Adversus solum conspirant arma duorum.    SSSSDS 
Primus maligeram collectis viribus hastam  Maligeram: a very disputed hapax legomenon. Since the first a here is long, it should be equivalent to maliferam, (“apple-bearing,” an adjective found in Virgil) serving to figuratively describe the wood from which the hastam is made; the manuscript variant maligenam would make this easier. Perhaps more likely is that the poet, disregarding vowel-length, coined the word to mean “bearing evil.”

 

 Aeneid 9.52-53: iaculum attorquens emittit in auras,/ principium pugnae. ‘Whirling a javelin, he sends it skyward to start the battle.’ Georgics 3.235: ubi collectum robur viresque refectae. . . ‘When his power is mustered and his strength renewed. . .’

At illa volans clipeo est excussa proculque/ egregium Antoren latus inter et ilia figit. ‘He threw from far his whistling spear; as it flew, it glanced from the shield, and pierces noble Antores nearby between side and flank.’ 9.746: portaeque infigitur hasta. ‘The spear lodges in the gate.’
