O Florious Dame!

Ovid, Fasti. With an English Translation by James George Frazer. Revised by G.P. Goold, 2nd edition reprinted with corrections (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1996 = Loeb Classical Library, 253), pp. 382-383 (Fasti 6.810):
o decus, o sacra femina digna domo!

O florious dame! O lady worthy of that sacred house!
Read glorious instead of florious. The mistake persists in the Digital Loeb Classical Library. The original 1931 edition has the correct reading (glorious).
