Abstract
Translate Article 
In this note, the author scrutinises the text of Eleg. Maec. 1.19-20 under a new light, considering the possible presence of a so-called lectio falsa et emendata. This hypothesis will provide a cue for a new emendation to the passage and lead to a metapoetic reading of the distich.
