[436] Adeo refers to ‘ut,’ though Serv. and Forb. take it as modifying ‘non.’ Victory is said to attend on the hands of a combatant, as in Ov. Trist. 2. 170 on the standard of a general, or in Juv. 8. 63 to sit on the yoke of a winning horse. The conception of the goddess with wings makes such expressions natural. ‘Fugit,’ in times past. It matters little whether ‘manus’ be taken with ‘exosa’ or with ‘fugit.’
