Abstract
This article aims to corroborate Passerat’s emendation infelicium [n]avium to Apul. Met. 3.17.4 by means of a threefold enquiry: firstly, the stylistic and linguistic features of the reading will be explored; secondly, attention will be paid to reconstructing the widespread implementation of birds in goetic practices; thirdly, a palaeographical explanation of the corruption will be proposed by reviewing analogous dittographies of nasal consonants in contiguous words which occur in the Laurentianus Plut. 68.02 (F), the most authoritative MS. preserving the text of the Metamorphoses.
