Why is this the first poem in the Sulpician collection? It may give the beginning of the story: Sulpicia has met someone with who she has fallen in love. But the arrangement of poems in a collection need not have anything to do with any story-lines that run through them; Catullus 11, the end of the Lesbia affair, comes before 51, the beginning. Kirby Flower Smith, in his commentary on the Tibullan corpus, speculates that this poem chronologically follows 4: Sulpicia and Cerinthus quarrel, he protests that he really does love her, and she, convinced, writes this poem.
venit: Present or perfect? How do you know?

Cytherea: Venus has this name because she was born on the island of Cythera.
Camenis: The Camenae were Italian godde
