A Further Note on Trimalchio's Zodiac Dish
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
Much else was done by Rose and Sullivan in their possibly conclusive attempt to restore sense to the rebus passage, but the reading super scorpionem locustam was Gaselee's, as Rose and Sullivan clearly acknowledge. This seems unluckily to have escaped B. Baldwin, otherwise he would have noticed that Gaselee also fancied in his correction an allusion to the poisoner Locusta. For those who may have difficulty in obtaining Gaselee's collotype reproduction, I quote the relevant part: ‘But what have lobsters to do with poisoners? Is it permissible to see a more or less open reference to Locusta, the queen of all poisoners? If so, we have here another little piece of evidence which will help us to date the Satyricon.’

page 149 note 1 I am most grateful to Dr. J. Raasted, Mr. I. Boserup, Mr. F. Saaby Pedersen, and Mr. A. Bülow-Jacobsen, who all read an early draft, and to Dr. J. A. Richmond and Mr. E. J. Kenney, who read a somewhat revised version. All six contributed many suggestions and useful criticisms; they have also caused me to remove not a few obscuri-ties. My wife has contributed by advising on points of English style.
