Boethius: use of "penitus"

[Callaina]

Just a quick question regarding a passage from the Consolatio (IV, prose 1).

1 Haec cum philosophia dignitate uultus et oris grauitate seruata leniter suauiterque cecinisset, tum ego nondum penitus insiti maeroris oblitus intentionem dicere adhuc aliquid parantis abrupi et:

The translation I'm using (Loeb) renders the bolded phrase, "then I, not yet having completely forgotten my inward grief..."

I'm wondering whether penitus might modify insiti rather than nondum: "then I, not yet having forgotten the grief deeply seated within [me],..."

Thoughts?

I think theirs is embellishing. You're well correct by my book.

Of course, we must not dismiss the possibility that the word is rather pēnītus.

I first read it like the Loeb translator, but on second thought I'd say your interpretation seems likely, though it remains a bit ambiguous.

 

[Callaina]

LOL.

Edit: to @Hemo Rusticus

It would make more sense with the narrative model that my thesis is using. The other interpretation wouldn't be disastrous, but mine would be better for my argument at this point.

I'd put my money on yours.

Excellent! Thanks.

The florid style of that medieval berk corroborates yours, I'd also say.
