Dear Hans, Servius: : Iustitia, quae Erigone fuit Servius Auctus (Danielis, Donatus, or - as they say in Dublin - whatever you are having yourself) filia Themides, (cum) inter homines versaretur, propter eorum scelera terras reliquit: quam ideovirginem dicunt, quod sit incorrupta iustitia. Philargyrius I: idest Iustitia fugiens malos hominum mores inter rusticos morata [est] in caelum abiisse fertur. Ideo Iustitia virgo dicta est, eo quod incorrupta est, vel Maria. Philargerius II: idest Iustitia vel Maria. REDIT idest post Eva Scholia Bernensia: Iustitia, inter rusticos morata, fugiens mores hominum malos, in caelum abisse fertur et nunc redisse. VIRGO, iustitia, quae REDIRE decreuit propter hominum conversiones, vel Terra, quae nunc frugifera, sicut et nunc, vel secundum nos Maria. IAM REDIT ET VIRGO idest incorrupta iustitia, quae fugiens malos hominum mores in caelum dicuntur abisse.
I've quoted them all - as you would expect - ala Thilo and/or Hagen. I have placed T&H's italics under Servius Auctus. Checked Verona with both T&H and Bashera editions - although I was almost certain the fourth was irretrievable - also checked Ihm's ed. of Medicea scholia (again a forlorn hope). Is there any recent work on that one?
