Excerpt: ... NOTES TO SATIRE II 1. Ultra Sauromatas. "To the ends of the earth." The Sarmatae occupied the vast region between the Vistula and the Don. The Greek form Savpo/iarcu is adopted because the Latin Sarmatae cannot stand in the verse. 1. 2. glacialem Oceanum. Tac. G. 45, Trans Suionas aliud mare pigrum ac prope immotum; and Lucan i. 18, Scythieo glacialem frigore pontum. 2. audent. Scil. loqui, or muttire. 3. Cic. ii. Fin. xxviii. 90, Sed qui ad voluptatem omnia refer ens, vivit ut Gallonius, loquitur ut Frugi ille Piso, non audio; nee enim eum quod sentiat dicere existimo. See also Mart. i. 97; ix. 28. Curios.
