Meaning

The swift flames of Sun and Moon appear at LX.6 in the Charites hymn. The speed belongs to the flames in the printed construction, rather than to the Charites as a supplied grammatical subject. The apparatus's discussion of transferred verses concerns placement; this remains an occurrence in the adopted Charites text.
