v. 8. _Tota corpore prostituit_. Some commentators think that this alludes
to such women as not only submit to prostitution, but are in every way
subservient to the lascivious caprices of depraved appetites. Vossius
inclines to such an interpretation.
C. cxii. v. 2. _Multus_. Some commentators read _moltus_ in an obscene
sense, _à molendo_. Vossius understands by _descendere in sese_ the same
act as is alluded to in C. lxxxviii., hence the force of the word _multus_,
meaning _cum feminâ_, which he jeeringly applies to Naso as though he would
ironically exclaim: _Et tu feminâ! tu solus es, aut sine feminâ_. He writes
the epigram thus:
_Multus homo est, Naso, neque secum multus homo qui_
_Descendit? Naso, multus es et pathicus?_
