I looked at Thilo and Hagen, which you have probably done already, and couldn't find anything useful (odd). Although he appears to have been woefully neglected, it might be worth looking at T. Claudius Donatus. I have the miniatures from the Vatican Vergil at hand and there is no sign of Amata.

Seems a peculiarly feminist topic, although Tacitus certainly uses it to refer to the madness of soldiers fairly frequently (Hist. 1,63, 1.81, 2.46 and 4.27, as well as Annals 1.49. It is used for women in Annals 14.32, where he describes the causes of the Boudican revolt in Britain. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
