This note adduces corroborating evidence for Skutsch's ascription of Enn. Ann . 5 to a description of the water cycle in the speech of Homer in the proem to the Annales . Despite the flawed argumentation in Skutsch's presentation and despite a general reluctance among scholars to endorse his ascription, this note argues that his solution should remain part of the scholarly discussion, not least because there are aspects of Skutsch's argument that remain uncontested and because Lucretius seems to endorse this location of the fragment in the original Annales
