Peucinorum Vene dorumque et Fennorum nationes Germanis an Sarmatis ascribam, dubito: quanquam Peucini, quos quidam Bastarnas vocant, sermone, cultu, sede ac domiciliis, ut Germani, agunt.

Ex moribus, sc. Sarmatarum. Erigitur. Middle sense. Raise themselves, or rise, cf. evolvuntur, 39. Figunt. Have fixed habitations, in contrast with the Sarmatians, who lived in carts. Cf. Ann. 13, 54: fixerant domos Frisii. Al. fingunt. Sarmatis. The stock of the modern Russians, cf. 1. note. Cubile. We should expect cubili to correspond with victui and vestituti.
