Comentario

Dactylic verses, but it is impossible to ascertain whether they are a series of hexameters or elegiac distichs. Epitaph on the theme of hunting and work in the fields. L. 1. verbis inspice qui transis… is an appeal to the passer-by, perhaps so that he can read a possible acrostic, cf. CLE 511,10; CLE 108,10-12; vid. Martín Camacho 2008, 186-187, 189-190. L. 2 refers to his liking for hunting, cf. CIL II,2335, 3; or Cic. off. 1,108, 2; Ov. met. 3,413. L. 3. lucorum cultor interpreted as farmer (cf. Piernavieja, Cugusi and Hérnandez Pérez based on Verg. georg. 1,14 and Ov. fast. 5,499) but, given the previous line, lucus could refer to a wood consecrated to Diana, cf. CLE 256, according to Bücheler, regionem Dianae sacratam, where the author, silvarum cultor, offers trophies to a temple of Diana; in addition, in Hispania there is a lucus consecrated to Diana with an epigraph dedicated to her in Segobriga, Hübner II,5874; and lastly in CIL II,2660 there is a reference to another temple dedicated to the same goddess and its reverse side begins with: aequora conclusit campi divisque dicavit / et templum statuit tibi, Delia Virgo Triformis: that is, a sacred grove, where the author used to hunt (cf. l. 4. iungere qui vallis: this may be the action of joining and fencing off plots of land). To the interest in hunting l. 5 adds the work of cultivating the land.
