G. 6, note. Incuriosa suorum. So Ann. 2, 88: dum vetera extollimus, recentium incuriosi. Incuriosus is post-Augustan. Virtus vicit vitium. Alliteration, which is not unfrequent in T. as also homoeoteleuta, words ending with like sounds. Dr. Ignorantiam invidiam. In aperto. Literally, in the open field or way; hence, free from obstructions. Sal. But that sense would be inappropriate here. Easy.
