lable a diphthong, as in the original Greek;
which is the only way to render that syllable longs
since the Latin V, belonging to a subsequent
syllable, has not the power to lengthen a preceding
short vowel, as we see in Gravis, Levis, Nivis,
Novus, Jiivenis. -- See further remarks on this

Professor, in his note, shows a disposition to be-
lieve that Virgil originally wrote malis tantte, it
may be well to observe the similarity of expression

cipation, to the same events which the poet here has
in view, viz.

form, as it were, a single syllable by synceresis, as
Stellio et, in Georg. 4, 243, and Consilium et

be sounded as J or Y [jet, or yet] in order to ren-
