You are not alone in finding this incomprehensible. I've checked our library's copy of the Thilo-Hagen edition of Servius, and it may offer some help, though you'll need to work on the details yourself since we don't have the necessary resources here. The first thing to note is that the Dutch scholar Peerlkamp suggested emending "inuictis" to "inductis" and discussed this in an article for which Thilo-Hagen gives the reference "Mnemos. X, p. 121f." Mnemosyne has been through several series in its long and distinguished lifetime, but I would guess this to be the first or second (our holdings do not go back nearly far enough). Thilo-Hagen, however, counter this with a reference to "Burmann's annotation," which I would assume to be a note on Georgics 1.113 in an edition produced by him, again not available here. James L. P.
