XIII

Longa feror velox formosae filia silvae,
Innumera pariter comitum stipante caterva,
Curro vias multas, vestigia nulla relinquens.

Peck:

Child of the forest, swift and full of grace
And countless comrades move with equal pace;
O'er many roads I pass, nor leave behind a trace.

Ohl:

Long, swift daughter of the beauteous forest am I borne along, with innumerable throng of companions equally encompassed; I speed over many paths, leaving not a trace behind.

2 sic B; Innumeras A; Innumeris . . . stipata catervis D — stipe facta caverna Baehr.

3 multa a1d — Hoc aenig. extat in Hist. Apoll. c42, ubi 2 = B (sed stipata)

The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
