ABSTRACT
In 1905 Housman (CR 19, 260f. = CP) rejected out of hand exspectat in the sense of moratur, terit tempus (Servius as loc.). He proposed instead Hesperiam and was careful in trying to make it sound palaeographically probable. In this he has evidently failed to convince. Most editors of the 20th century have taken no notice of his article: e.g. Janell (1920), Goelzer (1925), Mynors (1969), Perret (1977). Exceptions are the edition of Sabbadini–Castiglioni (1944) and that of their successor Geymonat (1973) in so far as Housman is at least mentioned in their apparatus criticus.
