The Ruskin Library Transcript T7B reads ‘Antonio’, but ‘Antenor’ seems certain from manuscript and context. Antenor was a Trojan hero, the Paduan (and Venetian) equivalent of Aeneas as founder of Rome. The discovery of his body and the building of his tomb was an important assertion of the legitimacy of Paduan power. See Works, 36.576 [n/a].
