In accordance with contemporary practice, Gronovius selectively corrected a printed textus receptus. Gronovius's corrections are usually of great value and many of them promote readings that are still considered correct today. Regarding his sources, this article compares what Gronovius says in the commentary with his hitherto unstudied documents, in particular his collations, which are preserved in Leiden.

Such men often negotiated this challenge by associating themselves with paternal surrogates who had no familial connection to them. The rhetorical strategies used by Statius (Silv. 5.2, an encomium to the fatherless Crispinus) and by Pliny the Younger in his Letters to assert the legitimacy of the political aspirations of the fatherless are explored. Anthropological studies of shared parenthood and fosterage in West African states provide valuable parallels." |

Statius's construction of his poetic identity is thus a mixture of the archaic and the contemporary. The historically different experiences of Greek literature are integrated into the ecumenical frame of the Roman empire, and almost into an ecumenical poetics," (from LAPH). |

Munera 27 (Bari: Edipuglia, 2007): 83-94 • Review: Paschoud, AntTard 15 (2007): 357-62• An expression inHist. Aug. Claud. 10.3 recallsTheb. 4.751-52, suggesting an imperial propaganda intended to show Constantine's apotheosis. |
| Brugnoli, G., "Longaevus parens," AFLL 2 (1964-65): 71-78 • Silv. 4.1.38 makes an allusion to a temple of the gens Flavia, the ara of the magnus parens, and longaevus Vespasian. |

| Brugnoli, G., "Stazio in Dante," Cultura Neolatina 29 (1969): 117-25 • The implied Christianity of Statius is an invention of Dante, but he does serve as a link, in purgatory, between Virgil, who has departed, and Beatrice. |
| Brugnoli, G., "Silio, Stazio, Ausonio e Foca Carm. de Verg. 38-39," Giornale italiano di filologia: Rivista trimestrale di cultura 40 (1988): 237-40 • Silius 8.209 could have come from Catullus 68.8 because of the way Statius read it. Silv. 3.5.1-2 contaminates the texts of Silius and Catullus. An echo of this is found in Focas, through Ausonius, Epic. In patr. 29-30, which comes directly from Statius. |

| Buchheit, V., "Lucans Pharsalia und die Frage der Nichtvollendung," Rheinisches Museum für Philologie 104 (1961): 362-365 • In Silv. 2.7, Statius pays witness to the incomplete nature of the Pharsalia, proving the thesis of H. Haffter (1957). |
| Budaragina, Olga, "Claudian's inamoenus uterque alveus and Its Sources," Hyperboreus 9.1 (2003): 135-39 • Claudian uses the adjective inamoenus in his description of the rivers of the Underworld (In Rufinum 5.466 ff.). This adjective is used only three times before: twice in Statius and once in Ovid, and always refers to the Underworld. |

Press, 1951): 693-706 • T. and S. have a shared conception of destiny. According to them, it's a vengeance that the gods uxercise against men and which can, by the fault of certain people, hurt an entire people. |

In the Thebaid, the impietas of actions and plans of the gods is the focus. Pietas is often unrewarded. |
| Burgess, J.F., "Statius' Altar of Mercy," Classical Quarterly 22 (1972): 339-349 • Emphasis on clementia in Th.12 results from the contemporary political situation. While the poem deals with man as tragic victim, the Ara Clementiae is a source of consolation. In contrast to traditional usage, clementia is not defined as the perogative of an injured party, but can be offered by a disinterested third person. |

| Busch, Austin, "Pederasty and Flavian Family Values in Statius, Silvae 2.1," The Classical World 107 (2013-2014) 63-97 • Statius represents Melior's relationship with the boy Glaucias as both paternal and erotic. Statius subtly likens their relationship to the treatment of slave boys that Domitianic moral legislation rendered illicit. Silvae 2 in fact contains a number of consolatory poems that raise questions about the treatment of slaves. |
