118 THE CORPUS, EPINAL, ERFURT AND LEYDEN GLOSSARIES
items are unlikely for EE i. This may
however be an Abstrusa item culled
from a Virgil scholium, kindred to that in the Brevis Expositio (Servius,
ed. Thilo and Hagen, vol. iii) which explains the oscilla as 'laqueos
pensiles.'
Ostriger: bruunbesu (Ep. 17 A 33; C. G. L. v 376, 35; Corp. 279).
By the same reasoning this cannot come from the marginalia in the
English (0 MS. of Virgil used for EE ii, Erf.^, etc., but (if it be ultimately
of Virgilian origin) must be rather an Abstrusa item culled from a scholium
on Geo. 1, 207 (ostriferi fauces temptantur Abydi) such as that in the
Brevis Expositio, Ostriferi : conchulae sunt, unde fit purpura.
And in Corpus alone :
(0 24) : Obryzum smaetogold. Perhaps from Job 28, 15 non dabitur
aurum obryzum pro eo. Or from Aldhelm, who often uses the word.
(O 221) Oppilatae : bisparrade. Perhaps from 2 Esdr. 7, 3 clausae portae
sunt et oppilatae.
(0 255) Orion: eburdring. Leid. (§ 27, 25; § 19, 17) permits us to
refer this either to Isidore Nat. Rer. 26, 8 (Orion stella est) or Job 9, 9
(qui facit Arcturum et Oriona).
Petigo : tetr (Ep. 19 A 2 ; C. G. L. v 380, 14 ; Corp. P 244). Comes,
according to Leid. (§ 35, 74), from Rufinus (9, 8, 1 ignis sacer).
item too, Puncto :
The next
foramine :...id est cosp (Corp. P 865), comes from Ruf 5,
1, 27 septimo, ut dicunt, puncto in nervo pedes distenti.
Ptisanas (ferente): berecorn beraendae (Ep. 19 E 15; C. G. L. v 381,
45 ; Corp. P 841). From Proverb. 27, 22 si contuderis stultum in pila, quasi
ptisanas /enen^e desuper pilo, non auferetur ab eo stultitia ejus.
Peducla : luus, Pulex : fleah (Ep. 20 A 22-23 ; C. G. L. v 382, 32-33 ;
Corp. P 312 and 871). Perhaps a Herm. pair, stragglers from the preceding
batch.
Papilio: buturfliogae, Pella: sadulfelgae, Pahurus: sinfullae (Ep. 20
A 27-29; C. G. L. v 382, 37-39; Corp. P 129; 315; 130). Perhaps a
Herm. trio.
And in Corpus alone :
Pandis :
Perhaps from Virgil Geo. 2, 194 lancibus et
(P 85) geapum.
pandis fumantia reddimus exta.
(P 188) Parthica: reodnaesc. Napier (Old English Glosses, no. 5324)
refers to Exod. 26, 14 facias et operimentum aliud tecto de pellibus arietum
rubricatis.
(P 408) Pistrinum :
cofa. Perhaps from Jerome's preface
cum me in linguae hujus pistrinum reclusissem.
to Daniel :
(P 417) 'Pilentes': bere. Perhaps from Virgil Aen. 8, 666 pilentis
matres in mollibus.
