[43] “Ne eum ignaviae videatur arguere, admonet eum casuum: ut supra ‘atque omnis metuentem expendere casus.’” Serv. ‘Res bello varias,’ fortune shifting in or through war: a refinement for “res belli varias,” which is found in one copy. Priam speaks more plainly to Hector, Il. 22. 39, ἵνα μὴ τάχα πότμον ἐπίσπῃς, Πηλείωνι δᾳμείς: ἐπειὴ πολὺ φέρτερός ἐστιν. ‘Miserere parentis,’ &c., an adaptation of another passage in the same speech (v. 59), Πρὸς δ᾽ ἐμὲ τὸν δύστηνον ἔτι φρονέοντ᾽ ἐλέησον, Δύσμορον &c.
