A couple weeks ago Edwin Duval sent me a list of corrections, detailed below, to the searchable text of Virgil at http://virgil.org/texts. I have adopted all his corrections, including "Uana" for "Pana," and regularized all occurrences of sepulch* to sepulcr*, following Mynors' practice in the OCT. 

Thank you, Ned. I don't have the skills of a proper editor, so I'm going to leave Greenough's readings unless they are absolutely monstrous. But if anyone finds more scannos, please reply here or email them to me privately.


A  4.432   nec pulcro [pulchro] ut Latio careat regnumque relinquat:

A  6.873   campus aget gemitus, uel quae, liberine [Tiberine], uidebis

A  7. 74   atque omnem omatum [ornatum] flamma crepitante cremari

A 7. 63      Laurentisque ab ea nomen poslflsse [posuisse] colonis

A  7.105   Ausonias tulcrat [tulerat], cum Laomedontia pubes

A  7.304   securi pelagi atque ulei [mei]. Mars perdere gentem

A  8.318   sed rami atque asper uictu uenlatus [uenatus] alebat.

A 8.528     anna [arma] inter nubem caeli regione serena 

A  9. 11   Lydorumque mallum [manum] collectos armat agrestis.

A 9.219      Ille autem: 'Causas nequiqnam [nequiquam] nectis inanis, 

A  9.324   Sic memorat uocemque prenlit [premit]; simul ense superbum

A 11.875   quadrupedumque putrem cursu quatit ungula eampum [campum].

A 12. 24     sunt aliae innuptae Latio et Laurentiblls [Laurentibus] aruis,

A 12. 91   fecerat et Stygta [Stygia] candientem [candentem] tinxerat unda.

A 12.879   Quo uitam dedit aeternam? Cur mortis ademptast

A  9.577   strinxerat: ille mallum [manum] proiecto tegmine demens


                There is also this :

A 6.284     Pana [Vana] tenere ferunt, foliisque sub omnibus haerent.

        But this seems to be an error in the Greenough text.  Perhaps it should be corrected anyway?

Perhaps the same for "sepulcr*" (2.646 and 6.232), which coexists with "sepulchr*" (passim)?
