John Conington, Commentary on Vergil's Aeneid, Volume 2, P. VERGILI MARONIS, line 9 (search)
Et: besides all the Latin forces,
they send for foreign aid. Venulus is a
Tiburtine (11. 742, 757), and as Tibur,
according to the legends, was an Argive
colony, he is a proper ambassador to
Diomede. The city of Diomede was
Argyripa (afterwards Arpi) in Apulia;
and the legend that Diomede had founded
it after the Trojan war very likely arose
from the similarity of the name Argyripa to
Argos. Magna Diomedis ab urbe 11. 226,
where there is another reading magni.
