Juvenal VI.

Madvig's transposition of Juv. vi. 307, 308 is confirmed not only by three MSS. cited in Jahn's critical note, but also by an early MS. in the Library of Shrewsbury School.

The lines stand in most MSS.

I nune et dubita, qua sorbeat aera sanna
Tullia quid dicat note collectea Mauræ,
Maura Pudicitæ veterem quum præterit aram.

By transposing the last two lines Madvig (Opusc. ii. p. 196 seq after Achaintre and Ruperti) has restored the sense.
