Abstract
Abstract:In this study, we re-apprise Bockemüller’s largely ignored textual emendation of the unattested and likely corrupted baratre of DRN 3.955 to barathrum. Here we also attempt to supply internal and external evidence for Bockemüller’s correction of the strange vocative noun since that information remains wanting. In short, barathrum is shown to be a viable improvement since it coheres with theme and usage internal to the poem and is defensible externally when compared to similar vocative constructions and terms of abuse.
