Lat. parallels: (Dist. I, 37) Servorum culpis cum te dolor urguet in iram, / ipse tibi moderare, tuis ut parcere possis ‘When the vexation of servants’ faults pushes you to anger, control yourself, so that you may spare your own’. The topic is also dealt with in Sól 26, albeit without the hint of social differences. From this point onwards, the ordering and preservation of the sts in 1199ˣ, 624 and eds of Hsv, departs. The present edn follows 1199ˣ for the most part, but is modified slightly on the basis of the order in 624 where that ms. follows the order of the Lat. more closely.
