[11] Manli: the reading of V mali can readily stand for manli, as Catul. 61.16 “mallio” , and 61.222 “maulio” sufficiently show; and very tempting is the conjecture of Muretus that the happy bridegroom of Catul. 61.1ff. is now the grief-stricken widower of 68a who turns to his friend for comfort in his sorrow as he had for congratulation in his joy. Yet both Malius and Mallius are nomina supported by inscriptions of this age.
