In Relation to Boyd

• Use of “pregnancy” as a description/metaphor with “true belief”
• “Langia” takes the place of Boyd’s “Argia”
• “Tiresias” and her daughter “Thetis” replace Boyd’s “Hypsipyle and Manto”
• “Burning horn” makes the pole/post appear more magnificent, but also potentially as more dangerous/of a threat
• The voice of the tree appears to be coming from the leaves
• The tree explicitly states that death awaits those who choose to eat from its fruits

In Relation to Langdon

• “Drieth its green leaves” –in reference to the faults of sin

In Relation to Arndt

• Dante refers to the mark on his face as a “wound”, implying a deeper cleanse
• The word “thirst” is italicized, but there is no mention of “sitiunt”
• “The appetite of mortal men” -Although Statius is still included with this grouping, it is not as direct
• Statius names those he requests information about in a different order and refers to “Varro” rather than “Varius”; Terence is spelled with one “r”
• “As by the gospel is revealed to you” –reference to the gospel and assumed understanding of it, but the knowledge is not implied to be as in-depth as in Arndt’s translation
