneas to found in exile a new Troy in happier fields, and beget a line of princes to shine among the stars, the stock of the race we love would not have endured to bless us.
can only have been written under the Julian Dynasty.
The work is clearly
...post-Ovidian and must therefore be attributed to theprincipates of Tiberius, Gaius, Claudius, or Nero. Further evidence ofdate is entirely wanting. No meaning can be attached to the headingPindarus found in certain MSS. [400] There is, however, an interestingthough scarcely more fruitful problem presented by the possibleexistence of two acrostics in the course of the poem. [401] The initialletters of the first nine lines spell the name 'Italices', while thelast eight lines yield the word 'scqipsit'.
