10. 6. 48. Ncifendiales] It appears, if we are to believe the old commentators, to have been the practice to bury the ashes nine days after death. Therefore, Horace means to sav that the witch dug up the ashes of the dead immediately after their burial, while they were fix»h, and better suited on that account for magical ceremonies. The ashes of the poor are fixed upon, periiaps, because they were not watched as the rich man's were. * Kovendiales ' usually signi- fies * of nine days* continuanc...e,' but it cannot have that meaning here.
