Abstract

The article argues for an emendation in Plin. HN 9.126. Modern editors are accustomed to print the text cum testa uiuas , adopting J. Hardouin's conjecture for cum terra uitis , the reading transmitted in most manuscripts. Nevertheless, the overlooked manuscript reading contritis conchis allows us to deduce a palaeographically neater solution contritis if conchis is considered a gloss which entered the text.
