Cinque poesie petroniane (<i>Sat.</i> 82.5, 83.10, 108.14, 126.18, 132.15)

Abstract

Textual criticism of 82.5 must take into account Petronius’ model, i.e. Hor. Sat. 1.1.68-99; 83.10 draws on Hor. c. 1.1; 108.13-14 is parodic; 126.18 should probably be ascribed to the narrator (Encolpius), and the passage may be affected by a lacuna. Further notes on 132.15, discussed in a previous article.
