ABSTRACT
Tarrant ad loc. understands referens as 'taking back inside', i.e. back to the city and divos as the 'physical objects' of 'images of gods' being part of the ritual "pulsatos would then have a double meaning, 'beaten, knocked about' and 'rejected, driven off'". He rejects the interpretation given by many that referre could mean 'report', 'recall' (OLD s.v. 5) as unfit for the context, while it is not clear 'to whom Latinus would be speaking'.
