II, 231 which the Bessi nor the Getic hands were able to strike down i.e., neither the Bessi nor the Getic (hands) etc.; III, 10 the Percosian wife (was giving) the first garments which she was giving and Clite had variegated with pictured gold; V, 58 let not an urn cover (bones) either in a tomb or apart; 68 to this one all honor, to this one alone all love passes. servare is the same as observare (to watch/observe), as in IV, 488, 640; Vergil, Eclogues III, 75; Georgics I, 205; Aeneid VI, 338 etc.

Kynosoura is the lesser bear, which the Phoenicians observed in sailing, Helice is the greater bear observed by the Greeks; concerning this matter cf.
