[924, 925] Oras, the lower border. ‘Recludit:’ 10. 601, “pectus mucrone recludit.” ‘Extremos orbis’ the edge of the circles, just under the rim, where the shield would be weakest: ἄντυγ᾽ ὕπο πρώτην, ᾗ λεπτότατος θέε χαλκός Il. 20. 275. ‘Septemplex,’ an ἅπαξ λεγόμενον in Virg., but used by Ovid (see Forc.). Wagn. is right in stopping full after ‘orbis.’
