I can't make sense of the references. The symbols don't match, but maybe what they meant is:

  • "For this the"  "Vid. Æneid, Lib VI. v. 890." ["Bella, horrida bella" occurs in Book VI of the Aeneid, line 87]
  • "Sprung"  "Æn. III. v. 458."
  • [on the next page] "Thus too..."  "See Æneid, Lib. I. v. 531."

But this would still not make sense (for one thing, Patroclus appears in the Iliad, not in the Aeneid). ~ DanielTom (talk) 19:02, 9 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
