Syntactic/Grammatical Info
Context Marcus has narrowly lost out to Fronto in the game of who loves whom most.
Comments VdH: 'good spirits / zeal' rather than 'devotion' (Haines). Given the context and the marginalia stating 'delectatione' it seems 'devotion' is appropriate. TLL offers only Plautus Stich 633, 659. Good candidate for c-s.
