=130. SOLLICITO QVAS DAMVS ORE PRECES.= For the general wording compare _Tr_ III viii 20 'tum quoque _sollicita mente rogandus_ erit' and _EP_ III i 148 'nil nisi _sollicitae_ sint tua uerba _preces_': for _sollicito ... ore_ compare _sollicita uoce_ at _Met_ X 639 & XIV 706.
=131. PERVENIANT ISTVC.= Compare _EP_ II ii 95 'si tamen haec audis et uox mea _peruenit istuc_ [=_Romam_]'.
=131-32. CARMINA ... QVAE DE TE MISI CAELITE FACTA NOVO.= Ovid also mentions his poems on Augustus' apotheosis at vi 17-18, viii 63-64 & xiii 25-26.
=133-34. NEC TV / IMMERITO NOMEN MITE PARENTIS HABES.= 'Et ce n'est pas sans raison que tu portes le doux nom de Père' (André) must be correct as against Wheeler's 'for not undeservedly hast thou the gracious name of "Father"', since _nec_, although it can mean _et ... non_ or _sed ... non_, cannot mean _nam ... non_; the proof of this is the frequent occurrence of _neque enim_.
The litotes _non (haud, nec) immerito_ is common enough in Latin: see the many examples at _TLL_ VII.1 457 26 ff. But in the four instances given of _nec immerito_, it never serves to introduce a new phrase as here. At Plautus _St_ 28 'decet _neque_ id _immerito_ eueniet' it introduces a second verb which amplifies the preceding one, while it modifies preceding verbs at Ter _Ad_ 615 'tanta nunc suspicio de me incidit _neque_ ea immerito', Val Max IV vii 1 'inimicus patriae fuisse Ti. Gracchus existimatus est, _nec immerito_, quia potentiam suam saluti eius praetulerat', and Quintilian X i 104 'habet amatores--_nec immerito_--Cremuti libertas'. One would expect a clause of causation to follow _auguror his igitur flecti tua numina_, and I think it possible that Ovid wrote NAM TV / E MERITO (Professor C. P. Jones suggests EX MERITO). Both the corruption from _e merito_ and the subsequent interpolation of _nec_ would be easy enough. For _e(x) merito_, compare vii 16 'contigit _ex merito_ qui tibi nuper honor'.
=133. NEC TV.= The elegiac poets admitted a monosyllabic ending to the hexameter if it was preceded by another monosyllable closely linked to it in sense: see Platnauer 13. For true monosyllabic endings, see at ii 47 _Aonius fons_.
=134. NOMEN MITE PARENTIS= = _nomen parentis, quod significat te mitem esse_. At _Tr_ I i 73 and _EP_ II viii 51 members of the imperial family are called _mitissima numina_. There is another instance of hypallage with _nomen mite_ (a different sense of _mitis_ being used) at _Fast_ V 64 '_nomen_ et aetatis _mite_ [_codd_: rite _Riese_] senatus erat', 'the very name of senate signified a ripe old age' (Frazer).
