supported by the language of the poem, and this elegy may
therefore be confidently regarded as the earliest extant work
of Ovid, written in his seventeenth year ; in fact, in a brief
monograph and admirable commentary which was published
some years ago, but has just come into my hands at the
moment of writing (De Ovidio elegiac in
Messallam

Budapest, 1909), Nemethy, I find, has already clearly per-
