PREFACE.


It is hoped that this series of short stories from A. Gellius may serve
as a pleasant change to young boys after a course of Cornelius Nepos,
Eutropius, etc. The language of the original has been simplified in
parts, and some rare or late words and constructions cut out. The Notes
have been made, with few exceptions, as short as possible; a few more
lengthy digressions, such as those upon the ablative absolute and the
gerundial constructions, will need no apology, if they succeed in
leading boys to think out for themselves the difficulties which these
constructions present. Some simple Exercises have been added at the
request of the Publishers, and for these an English-Latin Vocabulary has
been compiled. In this Vocabulary the words are arranged in alphabetical
order, since the Exercises are intended principally for _viva voce_
drill in form, and the Editor's experience does not confirm the theory
of some Editors, that a boy's knowledge of a language is increased in
proportion to the time that he spends in hunting for words that he does
not know; he considers that the "paragraph" vocabulary makes the lazy
boy take refuge in guessing, whilst it wastes the time of the
industrious boy.

The Editor acknowledges his obligations to the Latin Grammars of Dr.
Kennedy and Mr. Roby, and to Dr. Smith's Dictionaries of Biography and
Antiquities, and to similar works which lie at every schoolmaster's
elbow.

I

AULUS GELLIUS.


Nothing is known about the life of A. Gellius beyond what can be
gathered from occasional hints in his own writings; it has even been
disputed whether his name was Agellius or A. Gellius. Probably he was a
Roman by birth, of good family and connections. He seems to have spent
his early years at Rome, studying under the celebrated teachers,
Sulpicius Apollinaris, T. Castricius, and Antonius Julianus (cf.
xxxiv. 1): to have continued his studies at Athens, where he lived on
terms of familiarity with Herodes Atticus, Calvisius Taurus, Peregrinus
Proteus, and other famous philosophers of that day: and after the lapse
of many years to have returned to Rome, and devoted the remaining years
of his life to literary pursuits and the society of a large circle of
friends. The dates of his birth and death are unknown, but from the
names of his teachers and friends it is certain that he lived during the
reigns of Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius, 117-180 A.D.

The only work of A. Gellius that has reached us, possibly the only one
that he wrote, is the "Noctes Atticae," so called because it was begun
during the long nights of winter in a country house in Attica
(_longinquis per hiemen noctibus in agro terrae Atticae_). It consists
of numerous extracts from Greek and Roman writers on subjects connected
with history, philosophy, philology, and antiquities, illustrated by
abundant criticisms and discussions. These extracts are thrown together
without any attempt at order or arrangement, and divided into twenty
books. He had been accustomed whilst reading, he says, to make notes
upon anything which struck him as worth remembering. These notes he
embodied with little change in his work, in the same haphazard order in
which they had been made (_usi autem sumus ordine rerum fortuito quem
antea in excerpendo feceramus_).

Naturally the various parts of such a 'Miscellany' vary greatly in
quality. Some portions of it are highly valuable and interesting. For
instance, many quotations are preserved from ancient authors whose works
have perished, some of which throw light upon questions of
constitutional and antiquarian interest, which would otherwise have
remained obscure; many literary and historical anecdotes are given which
are valuable in themselves; and some important grammatical usages and
theories are noted. But the author's appetite was omnivorous. He is as
eager to tell the story of a marvellous African serpent, 120 feet in
length, whose destruction required the utmost efforts of a whole Roman
army, with their _ballistae_ and _catapultae_ (_magna totius exercitus
conflictione, ballistis atque catapultis diu oppugnatum._ --_N. A._
vii. 3), or to discuss some absurd etymology, such as that of _avarus_
from _avidus aeris_, as to preserve some really valuable detail of
senatorial procedure, or record the use and origin of obscure
constitutional phrases. His own criticisms, moreover, are as a rule
worthless, and his translations are feeble; but in spite of all these
defects his work is exceedingly interesting, and we could ill afford to
lose it.

His Latin style shows the defects of his age, an age in which the Romans
had ceased to feel the full meaning of the words which they used, and
endeavoured to gain emphasis by employing obscure phrases and unnatural
turns of expression. But these peculiarities are even more noticeable in
the writings of his contemporaries.





STORIES FROM AULUS GELLIUS.


I. VERGIL AND HIS POEMS.

  _Vergil, who spent much labour in polishing his verses, used to
  compare himself to a bear, which licks its cubs into shape._

Dicebat P. Vergilius, ut amici eius familiaresque ferunt, se parere
versus more ursino. "Namque ut illa bestia" inquit, "fetum edit informem
lambendoque postea conformat et fingit, sic ingenii quoque mei partus
primum rudes et inperfecti sunt, sed tractando corrigendoque reddo iis
oris et vultus liniamenta." {6}


II. MENANDER AND PHILEMON.

  _The poet Menander, meeting his successful rival Philemon, asked
  him if he did not feel ashamed to defeat him._

Menander a Philemone, nequaquam pari scriptore, in certaminibus
comoediarum ambitu gratiâque saepenumero vincebatur. Ei forte obviam
factus est Menander, et "Quaeso" inquit, "Philemo, bonâ veniâ dic mihi,
cum me vincis, nonne erubescis?" {5}


III. THE PALM TREE.

  _The palm has been made the emblem of victory, because its wood
  does not yield, when heavy weights are placed upon it._

Rem hercle mirandam Aristoteles et Plutarchus dicunt. "Si super palmae
arboris lignum" inquiunt "magna pondera imponis, non deorsum palma cedit
nec intra flectitur, sed adversus pondus resurgit et sursum recurvatur;
propterea in certaminibus palma signum victoriae facta est, quoniam
urgentibus opprimentibusque non cedit." {7}


IV. SOCRATES AND HIS WIFE.

  _Socrates, when asked why he endured his quarrelsome wife, replied
  that to bear her temper was good discipline._

Xanthippe, Socratis philosophi uxor, admodum morosa et litigiosa fuisse
fertur, irisque muliebribus per diem perque noctem scatebat. Quam rem in
maritum Socraten Alcibiades demiratus, "Cur mulierem" inquit "tam
acerbam domo non exigis?" "Quoniam," respondit Socrates, "cum illam domi
talem perpetior, insuesco et exerceor, ut ceterorum quoque foris
petulantiam et iniuriam facilius feram." {8}


V. THE SELF-DISCIPLINE OF SOCRATES.

  _Socrates used to train himself to bear fatigue by standing
  motionless for twenty-four hours at a time. His health was always
  perfect._

Inter labores voluntarios corporis firmandi causâ id quoque accepimus
Socraten facere insuevisse: stabat per diem perque noctem a lucis ortu
ad solem alterum orientem immobilis, iisdem in vestigiis, et ore atque
oculis eundem in locum directis, cogitans, tamquam quodam secessu mentis
atque animi facto a corpore. {7}

Temperantiâ quoque tantâ fuisse traditus est, ut omnem fere vitam
valitudine integrâ vixerit. In eâ etiam pestilentiâ, quae in belli
Peloponnensiaci principiis Atheniensium civitatem depopulata est,
dicitur vigorem corporis retinuisse. {12}


VI. ALEXANDER AND BUCEPHALAS.

  _How Alexander obtained his famous charger Bucephalas, how it
  saved his life in battle, and how the King showed his gratitude._

Equus Alexandri regis nomine Bucephalas fuit. Emptum Chares scripsit
talentis tredecim et regi Philippo donatum; hoc autem aeris nostri summa
est sestertia trecenta duodecim. De hoc equo haec memoriâ digna
accepimus. {5} Ubi ornatus erat armatusque ad proelium, haud umquam
inscendi sese ab alio, nisi ab rege passus est. Bello Indico cum
insidens in eo Alexander facinora faceret fortia, in hostium cuneum, non
satis sibi providens, inmisit. Coniectis undique in Alexandrum telis,
vulneribus altis in cervice atque in latere equus perfossus est. {11}
Moribundus tamen ac prope iam exanguis e mediis hostibus regem citato
cursu retulit atque, ubi eum extra tela extulerat, ilico concidit et,
domini iam superstitis securus, animam expiravit. Tum rex Alexander,
partâ eius belli victoriâ, oppidum in iisdem locis condidit idque ob
equi honores Bucephalon appellavit. {17}


VII. ALCIBIADES AND THE PIPES.

  _Alcibiades, when a boy, refused to learn to play the pipes,
  because they distorted the player's mouth._

Alcibiades Atheniensis apud avunculum Periclen educatus est, qui artibus
ac disciplinis liberalibus puerum docendum curavit. Inter alios
magistros tibicinem arcessi iussit, ut eum canere tibiis doceret, quod
honestissimum tum videbatur. Traditas sibi tibias Alcibiades ad os
adhibuit inflavitque; sed ubi oris deformitatem vidit, abiecit
infregitque. Cum ea res percrebuisset, omnium tum Atheniensium consensu
disciplina tibiis canendi desita est. {9}


VIII. FABRICIUS AND THE SAMNITE GOLD.

  _Fabricius refused rich presents, which the Samnites offered him,
  saying that, while he retained command over his senses, he had all
  that he needed._

Legati a Samnitibus ad C. Fabricium, imperatorem populi Romani, venerunt
et, memoratis multis magnisque rebus, quae bene post redditam pacem
Samnitibus fecisset, dono grandem pecuniam obtulerunt. "Quae facimus"
Samnites inquiunt, "quod multa ad splendorem domus atque victus defieri
videmus." {6} Tum Fabricius manus ab auribus ad oculos et infra deinceps
ad nares et ad os et ad gulam deduxit, et legatis ita respondit: "Dum
his omnibus membris, quae attigi, imperare possum, numquam quicquam mihi
deerit; quamobrem hanc pecuniam, quâ nihil mihi est usus, a vobis, qui
eâ uti scitis, non accipio." {12}


IX. HANNIBAL'S JEST.

  _Antiochus, proud of his army, asked Hannibal if they were 'enough
  for the Romans.' 'Quite enough,' replied Hannibal, 'however greedy
  the Romans are.'_

Antiochus ostendebat Hannibali in campo copias ingentis, quas bellum
populo Romano facturus comparaverat, convertebatque exercitum insignibus
argenteis et aureis micantem; inducebat etiam currus cum falcibus et
elephantos cum turribus equitatumque frenis, ephippiis, monilibus,
phaleris fulgentem. {6} Atque ibi rex Hannibalem aspicit et "Putasne"
inquit "satis esse Romanis haec omnia?" Tum Poenus, eludens ignaviam
militum eius tam pretiose armatorum, "Satis, plane satis esse credo
Romanis haec omnia, etiamsi avarissimi sunt." {11}


X. THE DEATH OF MILO.

  _Milo, when enfeebled by age, tried to tear a tree open, but the
  wood closed on his hands and he perished miserably._

Milo Crotoniensis, athleta inlustris, exitum habuit e vita miserandum et
mirandum. Cum iam natu grandis artem athleticam desisset iterque faceret
forte solus in locis Italiae silvestribus, quercum vidit proxime viam
rimis in parte mediâ hiantem. {5} Tum experiri etiam tunc volens,
an ullae sibi vires adessent, inmissis in cavernas arboris digitis,
diducere et rescindere quercum conatus est. Ac mediam quidem partem
discidit divellitque; quercus autem in duas diducta partis, cum ille
manus laxasset, rediit in naturam, manibusque eius retentis inclusisque
dilacerandum hominem feris praebuit. {12}


XI. A HOAX:--THE STORY OF PAPIRIUS PRAETEXTATUS.

  _The young Papirius, pressed by his mother to reveal the secret
  proceedings of the Senate, told her that they had debated whether
  it was better for one husband to have two wives, or one wife two
  husbands._

Mos antea senatoribus Romae fuit, in curiam cum praetextatis filiis
introire. Forte res maior quaepiam consultata et in diem posterum
prolata est, placuitque ut eam rem ne quis enuntiaret, priusquam decreta
esset. Sed mater Papirii pueri, qui cum patre suo in curiâ fuerat,
percontata est filium, quidnam in senatu patres egissent. {7} Puer
respondit tacendum esse neque id dici licere. Mulier autem fit audiendi
cupidior, ac tandem puer matre urgente lepidi mendacii consilium capit.
Actum in senatu dixit, utrum videretur utilius exque republicâ esse,
unusne ut duas uxores haberet, an ut una duobus nupta esset. {12}


XII. THE RESULT OF THE HOAX.

  _The consternation of the Roman Matrons, the bewilderment of the
  Senators, the confession of Papirius, and the reward for his
  discretion._

Ubi illa hoc audivit, domo trepidans egreditur, ad ceteras matronas se
adfert. Pervenit ad senatum postridie matrum familias caterva.
Lacrimantes atque obsecrantes orant, ut una potius duobus nupta fieret
quam ut duae uni. Senatores in curiam ingredientes mirabantur, quae illa
mulierum insania et quid sibi postulatio istaec vellet. {7} Puer
Papirius in medium curiae progressus, quid mater audire institisset,
quid ipse matri dixisset, denarrat. Senatus fidem atque ingenium pueri
laudat et consultum facit, uti posthac pueri cum patribus in curiam ne
introeant, praeter illum unum Papirium, cui postea cognomen honoris
gratiâ datum "Praetextatus." {13}


XIII. SERTORIUS.

  _The extraordinary influence that Sertorius exercised over the
  minds of his soldiers, and the means by which he maintained this
  influence._

Sertorius, vir acer egregiusque dux, et utendi et regendi exercitus
peritus fuit. Is in temporibus difficillimis et mentiebatur ad milites,
si mendacium prodesset, et litteras compositas pro veris legebat, et
somnium simulabat, et falsas religiones conferebat, si quid istae res
eum apud militum animos adiuvabant. {6} Haec hominum barbarorum
credulitas Sertorio in magnis rebus magno usui fuit. Memoria prodita
est, neminem umquam ex his nationibus, quae cum Sertorio faciebant, cum
multis proeliis superatus esset, ab eo descivisse, quamquam id genus
hominum esset mobilissimum. {12}


XIV. SERTORIUS AND THE DOE.

  _Sertorius pretended that divine revelations were made to him
  through a white doe. This doe once ran away, but was soon found
  again. The use which Sertorius made of this incident._

Huic Sertorio cerva alba eximiae pulchritudinis et celeritatis a
Lusitano quodam dono data est. Hanc persuasit omnibus, oblatam sibi
divinitus et instinctam Dianae numine, conloqui secum et monere et
docere, quae utilia factu essent, ac, si quid durius videbatur, quod
imperandum militibus foret, a cervâ sese monitum praedicabat. {7} Id cum
dixerat, universi, tamquam si deo, libentes ei parebant. Ea cerva quodam
die, cum incursio hostium esset nuntiata, tumultu consternata in fugam
se proripuit atque in palude proximâ delituit, et postea requisita
periisse credita est. Neque multis diebus post inventam esse cervam
Sertorio nuntiatur. {12} Tum eum qui nuntiaverat iussit tacere ac, ne
cui palam diceret, interminatus est praecepitque, ut eam postero die
repente in eum locum, in quo ipse cum amicis esset, inmitteret. {16}
Admissis deinde amicis postridie, cervam ait, quae periisset, visam esse
in quiete ad se reverti et, ut prius consuerat, quod opus esset facto
praedicere; tum servo quod imperaverat significat, cerva emissa in
cubiculum Sertorii introrupit, clamor factus et orta admiratio est. {21}


XV. TARQUIN AND THE SIBYLLINE BOOKS.

  _A Sibyl offered to sell King Tarquin nine books for a large sum.
  On his scornful refusal she burnt three, and offered the remaining
  six for the same sum, but he again refused. She burnt three more
  and offered the remaining three for the same sum: these the King
  bought and deposited in the 'Sacristy.'_

In antiquis annalibus haec memoria de libris Sibyllinis prodita est:
Anus hospita atque incognita ad Tarquinium Superbum regem adiit, novem
libros ferens, quos divina oracula esse dicebat; eos velle vendere.
Tarquinius pretium percontatus est. Mulier nimium atque inmensum
poposcit: rex, quasi anus aetate desiperet, derisit. {7} Tum illa
foculum coram cum igni apponit, tris libros ex novem deurit et, ecquid
reliquos sex eodem pretio emere vellet, regem interrogavit. Sed enim
Tarquinius id multo magis risit, dixitque anum iam procul dubio
delirare. Mulier ibidem statim tris alios libros exussit atque id ipsum
denuo placide rogat, ut tris reliquos eodem illo pretio emat. {14}
Tarquinius ore iam serio atque attentiore animo fit, eam constantiam
confidentiamque non contemnendam intellegit, libros tris reliquos
mercatur nihilo minore pretio, quam quod erat petitum pro omnibus. Sed
ea mulier tunc a Tarquinio digressa postea nusquam loci visa est. Libri
tres, in sacrarium conditi, "Sibyllini" appellati; ad eos quasi ad
oraculum quindecimviri adeunt, cum di immortales publice consulendi
sunt. {22}


XVI. SCIPIO AFRICANUS IMPEACHED: HIS ANSWER.

  _Scipio was accused of having received bribes from Antiochus.
  Scorning to answer such a charge, he reminded the people that this
  was the anniversary of his great victory at Zama, and called upon
  them to follow him to the Capitol and there return thanks to the
  gods._

M. Naevius tribunus plebis accusavit Scipionem ad populum, dixitque eum
accepisse a rege Antiocho pecuniam, ut condicionibus mollibus pax cum eo
populi Romani nomine fieret, et quaedam item alia indigna tali viro
addidit. Tum Scipio pauca praefatus, quae dignitas vitae suae atque
gloria postulabat, {6} "Memoriâ" inquit, "Quirites, repeto, diem esse
hodiernum, quo Hannibalem Poenum, imperio vestro inimicissimum, magno
proelio in terrâ Africâ vici, pacemque et victoriam vobis peperi
praeclaram. Non igitur simus adversum deos ingrati et, censeo,
relinquamus nebulonem hunc, eamus hinc protinus Iovi optimo maximo
gratulatum." {13} Id cum dixisset, avertit et ire ad Capitolium coepit.
Tum contio universa, quae ad sententiam de Scipione ferendam convenerat,
relicto tribuno Scipionem in Capitolium comitata, atque inde ad aedes
eius cum laetitiâ et gratulatione sollemni prosecuta est. {18}


XVII. SCIPIO AFRICANUS: ANOTHER IMPEACHMENT.

  _Scipio on another occasion was accused of embezzling the money
  paid by Antiochus as a war indemnity: he answered the charge by
  tearing his accounts in pieces before the eyes of the Senators._

Item aliud est factum eius praeclarum. Petilii quidam tribuni plebis a
M., ut aiunt, Catone, inimico Scipionis, comparati in eum atque inmissi,
desiderabant in senatu, ut pecuniae Antiochinae praedaeque in eo bello
captae rationem redderet: fuerat enim L. Scipioni Asiatico, fratri suo,
imperatori in eâ provinciâ legatus. {7} Ibi Scipio exurgit et, prolato e
sinu togae libro, rationes in eo scriptas esse dixit omnis pecuniae
omnisque praedae; allatum, ut palam recitaretur et ad aerarium
deferretur. "Sed enim id iam non faciam" inquit, "nec me ipse afficiam
contumeliâ," eumque librum statim coram discidit suis manibus, aegre
passus, quod, cui salus imperii ac reipublicae accepta referri deberet,
ab eo ratio praedae posceretur. {14}


XVIII. SCIPIO AFRICANUS AND THE GODS.

  _Scipio believed that he was a special favourite of the gods:
  before entering on any important work he used to spend hours of
  quiet meditation in the temple on the Capitol. A story is given
  showing his power of foreseeing the future._

Id etiam dicere haut piget, quod ii, qui de vitâ et rebus Africani
scripserunt, litteris mandaverunt. Solitus est noctis extremo ante
primam lucem in Capitolium ventitare ac iubere aperiri cellam Iovis,
atque ibi solus diu demorari, quasi consultans de republicâ cum Iove.
{6} Aeditumi eius templi saepe admirati, quod in eum solum id temporis
in Capitolium ingredientem canes, semper in alios saevientes, neque
latrarent neque incurrerent. Has volgi de Scipione opiniones confirmare
atque approbare videbantur dicta factaque eius pleraque admiranda. Ex
quibus est unum huiuscemodi. {12} Assidebat oppugnabatque oppidum in
Hispaniâ situm, moenibus defensoribusque validum et munitum, re etiam
cibariâ copiosum, nullaque eius potiundi spes erat. Quodam die ius in
castris sedens dicebat, atque ex eo loco id oppidum procul visebatur.
{17} Tum quispiam e militibus, qui in iure apud eum stabant,
interrogavit ex more, in quem diem locumque vadimonium promitti iuberet:
et Scipio manum ad ipsam oppidi, quod obsidebatur, arcem protendens,
perendie sese sistere illo in loco iussit. Atque ita factum: die tertio,
in quem vadari iusserat, oppidum captum est eodemque eo die in arce eius
oppidi ius dixit. {24}


XIX. DUTY AND FRIENDSHIP.

  _How a man, when trying a friend who was guilty, succeeded in
  reconciling the claims of duty and of friendship, by himself
  voting for condemnation, but persuading his fellow iudices to vote
  for acquittal._

Super amici capite iudex cum duobus aliis fui. Ita lex fuit, uti eum
hominem condemnari necesse esset. Aut amico igitur caput perdendum aut
adhibenda fraus legi fuit. Multa cum animo meo ad casum tam ancipitem
medendum consultavi; tandem hoc, quod feci, visum est optimum. Ipse
tacitus ad condemnandum sententiam tuli, iis qui simul iudicabant, ut
absolverent, persuasi. Sic mihi et iudicis et amici officium in re tantâ
salvum fuit. {9}


XX. AVOID OBSOLETE LANGUAGE.

  _Favorinus rebuked a young man, who affected the use of archaic
  language, by telling him to hold his tongue altogether if he did
  not wish to be understood: if he admired the purity of the good
  old times he should imitate their ways, not their words._

Favorinus philosophus adulescenti, veterum verborum cupidissimo et
plerasque voces nimis priscas et ignotas in cotidianis sermonibus
expromenti, "Curius" inquit "et Fabricius et Coruncanius, antiquissimi
viri, et his antiquiores Horatii illi trigemini plane ac dilucide cum
suis locuti sunt, neque Auruncorum aut Sicanorum aut Pelasgorum, qui
primi coluisse Italiam dicuntur, sed aetatis suae verbis usi sunt; {8}
tu autem, proinde quasi cum matre Euandri nunc loquare, sermone abhinc
multis annis iam desito uteris, quod neminem vis scire atque intellegere
quae dicas. Nonne, homo inepte, ut quod vis abunde consequaris, taces?
{12} Sed antiquitatem tibi placere ais, quod honesta et bona et sobria
et modesta sit. Vive ergo moribus praeteritis, loquere verbis
praesentibus: atque id, quod a C. Caesare scriptum est, habe semper in
memoriâ atque in pectore, ut tamquam scopulum sic fugias insolens
verbum." {18}


XXI. TORQUATUS AND THE GAUL:--THE CHALLENGE.

  _In one of the struggles between the Romans and the Gauls in 361
  B.C. a gigantic Gaul challenged the Romans to send out a champion
  to meet him: all held back except the young T. Manlius._

Titus Manlius summo loco natus fuit. Ei cognomen factum est Torquatus.
Causa cognomenti fuisse dicitur torquis, quam ex hoste, quem occiderat,
detractam induit. Quis hostis fuerit et qualis pugna ita accepimus. {5}

Galli contra Romanos pugnabant, cum interim Gallus quidam nudus praeter
scutum et gladios duos, torque atque armillis decoratus, qui et viribus
et magnitudine et adulescentiâ et virtute ceteros praestabat, processit
et manu significare coepit utrisque, ut quiescerent. Extemplo silentio
facto voce maximâ conclamat, si quis secum depugnare vellet, uti
prodiret. {12} Nemo audebat propter magnitudinem atque inmanem faciem.
Deinde Gallus inridere coepit atque linguam exertare. Doluit Titus
Manlius, tantum flagitium civitati adcidere, e tanto exercitu neminem
prodire. Processit ipse scuto pedestri et gladio Hispanico cinctus et
contra Gallum constitit. {18}


XXII. TORQUATUS AND THE GAUL:--THE BATTLE.

  _In the struggle which followed Manlius disconcerted the Gaul by
  suddenly with his shield dashing him back from his posture of
  defence; he then came to close quarters with the Gaul, and slew
  him. He put on his own neck the necklace which the Gaul had worn;
  hence he was named Torquatus. This same Manlius executed his son
  for disobeying orders and slaying an enemy who had challenged
  him._

Metu magno ea congressio in ipso ponte, utroque exercitu inspectante,
facta est. Constitit Gallus suâ disciplinâ scuto proiecto cunctabundus;
Manlius, animo magis quam arte confisus, scuto scutum percussit atque
statum Galli conturbavit. {5} Dum se Gallus iterum eodem pacto
constituere studet, Manlius iterum scuto scutum percutit atque de loco
hominem iterum deiecit; eo pacto ei sub Gallicum gladium successit atque
Hispanico pectus hausit; deinde continuo umerum dextrum incidit neque
recessit usquam, donec subvertit. Ubi eum evertit, caput praecidit,
torquem detraxit eamque sanguinulentam sibi in collum inponit. Quo ex
facto ipse posterique eius Torquati sunt cognominati. {13}

Ab hoc Tito Manlio imperia et aspera et immitia Manlia dicta sunt,
quoniam postea, cum bello adversum Latinos esset consul, filium suum
securi percussit, qui speculatum ab eo missus, pugnâ interdictâ, hostem,
a quo provocatus fuerat, occiderat. {18}


XXIII. VALERIUS CORVINUS:--THE ORIGIN OF HIS NAME.

  _On another occasion the young Valerius accepted the challenge of
  a gigantic Gaul. During the fight a raven aided the Roman by
  attacking his enemy with its talons; thus helped Valerius slew the
  Gaul, and received the name of Corvinus._

Copiae Gallorum ingentes agrum Pomptinum insederant instruebanturque
acies a consulibus. Dux interea Gallorum, vastâ proceritate armisque
auro praefulgentibus, manu telum vibrans incedebat perque contemptum et
superbiam circumspicit despicitque omnia, et venire iubet et congredi,
si quis pugnare secum ex omni Romano exercitu auderet. {7} Tum Valerius
adulescens, tribunus iam militaris, ceteris inter metum pudoremque
ambiguis, impetrat a consulibus, ut in Gallum pugnare sese permitterent,
et progreditur intrepidus obviam. Et congrediuntur et consistunt et
conserebantur iam manus. {12} Atque ibi vis quaedam divina fit: corvus
repente advolat et super galeam tribuni insistit atque inde in
adversarii os atque oculos pugnare incipit, eius manum unguibus laniabat
atque, ubi satis saevierat, revolabat in galeam tribuni. Sic tribunus,
spectante utroque exercitu, et suâ virtute nixus et operâ, alitis
adiutus, ducem hostium ferocissimum vicit interfecitque, atque ob hanc
causam cognomen habuit Corvinum. {20}

Statuam Corvino isti divus Augustus in foro suo statuendam curavit. In
eius statuae capite corvi simulacrum est, rei pugnaeque, quam diximus,
monimentum.


XXIV. AESOP.

  _Aesop in his fables gives good advice in a pleasant way, and
  hence men attend to him. An instance of this is his fable of the
  lark, which has been put into verse by Ennius._

Aesopus ille e Phrygia fabularum scriptor haud inmerito sapiens
existimatus est; quae enim utilia monitu suasuque erant, non severe
praecepit, ut philosophis mos est, sed hilares iucundosque apologos
commentus, in mentes hominum cum audiendi quâdam inlecebrâ induit. {6}
Velut haec eius fabula de parvae avis nidulo lepide praemonet spem
fiduciamque rerum, quas efficere quis possit, haut umquam in alio, sed
in semetipso habendam. Hunc Aesopi apologum Q. Ennius in satiris
versibus quadratis composuit, quorum duo postremi hi sunt: {11}

  Hóc erit tibi árgumentum sémper in promptú situm,
  Né quid expectés amicos, quód tute agere póssies. {13}


XXV. A FABLE OF AESOP:--THE LARK AND THE REAPERS.

  _A certain lark found the corn, in which it had built, ripe for
  cutting before its young were fledged. It therefore ordered them
  to report anything unusual which might happen in its absence. The
  first day they announced that the master had been to the field and
  had sent to ask his friends to help him to reap the corn. On
  hearing this the mother said that there was no immediate need for
  them to leave the field._

Avis est parva, nomen est cassita. Habitat in segetibus, id ferme
temporis ut appetat messis pullis iam iam plumantibus. Ea cassita in
sementes forte congesserat tempestiviores; propterea frumentis
flavescentibus pulli etiam tunc inplumes erant. {5} Dum igitur ipsa iret
cibum pullis quaesitum, monet eos, ut, si quid ibi rei novae fieret
dicereturve, animadverterent idque sibi, ubi rediisset, nuntiarent.
Dominus postea segetum illarum filium adulescentem vocat et "Videsne"
inquit "haec maturuisse et manus iam postulare? idcirco cras, ubi primum
dilucescit, fac amicos eas et roges, ut veniant operamque mutuam dent et
in hac messi nos adiuvent." {13} Haec ubi ille dixit, et discessit.
Atque ubi redit cassita, pulli tremibundi orare matrem, ut iam statim
properet inque alium locum sese asportet: "Nam dominus" inquiunt "misit,
qui amicos roget, uti luce oriente veniant et metant." Mater iubet eos
otioso animo esse: "Si enim dominus" inquit "messim ad amicos reiicit,
cras seges non metetur, neque necesse est hodie uti vos auferam." {20}


XXVI. THE LARK AND THE REAPERS (_Continued_).

  _Next day the young ones reported that the master, finding his
  friends had not come, had sent to ask the aid of his relations.
  The mother still tells them to be in no fear, and next day again
  goes out to seek food. This time the young ones report that the
  master, finding his relations lingered, had determined to cut the
  corn himself. On hearing this the mother announces that they must
  go at once._

Die postero mater in pabulum volat. Dominus, quos rogaverat, opperitur.
Sol fervit, et fit nihil; it dies, et amici nulli eunt. Tum ille rursum
ad filium "Amici isti" inquit "cessatores sunt. Quin potius imus et
cognatos adfinesque nostros oramus, ut adsint cras ad metendum?" {6}
Itidem hoc pulli pavefacti matri nuntiant. Mater hortatur, ut tum quoque
sine metu ac sine curâ sint; cognatos adfinesque nullos ferme tam
faciles esse ait, ut ad laborem capessendum nihil cunctentur et statim
dicto oboediant: "Vos modo" inquit "advertite, si modo quid denuo
dicetur." Aliâ luce ortâ avis in pastum profecta est. {12} Cognati et
adfines operam, quam dare rogati sunt, neglexerunt. Ad postremum igitur
dominus filio "Valeant" inquit "amici cum propinquis. Afferes primâ luce
falces duas; unam egomet mihi et tu tibi capies alteram et frumentum
nosmetipsi manibus nostris cras metemus." {17} Id ubi ex pullis dixisse
dominum mater audivit, "Tempus" inquit "est cedendi et abeundi; fiet
nunc dubio procul quod futurum dixit. In ipso enim iam vertitur cuia res
est, non in alio, unde petitur." Atque ita cassita e nido migravit,
seges a domino demessa est. {23}


XXVII. PYRRUS AND FABRICIUS.

  _A friend of King Pyrrus came to the Roman general Fabricius and
  offered to poison the King for a bribe. Fabricius reported the
  matter to the Senate, who warned Pyrrus to be on his guard. Pyrrus
  showed his gratitude by sending back all the Roman prisoners._

Cum Pyrrus rex in terrâ Italiâ esset et unam atque alteram pugnas
prospere pugnasset et pleraque Italia ad regem descivisset, tum
Ambraciensis quispiam Timochares, regis Pyrri amicus, ad C. Fabricium
consulem furtim venit ac praemium petivit et, si de praemio conveniret,
promisit se regem venenis necaturum; idque facile esse factu dixit,
quoniam filius suus pocula in convivio regi ministraret. {8} Eam rem
Fabricius ad senatum scripsit. Senatus ad regem legatos misit
mandavitque, ut de Timochare nihil proderent, sed monerent, uti rex
cautius ageret atque a proximorum insidiis salutem tutaretur. Quamobrem
Pyrrus populo Romano laudes atque gratias scripsisse dicitur captivosque
omnes, quos tum habuit, vestivisse et reddidisse. {15}


XXVIII. ANDROCLUS AND THE LION: SCENE IN THE CIRCUS.

  _At the games in the Circus a lion of gigantic size was seen to
  fawn upon one of the condemned slaves exposed in the arena._

In circo maximo venationis pugna populo dabatur. Multae ibi ferae, sed
praeter alia omnia leo corpore vasto terrificoque fremitu et sonoro
animos oculosque omnium in sese converterat. Introductus erat inter
compluris ceteros ad pugnam bestiarum datos servus viri consularis; ei
servo Androclus nomen fuit. {6} Hunc ille leo ubi vidit procul, repente
quasi admirans stetit ac deinde sensim atque placide, tamquam
familiaris, ad hominem accedit. Tum caudam more adulantium canum blande
movet cruraque et manus hominis, prope iam exanimati metu, linguâ
leniter demulcet. {11} Homo Androclus inter illa tam atrocis ferae
blandimenta amissum animum recuperat, paulatim oculos ad contuendum
leonem refert. Tum quasi mutuâ recognitione factâ laetos et gratulantes
videres hominem et leonem. {16}


XXIX. ANDROCLUS AND THE LION:--THE SLAVE'S STORY.

  _When questioned by the Emperor the slave explained that he had
  fled from his master into the African desert, that he had by
  accident taken refuge in this lion's cave, and, when the lion had
  returned to its home lame, he had extracted a thorn from its
  foot._

Haec tam mira res maximos populi clamores excitat et Caesar Androclum
vocat quaeritque causam, cur illi uni atrocissimus leo pepercisset. Ibi
Androclus rem mirificam atque admirandam narrat. {4} "Cum provinciam"
inquit "Africam proconsulari imperio meus dominus obtineret, ego ibi
iniquis eius et cotidianis verberibus ad fugam sum coactus et, quo mihi
a domino, terrae illius praeside, tutiores latebrae forent, in locos
desertos et remotos concessi ac, si defuisset cibus, consilium fuit
mortem aliquo pacto quaerere. {10} Tum die medio sole flagrante specum
quemdam nanctus remotum latebrosumque, in eum me recondo. Neque multo
post ad eundem specum venit hic leo, debili uno et cruento pede, gemitus
edens et murmura ob dolorem cruciatumque vulneris. {15} Atque illic
primo quidem conspectu advenientis leonis territus et pavefactus sum;
sed postquam introgressus leo videt me procul delitescentem, mitis et
mansuetus accessit et sublatum pedem ostendere mihi et porrigere quasi
opis petendae gratiâ visus est. {20} Ibi ego stirpem ingentem, vestigio
pedis eius haerentem, revelli conceptamque saniem volnere intimo
expressi et sine magnâ iam formidine siccavi penitus atque detersi
cruorem. Illâ tunc meâ operâ levatus, pede in manibus meis posito,
recubuit et quievit." {25}


XXX. ANDROCLUS AND THE LION:--THE SLAVE'S STORY (_continued_).

  _For three years he and the lion had lived together. At last he
  had grown weary of the savage life, but as soon as he had returned
  to the haunts of men he had been captured, condemned, and sent to
  Rome to be exposed to the wild beasts in the circus. Androclus was
  pardoned and the lion was given to him._

"Ex eo die triennium totum ego et leo in eodem specu eodemque et victu
viximus. Nam, quas venabatur feras, membra opimiora ad specum mihi
ferebat, quae ego, ignis copiam non habens, meridiano sole torrens
edebam. {5} Sed ubi me vitae illius ferinae iam pertaesum est, leone in
venatum profecto, reliqui specum et, viam ferme tridui permensus,
a militibus visus adprehensusque sum et ad dominum ex Africâ Romam
deductus. Is me statim rei capitalis damnandum dandumque ad bestias
curavit. Intellego autem" inquit "hunc quoque leonem me tunc separato
captum, gratiam mihi nunc beneficii et medicinae referre." {13}

Haec dixit Androclus; quae cum scripta essent circumlataque populo et
declarata, cunctis petentibus dimissus Androclus et poenâ solutus et
leone suffragiis populi donatus. Postea Androclus et leo, loro tenui
revinctus, urbe totâ circum tabernas ibat: donatus est aere Androclus,
floribus sparsus est leo, omnesque ubique obvii exclamant, "Hic est leo
hospes hominis, hic est homo medicus leonis." {21}


XXXI. THE ACTOR POLUS.

  _Polus, having to act the part of Electra soon after his only son
  had died, appeared on the stage holding the urn which contained
  the remains of his son, and over this he wept the tears of real
  grief._

Histrio in terrâ Graeciâ fuit famâ celebri, cui nomen erat Polus. Is
unice amatum filium morte amisit, sed ubi cum satis visus est luxisse,
rediit ad quaestum artis. {4}

Eo tempore Athenis Electram Sophoclis acturus, gestare urnam quasi cum
Oresti ossibus debebat. Ita compositum fabulae argumentum est ut, veluti
fratris reliquias ferens, Electra comploret interitum eius existimatum.
{9} Igitur Polus, lugubri habitu Electrae indutus, ossa atque urnam e
sepulcro tulit filii et, quasi Oresti amplexus, opplevit omnia non
simulacris sed luctu atque lamentis veris. Itaque cum agi fabula
videretur, dolor actus est. {13}


XXXII. A GREEK ORATOR IS BRIBED, AND GLORIES IN HIS SHAME.

  _A Greek orator--some say Demosthenes, others Demades--at first
  opposed a request of the Milesians for aid, but took a bribe to
  withdraw his opposition. When the matter was again discussed he
  announced that he was suffering from an inflamed throat, and so
  could not speak. He afterwards openly boasted that he had been
  paid to hold his tongue._

Legati Mileto auxilii petendi causâ venerunt Athenas. Tum qui pro sese
verba facerent advocaverunt; hi, uti erat mandatum, verba pro Milesiis
ad populum fecerunt, sed Demosthenes Milesiorum postulatis acriter
respondit; neque Milesios auxilio dignos neque ex republicâ id esse
contendit. Res tandem in posterum diem prolata est. {7} Tum legati ad
Demosthenen venerunt oraveruntque, uti contra ne diceret. Is pecuniam
petivit et quantam petiverat abstulit. Postridie, cum res agi denuo
coepta esset, Demosthenes, lanâ multâ collum circumvolutus, ad populum
prodit et dixit se synanchen pati; eo contra Milesios loqui non quire.
Tum e populo quidam exclamavit, non synanchen eum pati sed argyranchen.
{14}

Ipse etiam Demosthenes non id postea celavit, quin gloriae quoque hoc
sibi adsignavit. Nam cum interrogasset Aristodemum, actorem fabularum,
quantum mercedis, uti ageret, accepisset, et Aristodemus talentum
respondisset, "At ego plus" inquit "accepi, ut tacerem." {20}

Quod hic diximus de Demosthene, id nonnulli scriptores in Demaden
contulerunt. {22}


XXXIII. CICERO.

  _Cicero once borrowed money to buy a house, but afterwards denied
  that he had ever taken the money or had intended to purchase the
  property. He did buy the house, and, when reminded of what he had
  said, replied that a prudent man always concealed his intended
  purchases._

Cicero cum emere vellet in Palatio domum neque pecuniam in praesens
haberet, a P. Sulla, qui tum reus erat, mutua sestertium viciens tacita
accepit. Ea res tamen, priusquam emeret, prodita est et in vulgus
exivit, obiectumque ei est, quod pecuniam domus emendae causâ a reo
accepisset. {6} Tum Cicero inopinatâ obprobratione permotus accepisse se
negavit ac domum quoque se empturum negavit. Sed cum postea emisset et
hoc mendacium in senatu ei ab amicis obiiceretur, risit satis atque
inter ridendum: "#akoinonoêtoi#" inquit "homines estis, cum ignoratis
prudentis et cauti patrisfamilias esse, quod emere velit, empturum sese
negare propter competitores emptionis." {13}


XXXIV. FIRES AT ROME:--A REMEDY.

  _"Property in Rome," said a friend, "would be worth far more if
  the risk from fire were not so great." "Archelaus," replied
  Julianus, "preserved his defensive outworks from fire by covering
  them with alum."_

Declamaverat Antonius Iulianus rhetor quam felicissime, eumque nos
familiares eius circumfusi undique prosequebamur domum, cum subeuntes
montem Cispium conspicimus insulam quandam multis, arduisque tabulatis
editam, igni occupatam et propinqua iam omnia flagrare vasto incendio.
{6} Tum quispiam ibi ex comitibus Iuliani, "Magni" inquit "reditus
urbanorum praediorum, sed pericula sunt longe maxima. Si quid autem
posset remedii fore, ut ne tam adsidue domus Romae arderent, venum
hercle dedissem res rusticas et urbicas emissem." Atque illi Iulianus
"Si annalem" inquit "undevicensimum Q. Claudi legisses, docuisset te
profecto Archelaus, regis Mitridati praefectus, quo remedio ignem
defenderes. {14} In eo enim libro scriptum inveni, cum obpugnaret L.
Sulla in terrâ Atticâ Piraeum et contra Archelaus regis Mitridati
praefectus ex eo oppido propugnaret, turrim ligneam defendendi gratiâ
structam, cum ex omni latere circumplexa igni foret, ardere non quisse,
quod alumine ab Archelao oblita fuisset." {20}


XXXV. ARION AND THE DOLPHIN.

1. THE ROBBERY.

  _Arion, having gained much money in Italy and Sicily, took ship to
  return to Corinth, but was robbed and made to leap overboard by
  the sailors._

Vetus et nobilis cantor Arion fuit. Is oppido Methymnaeus, terrâ Lesbius
fuit. Eum Arionem rex Corinthi Periander amicum habuit artis gratiâ. Is
inde a rege proficiscitur, ut terras praeclaras Siciliam atque Italiam
viseret. Ubi eo venit aures omnium mentesque in utriusque terrae urbibus
delectavit, et postea grandem pecuniam adeptus Corinthum instituit
redire. {8} Navem igitur et navitas, ut notiores amicioresque sibi,
Corinthios delegit. Sed ei Corinthii, homine accepto navique in altum
provectâ, praedae pecuniaeque cupidi, consilium de necando Arione
ceperunt. Tum ille pecuniam ceteraque sua eis dedit vitam modo sibi ut
parcerent oravit. {13} Navitae per vim suis manibus eum non necaverunt,
sed imperaverunt, ut iam statim coram desiliret praeceps in mare. Homo
ibi territus, spe omni vitae perditâ, id unum postea oravit, ut,
priusquam mortem obpeteret, induere permitterent sua sibi omnia et fides
capere et canere carmen. {19} Quod oraverat impetrat, atque ibi mox de
more cinctus, amictus, ornatus stansque in summâ puppi, carmen, quod
"orthium" dicitur, voce sublatissimâ cantavit. Ad postrema cantus cum
fidibus ornatuque omni, sicut stabat canebatque, iecit sese procul in
profundum. {24}


XXXVI. ARION AND THE DOLPHIN.

2. THE RESCUE.

  _A dolphin carried him safely to Taenarum; thence he travelled to
  Corinth, and told his adventure to the King. The sailors on their
  arrival were confronted by Arion and convicted of their crime._

Navitae, hautquaquam dubitantes, quin periisset, cursum, quem facere
coeperant, tenuerunt. Sed novum et mirum et pium facinus contigit.
Delphinus repente inter undas adnavit, fluitantique sese homini
subdidit, et dorso super fluctus edito vectavit incolumique eum corpore
et ornatu Taenarum in terram Laconicam devexit. {7} Tum Arion prorsus ex
eo loco Corinthum petivit talemque Periandro regi, qualis delphino
vectus fuerat, inopinanti sese optulit, eique rem, sicuti acciderat,
narravit. Rex istaec parum credidit, Arionem, quasi falleret, custodiri
iussit, navitas inquisitos, ablegato Arione, dissimulanter interrogavit,
ecquid audissent in his locis, unde venissent, de Arione? {14} Dixerunt
hominem, cum inde irent, in terrâ Italiâ fuisse et illic bene agere. Tum
inter haec eorum verba Arion cum fidibus et indumentis, cum quibus se in
salum deiecerat, extitit, navitaeque stupefacti convictique ire infitias
non quiverunt. Hanc fabulam dicunt Lesbii et Corinthii, atque fabulae
argumentum est quod simulacra duo aenea ad Taenarum visuntur, delphinus
vehens et homo insidens. {21}


XXXVII. THE THRACIAN HUSBANDMAN.

  _A Thracian having heard that trees required cutting and pruning,
  proceeded to chop the tops off his vines and olives, and thus in
  his ignorance destroyed all his property._

Homo Thracus ex ultimâ barbariâ ruris colendi insolens, cum in terras
cultiores migrasset, fundum mercatus est oleo atque vino consitum. Qui
nihil admodum de vite aut arbore colendâ sciret, videt forte vicinum
rubos alte atque late obortas excidentem, fraxinos ad summum prope
verticem deputantem, suboles vitium e radicibus super terram fusas
revellentem, stolones in pomis aut in oleis proceros amputantem; {9}
acceditque prope et cur tantam ligni atque frondium caedem faceret,
percontatus est. Et vicinus ita respondit: "Ut ager" inquit "mundus
purusque fiat, eius arbor atque vitis fecundior." {12} Discedit ille a
vicino gratias agens et laetus, tamquam adeptus rei rusticae
disciplinam. Tum falcem ac securim capit; atque ibi homo miser imperitus
vites suas sibi omnis et oleas detruncat, comasque arborum laetissimas
uberrimosque vitium palmites decidit, et virgulta simul omnia, pomis
gignendis felicia, cum sentibus et rubis purgandi agri gratiâ convellit.
{19}


XXXVIII. MITRIDATES.

  _Mitridates by the use of antidotes made himself proof against
  poisons: hence when he wished to kill himself he had to use his
  sword. He could speak perfectly the languages of the twenty-two
  nations over which he ruled._

Mitridates ille Ponti rex medicinae rei et remediorum sollers erat,
quorum adsiduo usu a clandestinis epularum insidiis cavebat; quin et
ultro ostentandi gratiâ venenum rapidum et velox saepenumero hausit,
atque id tamen sine noxâ fuit. Quamobrem postea, cum proelio victus in
ultima regni refugisset et mori decrevisset, venena festinandae necis
causâ frustra expertus, suo se ipse gladio transegit. {8}

Quintus Ennius tria corda sese habere dicebat, quod loqui Graece et Osce
et Latine sciret. Mitridates autem duarum et viginti gentium, quas sub
dicione habuit, linguas percalluit, earumque omnium gentium viris haut
umquam per interpretem conlocutus est, sed linguâ et oratione cuiusque,
non minus scite quam si gentis eius esset, locutus est. {15}


XXXIX. THE PHILOSOPHER AND HIS PUPIL.

  _Euathlus agreed to pay Protagoras a certain sum of money on the
  day when he won his first case. He never undertook one, so at last
  Protagoras brought an action against him to recover the money.
  "You are in this dilemma," said the philosopher: "if you lose this
  action, the court will award me the money; if you win it, you will
  have won your first case, and will owe me the fee according to our
  agreement." "Nay," replied the pupil, "if I win the action,
  I shall owe you nothing according to the sentence of the court;
  if I lose, I shall owe you nothing according to our agreement."_

Euathlus, adulescens dives, eloquentiae discendae causarumque orandi
cupidus fuit. Is in disciplinam Protagorae sese dedit daturumque
promisit mercedem grandem pecuniam, quantam Protagoras petiverat,
dimidiumque eius dedit iam tunc pepigitque, ut reliquum dimidium daret,
quo primo die causam apud iudices orasset et vicisset. {7} Postea cum
diu auditor Protagorae fuisset, causas tamen non reciperet, tempusque
iam longum transcurreret et facere id videretur, ne relicum mercedis
daret, capit consilium Protagoras, ut tum existimabat, astutum: petere
institit ex pacto mercedem, litem cum Euathlo contestatur. {12}

Cum ad iudices venissent, tum Protagoras sic exorsus est: "Disce,"
inquit "stultissime adulescens, utroque id modo fore, uti reddas quod
peto, sive contra te pronuntiatum erit sive pro te. Nam, si contra te
lis data erit, merces mihi ex sententiâ debebitur, quia ego vicero; sin
vero secundum te iudicatum erit, merces mihi ex pacto debebitur, quia tu
viceris." {20}

Ad ea respondit Euathlus: "Disce igitur tu quoque, magister
sapientissime, utroque modo fore, uti non reddam quod petis, sive contra
me pronuntiatum fuerit sive pro me. Nam, si iudices pro causâ meâ
senserint, nihil tibi ex sententiâ debebitur, quia ego vicero; sin
contra me pronuntiaverint, nihil tibi ex pacto debebo, quia non vicero."
{27}

Tum iudices hoc inexplicabile esse rati, causam in diem longissimam
distulerunt. Sic ab adulescente discipulo magister doctissimus suo ipse
argumento confutatus est. {31}


XL. ROMAN RESPECT FOR AN OATH; THE STORY OF THE TEN CAPTIVES.

  _Hannibal after the battle of Cannae sent ten captives to Rome to
  propose an exchange of prisoners, but bound the ten by an oath to
  return, if the Senate did not accept his offer. The Senate
  rejected it, and eight out of the ten returned, but two, yielding
  to the entreaties of their friends, and alleging that they had by
  a trick freed themselves from the obligation of the oath, remained
  behind. These two were treated with such scorn that they found
  life unbearable and committed suicide._

Post proelium Cannense Hannibal ex captivis nostris electos decem Romam
misit, mandavitque eis pactusque est, ut, si populo Romano videretur,
permutatio fieret captivorum et pro his, quos alteri plures acciperent,
darent argenti pondo libram et selibram. Hoc, priusquam
proficiscerentur, iusiurandum eos adegit, redituros esse in castra
Poenica, si Romani captivos non permutarent. {8}

Veniunt Romam decem captivi. Mandatum Poeni imperatoris in senatu
exponunt. Permutatio senatui non placet. Parentes, cognati adfinesque
captivorum amplexi eos postliminio in patriam redisse dicebant,
statumque eorum integrum incolumemque esse, ac, ne ad hostes redire
vellent, orabant. {14} Tum octo ex his postliminium iustum non esse sibi
responderunt, quoniam iure iurando vincti forent, statimque, uti iurati
erant, ad Hannibalem profecti sunt. {17} Duo reliqui Romae manserunt
solutosque se esse ac liberatos religione dicebant, quoniam, cum egressi
castra hostium fuissent, commenticio consilio, tamquam ob aliquam
fortuitam causam, eodem regressi sunt, atque ita rursum iniurati
abissent. {22} Haec eorum fraudulenta calliditas tam esse turpis
existimata est, ut contempti vulgo sint censoresque eos postea omnibus
ignominiae notis adfecerint. {25}

Multis autem in senatu placuit, ut datis custodibus ad Hannibalem
deducerentur, sed ea sententia numero plurium, quibus id non videretur,
superata. Usque adeo tamen invisi erant, ut taedio vitae necem sibi
conscivissent. {30}




NOTES.


I.

1. +P. Vergilius Maro+, the greatest of Roman epic poets, was born 70
B.C. near Mantua, in the N. of Italy, and died 19 B.C. at Brundusium, in
the S.E. of Italy. His chief works were the _B[-u]c[)o]l[)i]c[)a]_
(#bou-koleô#, I tend cattle), or _Ecl[)o]gae_ ('Selections,' from
#ek-legô#, I choose out), a series of short poems, chiefly pastoral; the
_G[)e]org[)i]c[)a]_ (#gê ergon#), a poetical treatise on agriculture;
and the _Aen[-e]ïs_, or story of Aen[-e]as, a poem in twelve books,
relating the adventures of Aeneas after the fall of Troy.

2. +se parere versus+, 'that he produced his verses like a bear,' lit.
'in a bear-like manner.'

+p[)a]r[)e]re+, from _p[)a]rio_. Distinguish three words, (1) _p[)a]ro,
-avi, -atum, -are_, 'I prepare,' (2) _p[-a]reo, -ui, -itum, -[-e]re_,
'I obey,' gov. dat. case, (3) _p[)a]rio, p[)e]p[)e]ri, partum_, or
_par[)i]tum, -[)e]re_, 'I bring forth.'

3. +lambendo+, abl. of the gerund, 'by licking it'; so +tractando
corrigendoque+, 'by polishing and correcting them.'

5. +partus+, nom. pl., best translated by the English sing., 'the
offspring of...'

6. +reddo+, compound of +re+ and +do+. _R[)e]d_ is used for _re_ in
_red[)a]mo_, _redarguo_, _reddo_, _redeo_, _redhibeo_, _redigo_,
_redimo_, _redoleo_, _redundo_. In composition the _re_ is short except
in ... +r[-e]ligio+ (often spelt _relligio_), +r[-e]liquiae+ (often
spelt _relliquiae_), and the perfects of _r[)e]pello_, _r[)e]perio_,
and _r[)e]fero_, viz., +r[-e]puli+ (or _reppuli_), +r[-e]peri+ (or
_repperi_), and +r[-e]tuli+ (or _rettuli_). +R[-e]fert+, the impersonal
verb, 'it concerns,' is a compound of _res-fert_: _r[)e]fero_, makes 3rd
sing, _r[)e]fert_. +Re+ or _red_ in composition has two principal
meanings, (1) 'back' or 'backward,' as _redeo_, 'I go back,'
(2) 'again,' as _reficio_, 'I make again, repair.' It also frequently
denotes (3) 'duty' or 'obligation,' so _reddo_ here means 'I give as is
due,' 'render.'


II.

1. +Menander+ (342-291 B.C.), an Athenian comic poet, famous as the
model of Roman dramatists, especially Terence.

+Philemon+, also an Athenian comic poet, the contemporary and rival of
Menander.

2. +in certaminibus comoediarum+. In Athens dramas were represented at
the great festivals in honour of Dionysus, at which "every citizen was
present, as a matter of course, from daybreak to sunset" (Donaldson).
Judges were appointed by lot to decide upon the merits of the rival
plays. The successful poet was crowned with ivy, and his name was
proclaimed before the audience.

+ambitus+, 'bribery,' from _ambio_; properly a 'going round' to canvass
for votes, etc., especially by bribery. _Ambitio_, from the same verb,
is used both in this sense and also as 'a desire for power,' etc., our
'ambition.'

4. +quaeso+, used parenthetically like our 'pray!'

+bonâ veniâ+, 'apologizing for the question'; lit. 'with your good
leave...' _i.e._ 'pardon me, but...'

5. +nonne+ introduces a question expecting the answer 'Yes,' e.g. _nonne
erubescis_, 'do you not blush?' +Num+ introduces a question expecting
the answer 'No,' e.g. _num erubescis_, 'you do not blush, do you?' +-ne+
is used when the answer is doubtful, e.g. _erubescisne_, 'do you blush?'

+erubesco+. The termination _-sco_ shows that the verb is inceptive or
inchoative, _i.e._ denotes the beginning (_inceptum_) of an action or
state. Such verbs are always of the 3rd conjugation, and form their
perfects and supines (if they have supines, but in most inceptives the
supine is wanting) from the simple verb or stem from which they spring,
e.g. _pallesco_ (from _palleo_), _pallui_, (no supine), _pallescere_,
I begin to grow pale; _v[)e]t[)e]rasco_ (from old form _v[)e]ter_,
classical _v[)e]tus_, _-[)e]ris_), _-ravi_, no sup., _veterasc[)e]re_,
'I grow old.'


III.

1. +Aristoteles+, the Greek philosopher, was born at Stag[-i]ra, in
Macedonia, 384 B.C. He lived for twenty years at Athens, where he was a
pupil of Plato; afterwards he returned to Macedonia, and became the
tutor of Alexander. When Alexander succeeded to the throne, Aristotle
again went to Athens and taught philosophy for 13 years in the Lyceum,
a gymnasium sacred to Apollo Lyceus. He died in 322 B.C. at Chalcis in
Euboea. Many of his writings upon logic, moral and political philosophy,
natural history, etc., have reached us.

+Plutarchus+ was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia about 50 A.D. He came to
Rome at an early age, and spent many years there and in other parts of
Italy. In his old age he returned to Chaeronea, where he died at an
unknown date. His works were written in Greek: the most famous of them
is the _Parallel Lives_ of forty-six Greeks and Romans, arranged in
pairs, a Greek and a Roman together (_e.g._ Alexander and Caesar,
Demosthenes and Cicero), the life of each pair being followed by a short
discussion of their comparative merits.

+hercle+ is a nominative form; the similar exclamations _mehercules_,
_mehercule_, _mehercle_, _hercules_, _hercule_, and _hercle_ are all
abbreviations for '_me Hercules juvet!_' 'may Hercules help me!' Cf. the
interjectional phrase, '_medius fidius_,' for '_me deus Fidius juvet_',
'so help me the God of Faith!'

2. +si super ...+, the order is '_si imponis magna pondera super lignum
palmae arboris_.'

3. +non deorsum+, the wood does not yield and bend inwards beneath the
weight, but rises up against it and bends outwards.

6. +urgentibus opprimentibusque+, dat. after cedit, 'it does not
yield to....'


IV.

1. +Socrates+ was born at Athens 469 B.C. His father was a statuary, and
in early life Socrates followed the same profession, but he soon
abandoned it and devoted himself entirely to philosophy. He did not
follow the usual custom of giving public lectures or opening a school,
but went about in the city talking to men wherever he met them, and
endeavouring to awake in them a love of true knowledge. By his attacks
upon the popular theories and his free discussion of religious questions
he roused a strong antagonism; at last he was impeached on the three
charges of corrupting the Athenian youth, despising the gods of the
State, and introducing new deities, and was executed by a draught of
hemlock poison, 399 B.C. He left no written works, so that our knowledge
of him is derived from the writings of his pupils and contemporaries,
chiefly Plato and Xenophon.

3. +iris ... scatebat+, lit. 'bubbled over with,' 'overflowed with ...'
Cf. Hor. _Od._ iii. 27, 26, '_scatentem beluis pontum_,' 'the ocean
teeming with monsters'; and Aulus Gellius, _N. A._ l. 15, uses '_scatere
verbis_.'

+quam rem ... demiratus+, 'having expressed his astonishment at this
fact to her husband Socrates.'

4. +Alcibiades+, 450-404 B.C., was a brilliant but unprincipled Athenian
statesman, who became famous during the Peloponnesian war. He enjoyed
the friendship of Socrates, was saved by Socrates at the battle of
Potidaea, 432 B.C., and saved the life of Socrates at the battle of
Delium, 424 B.C.

5. +[)a]cerbum+, _[)a]cer-bus_ from _[-a]cer_, as _s[)u]per-bus_ from
_s[)u]per_. Usually words retain the quantity of the word from which
they are derived, but there are many exceptions, e.g. _h[)o]mo_ and
_h[-u]manus_, _n[-o]tus_ and _cog-n[)i]tus_, so _rex_, gen. _r[-e]gis_,
but _r[)e]go_, _dux_, gen. _d[)u]cis_, but _d[-u]co_.

7. +insuesco+. Cf. note on _erubesco_, ii. 5.

+exerceor+, in a middle sense, 'I exercise myself.' Cf. _faciunt idem,
cum exercentur, athletae_ (Cic. _Tusc._ ii. 23, 56), 'athletes do the
same when they exercise themselves.' Many Latin passives have thus a
'middle' force; cf. _vertor_, I turn myself; _lavor_, I wash myself; and
the deponents _glorior_, I boast myself; _vescor_, I feed myself, etc.

8. +ut ... feram+, 'so that I bear more easily.' _Ut_ used in a
consecutive sense, _i.e._ denoting the consequence or result.


V.

1. +corporis firmandi causâ+, '(undergone) for the sake of strengthening
his body'--the gerundive attraction. Cf. note xiii. 1.

3. +ad solem alterum orientem+, 'till the next sunrise.' _Sol oriens_ is
used for sunrise, _i.e._ the rising of the sun, as '_summus mons_' for
'the top of the mountain,' _Caesar mortuus_ for 'the death of Caesar,'
etc.

5. +tanquam ... facto+, lit. a certain withdrawal, as it were, of mind
and feeling from the body having taken place, _i.e._ 'mind and feeling
having, as it were, left his body.' He stood in seeming unconsciousness.
_Animus_, when contrasted with _mens_, is the mind as the seat of the
passions, etc.; _mens_ the higher reasoning faculty, the intellect.

9. +valitudine integra+, the abl. absolute, 'in unimpaired health.'

_Ablative Absolute_, 'absolute' (_absolutus_, fr. _ab·solvo_,
'I release') here means 'released' from government by any word in the
principal sentence.

The construction is one of many varieties of the adverbial ablative;
_e.g._ the abl. of time, the abl. of place where, the abl. of manner,
etc.; but it differs from these ablatives--

(1) In being equivalent to a complete clause, e.g. _Caesar hoc dixit,
convocatis militibus_ is equivalent to _cum milites convocati essent_.

(2) Or, to express the same fact in another way, it consists of two
words each in the ablative, one of which stands to the other in the
relation of predicate to subject; the 'subject' being a substantive or
pronoun, the 'predicate' a participle, adjective, substantive, or, more
rarely, a pronoun.

_Exceptions:_ But (_a_) sometimes the subject is not expressed, and a
participle is used impersonally by itself in the abl. absol.--the
participle here being equivalent to a clause containing an impersonal
verb, e.g. _mihi_, _errato_, _nulla venia_, 'there is no pardon for me,
if I blunder' (_errato = si erratum erit a me_).

(_b_) Sometimes a whole clause is substituted for the abl. of the
'subject': e.g. _excepto quod non simul esses, cetera laetus_, 'happy in
all respects, except the fact that you were not with me' (lit. 'the fact
that you were not with me being excepted').

_Examples:_ (1) Subst. and participle, _Tullio regnante vixerunt_, 'they
lived whilst Tullius was king.' (2) Subst. and adj., _Hannibale vivo
Romani semper Poenos timuerunt_, 'the Romans always feared the
Carthaginians whilst Hannibal lived.' (3) Subst. and subst., _Nil
desperandum Teucro duce_, 'there is no cause for despair whilst Teucer
is our leader.' (4) Subst. and pron., _quid hoc populo obtineri potest_,
'what can be maintained with such a people as this?' (5) Pron. and
participle, _eis occisis ceteri domum redierunt_, 'when those men had
been slain the rest returned home.' (6) Pron. and adj., _me invito id
fecit_, 'he did it contrary to my wishes.' (7) Pron. and subst., _eo
rege tuti erant_, 'they were safe whilst he was king.'

_Note._--(1) The abl. absolute sometimes expresses merely time (_e.g._
_inita aestate_, 'at the beginning of summer'), but more often attendant
circumstances, or cause.

(2) The abl. absol. cannot be used when the 'subject' of the clause is
the same as the subject or object of the principal clause. This rule is
sometimes, but rarely, violated.

(3) In Greek the genitive is the absolute case: in most modern languages
the nom. is thus used: but the acc. is sometimes used absolutely in
German, and in Old English the accusative (representing the dative of
Anglo-Saxon) was used absolutely. Milton uses both nom. and acc.: cf.
"Us dispossessed," _Par. L._, vii. 140; "I extinct," id. ix. 994.

10. +pestilentia+, the famous plague of Athens, which raged during the
second and third years of the +Peloponnesian war+. This was a war
between Athens with her allies and Sparta with her allies, which lasted
for 28 years, from 431 to 404 B.C., and ended in the defeat of Athens
and the loss of her maritime supremacy.


VI.

1. +Alexander III+. (356-323 B.C.), surnamed the Great, ascended the
throne of Macedonia on the death of his father Philip, 336 B.C. In the
13 years of his reign he conquered the greater part of Eastern Europe
and Asia Minor, and marched even into Northern India and Egypt. The
incident here mentioned happened in his Indian campaign. In 327 he
crossed the Indus, entered the Punjaub, defeated and captured the Indian
king Porus in a great battle on the banks of the Hydaspes, and founded
there two towns--Bucephalon and Nicaea. He continued his progress as far
as the banks of the Hyphasis, but here his wearied troops mutinied and
refused to advance any further.

+B[-u]c[)e]ph[)a]l[-a]s+ (#boukephalas#, #bous kephalê#), 'ox-head,' so
called from the breadth of its forehead.

2. +emptum+, 'Chares has stated that it was bought for 13 talents.'
_talentis_, abl. of price.

+Chares+ was an officer at Alexander's court, who wrote a series of
anecdotes about the life and exploits of the king.

3. +hoc autem+, the order _is hoc est nostri aeris summa trecenta
duodecim sestertia_, 'this is in (lit. of) our money the sum (of) 312
sestertia.' Sestertium = 1,000 sestertii, about £8 at this time.
Therefore 312 sestertia = £312 x 8 = £2,496. For _sestertium_ cf.
xxxiii. 2.

6. +haud unquam+, etc., 'it never allowed itself to be mounted by any
one except the king.'

8. +faceret+, subj. after _cum_.

_Cum_ (= when), like other temporal conjunctions, takes as a rule the
indic. mood; but the subj. is required when the time of the _cum_ clause
is regarded as depending on the time of the principal clause. This is
usually the case in past time, hence the rule is that _cum_ in past time
requires the imperf. or plup. subj., unless (1) it is used in a
frequentative sense, _e.g._ 'as often as' (but later writers, _e.g._
Livy, often use the subj. even in this sense), e.g. _cum palam ejus
anuli ad palmam converterat, a nullo videbatur_ (Cic. _Off._), 'as often
as he turned the bezel of that ring to his palm, he was seen by no one,'
cf. xiv. 7, _id cum dixerat_, 'as often as he had said that'; (2) it is
simply equivalent to _et tum_, e.g. _castra ibi posita, cum subito
advenere Samnitium legiones_ (Livy), 'the camp had been pitched there,
when the Samnite legions suddenly arrived'; (3) the two clauses mark
strictly contemporaneous events, _tum_ being often added in the
principal clause to mark this fact, e.g. _vos tum paruistis cum paruit
nemo_ (Cic. _p. Lig._ 7), 'you were obedient at a time when no one
(else) was obedient.'

9. +non satis sibi providens+, 'without sufficient forethought.'

+inmisit+ used absolutely, _i.e._ without an object; this, if expressed,
would be '_equum_,' 'spurred it forward against.'

11. +moribundus+. The termination _bundus_, or _cundus_, denotes
fulness, e.g. _vagabundus_, 'wandering'; _iracundus_, 'wrathful.' Cf.
_L. Primer_, p. 58, § 70 E.

12. +e mediis hostibus+, 'from the midst of the enemy.' In many phrases
the adj. is used in Latin where in English we use a subst. with another
subst. depending on it, and _vice versa_: e.g. _summus mons_, 'the top
of the mountain'; but _animi dolor_, 'mental pain'; cf. v. 3, _sol
oriens_.

14. +domini iam superstitis securus+, 'relieved from anxiety for its
master, now safe.' For the genitive _domini_ after _securus_, cf.
_s[-e]c[-u]r[)a] f[)u]t[-u]ri_, Ovid; _s[-e]c[-u]rus p[)e]l[)a]gi atque
mei_, Verg.


VII.

1. +Alcibiades+. Cf. iv. 4. note.

+Pericles+ was a great Athenian statesman. He was born about 490 B.C.
(the year of the battle of Marathon), and first took part in public
affairs in 469, when Athens was beginning to develop rapidly after the
Persian wars. From this time till his death in 429 he was the recognised
leader of the democratic party. Under his guidance Athens became the
most powerful state and the most beautiful city in Greece.

+[)a]vunc[)u]lus+ (deminutive of _[)a]vus_, a grandfather) is an uncle
on the mother's side--a mother's brother; _p[)a]truus_ (_p[)-a]ter_), an
uncle on the father's side--a father's brother.

3. +puerum docendum curavit+, 'had the boy educated.' This use of the
gerundive in a final sense, as '+an oblique predicate+' with the direct
object of certain transitive verbs, e.g. _curo_, _do_, _suscipio_, etc.,
is common in Latin writers, especially Caesar. Cf. _pontem faciendum
curavit_, 'he had a bridge made'; _agros eis habitandos dedit_, 'he gave
them lands to dwell in'; _me dandum ad bestias curavit_ (xxx.), 'he had
me given to the wild beasts.' Cf. Note xiii. 1. iv., on the Gerundive.

4. +canere tibiis+, 'to play on the pipes.' Both Greeks and Romans
usually played on a double pipe, composed of two instruments not unlike
flageolets, joined at the mouth-piece, and spreading out in the form of
a V; hence the plural _tibiae_. _Tibia_ means originally the shin bone,
and then a musical instrument, pipes or flutes being at first made of
bone.


VIII.

1. +C. Fabricius+ Lusc[-i]nus was one of the most popular heroes in
Roman history. He was regarded as the type of the old-fashioned honest
warrior, who was proof against the luxury and corruption of the rising
generation. In his first consulship, 282 B.C., he defeated the
Lucanians, Bruttians, and Samnites; in 280-278 B.C. he served with
distinction against Pyrrus (cf. xxvii.).

The +Samnites+ were a powerful people living to the east of Rome. The
Romans first came into contact with them in 343 B.C.; for 50 years there
was war between the two nations; at last the Samnites were conquered,
but they still maintained their love of freedom, and once more proved
formidable opponents to Rome in the Social War, 90 B.C.

2. +memoratis ... rebus+, abl. absolute, 'after mentioning the many
great services which he had rendered (_rebus quae bene fecisset_) to the
Samnites after the restoration of peace....'

3. +post redditam pacem+. _Pax reddita_, 'the restoration of peace.' Cf.
_sol oriens_, 'the rising of the sun,' v. 3. note.

4. +dono+, as a gift, the predicative dative, or dative of purpose used
as a complement. Cf. Hor. _exitio est avidum mare nautis_, 'the greedy
sea is [as] a destruction to sailors.'

11. +quâ+, abl. after _usus_, 'for which I have no use.'


IX.

1. +Hannibal+, the famous general of the Carthaginians in the second
Punic war, was born in 247 B.C. In 218 he began his march from Spain
into Italy, crossed the Alps, and defeated the Romans in N. Italy on the
Ticinus and the Trebia; then followed the great victories at Lake
Trasimenus, 217, and Cannae, 216. In 203 Hannibal was compelled to
return to Africa to oppose Scipio, who had defeated the Carthaginian
troops and their ally Syphax. A decisive battle was fought at Zama,
October 19th, 202, in which Scipio gained a great victory over Hannibal.
In the following year peace was made. Hannibal now set to work to
prepare Carthage for a fresh struggle, but his political enemies
denounced his designs to the Romans, and he was compelled in 193 B.C. to
take refuge at the court of +Antiochus+ the Great, King of Syria, who
was on the eve of war with Rome. On the defeat of Antiochus the
surrender of Hannibal was made one of the conditions of peace; but he
fled to Prusias, King of Bithynia, 188 B.C. The Romans still pursued
him, and sent messengers to Prusias demanding his surrender. Fearing
that Prusias would be unable to resist this demand, and not knowing
whither to flee to escape the vengeance of his enemies, he took poison,
183 B.C.

2. +ingentis+. The acc. pl. of _-i_ nouns of the 3rd decl. varies in the
mss. between _-[-i]s_, _-eis_, and _[-e]s_. All three forms seem to have
been used till the Augustan age, after which period the form in _-es_
prevailed. A nom. pl. also in _-is_ and _-eis_ is found sometimes in the
mss. of Plautus and Lucretius and in old inscriptions.

+populo Romano+, dat. of the 'Remoter Object' after _facturus_, the
'nearer object' being _bellum_.

4. +currus cum falcibus+. The wheels of these chariots were armed with
projecting scythes or hooks, which kept the enemy at a distance, or cut
them down, as the charioteers drove at full speed through their ranks.
These war chariots were in use among the Assyrians, Persians, Medes, and
Syrians in Asia, and in Europe among the Gauls and Britons. Some have
supposed that these are the 'chariots of iron' referred to in the books
of Joshua and Judges; but Xenophon (_Cyrop._, vi. i. 30) says that
'scythe chariots' were not introduced into Asia Minor till the time of
Cyrus.

5. +elephantos cum turribus+, small turrets placed on the backs of the
elephants, and carrying a few soldiers.

6. +frenis+. The bits were sometimes made of silver and gold, and the
bridles decorated with jewels, etc.

+ephippiis+. The saddles in use among Eastern nations, the Greeks and
the Romans, consisted sometimes of a mere skin or cloth, sometimes of a
wooden frame, upon which padded cloth, etc., was stretched; from either
side cloths hung down, often dyed with bright colours, and decorated
with fringes, etc.

+monilibus+, necklets used as ornaments for horses, as well as for men
and women.

+phaleris+, bosses of metal attached as ornaments to the harness of
horses and the armour of men. They were sometimes hung as pendants to
the horse's saddle, and jangled loudly as it charged forward against the
enemy. For these military ornaments cf. the well-known passage in
Verg.,_ Aen._ vii. 276--

  _Omnibus extemplo Teucris jubet ordine duci_
  _Instratos ostro alipedes pictisque tapetis;_
  _Aurea pectoribus demissa monilia pendent;_
  _Tecti auro, fulvum mandunt sub dentibus aurum._

7. +putasne+. Cf. ii. 5. note.

8. +Poenus+ (_Poen[)i]cus_ or _P[-u]n[)i]cus_), properly Phoenician, but
applied by Roman writers especially to the inhabitants of Carthage,
which was founded about 850 B.C. by Phoenician colonists, who came
probably from Tyre.


X.

1. +Milo+ was the most famous wrestler in Greece; he was six times
victor in wrestling at the Olympic games and seven times at the Pythian
games. Many stories are told about his great strength: he is said to
have carried a heifer four years old on his shoulders through the
stadium (or race course, a distance of about 40 yards), to have then
killed it with a blow of his fist, and eaten the whole of it the same
day. He was a pupil of the great philosopher Pythagoras, at Crotona. One
day the pillar on which the roof of the school rested suddenly gave way,
but Milo supported the whole weight of the building, and gave the
philosopher and his disciples time to escape.

+Crotona+ was a Greek city on the S.E. coast of Italy, founded 740 B.C.
by the Achaeans. It became the most important city in S. Italy, owing to
its trade with the E. Mediterranean. It attained its greatest power in
510 by the defeat of its neighbour and rival Sybaris: on this occasion
Milo commanded the army of Crotona.

+Crotoniensis+. Note the use of the adj. where we employ a subst. and
prep., 'Milo of Crotona'; so _pugna Cannensis_ (xl. 1.), 'the Battle of
Cannae,' etc.

3. +artem athleticam desisset+, 'had given up athletics.' The acc. after
_desino_ is rare, and chiefly poetical; but Cicero (_Fam._ vii. 1. 4)
uses _artem desinere_.

5. +rimis in parte mediâ hiantem+, lit. 'gaping open with cracks in the
middle.'

6. +an ullae ... adessent+. _Adessent_ is the subj. after the dependent
interrogative word _an_; the construction is called the Indirect or
Dependent Question, _Interrogatio Obliqua_. Thus 'who are you?' is
'_quis es?_' but 'I ask you who you are' is '_interrogo quis sis_.'

+ullae+. _Quisquam_ (pronoun) and _ullus_ (adjective) are used for 'any'
in comparative and negative sentences, in questions expecting the answer
No, and in hypothetical sentences.

11. +rediit in naturam+, 'returned to its natural (_i.e._ former)
position.'

12. +feris+, dat. after _praebuit_, 'gave the man to the beasts to tear
to pieces.' For this use of the gerundive cf. xiii. 1. note.


XI.

1. +Romae+, 'at Rome,' the locative case. This case, which had almost
died out in classical Latin, originally ended in _-i_ for the singular
and _-s_ for the plural. In some forms it still survived, viz., (1) in
such words as _militiae_ (earlier _militiai_), _belli_, 'in the field,'
'at the war'; _domi_, at home; _humi_, 'on the ground'; _vesperi_ (or
_-e_), 'in the evening'; _ruri_, 'in the country'; _luci_, 'in the
light'; and the adverbs _ubi_, 'in which place'; _ibi_, 'in that place,'
etc.; (2) in the names of towns--_Romae_ (earlier _Romai_), 'at Rome';
_Tarenti_, 'at Tarentum'; _Carthagini_ (or _Carthagine_), 'at Carthage,'
etc.; (3) in such phrases as _animi angor_, 'I am vexed in mind';
_maturus aevi_, 'advanced in age,' etc.

+Curiam+. The word Curia is connected with C[)u]res, the chief town of
the Sabines, and Qu[)i]r[-i]tes (or C[)u]r[-i]tes), the inhabitants of
C[)u]res. It originally denoted one of the 30 divisions into which the
Romans and Sabines were divided when they united in one community. The
word was then applied to the building used for the religious service of
a Curia, and afterwards especially to the building in which the Senate
met.

2. +praetextatis+, _i.e._ wearing the _toga praetexta_, a white toga
with a broad purple border, worn under the Republic by the higher
magistrates, by persons engaged in paying vows, and by free-born
children. It is said to have been adopted from the Etruscans, and made
the royal robe by Tullus Hostilius; and to have been worn with the
_bulla_ by boys after the reign of Tarquinius Priscus, whose son at the
age of fourteen slew an enemy with his own hand in the Sabine war, and
was allowed as a reward to wear the royal robe.

+maior+, more important than usual.

4. +placuitque ut eam rem ne quis...+. 'It was resolved that no one
should mention the matter until a decision had been arrived at' (lit.
until it had been decreed).

+ut ... ne quis+, or _ne quis_, 'that no one,' is always used in a final
sentence instead of _ut nemo_; so _ne quid_, _ne ullus_, and _ne
unquam_, instead of _ut nihil_, _ut nullus_, _ut nunquam_. The
indefinite pronoun _quis_ is, as a rule, used for 'any' or 'some' in
relative sentences, and after _si_, _nisi_, _num_, _ne_, and _cum_; but
_aliquis_ is sometimes found after _si_, more rarely after _ne_.

5. +decreta esset+. The subj. is required, because this is a dependent
sentence forming part of the _Oratio Obliqua_ after _placuit_.

7. +egissent+, subj. after the dependent interrogative _quidnam_. Cf.
x. 6. note. For the same reason _videretur_, line 11, is in subj.

9. +lepidi mendacii consilium capit+, 'bethought himself of an amusing
falsehood.'

10. +utrum ... unusne ... an...+. The _-ne_ is 'pleonastic,' _i.e._ more
than is required, for the sentence would be complete without it--_utrum
videretur utilius ut unus ... an (videretur utilius) ut una...._ This
idiom is chiefly ante-classical (found often in Plautus), but Cicero
uses it, '_est etiam illa distinctio, utrum illudne non videatur aegre
ferendum ... an ..._' (Cic. _Tusc._ iv. 27, 59). Translate 'He said the
Senate had discussed whether it seemed more useful and advantageous to
the State that one man should have two wives, or that one woman should
be married to two men.'


XII.

3. +matrum familias+, gen. plur. of _mater familias_. When _familia_ is
compounded with _pater_, _mater_, _filius_, and _filia_, the old gen.
sing. _famili_+as+ is usually found, but _familiae_ also is frequently
used by Cicero and other writers, by Livy always. In Sallust and later
writers even _patres familiarum_ is found.

4. +una potius ... duae+. The order is _ut una (uxor) nupta fieret
duobus viris potius quam ut duae (uxores nuptae fierent) uni (viro)_.

6. +esset, vellet+, subj. after the dept. interrogatives _quae_ and
_quid_; so +institisset+ and +dixisset+. Cf. x. 6. note.

+quid sibi postulatio istaec vellet+, 'what that demand of theirs
meant.' _Quid sibi res vult_, 'what does the thing mean?' lit. 'what
does it wish for itself?' 'what is its object or drift?' so _quid tibi
vis_, 'what do you mean, or want?' and, more rarely, _quid mihi volo_,
'what do I mean, or want?'


XIII.

1. +Sertorius+ was a Roman general, who first distinguished himself in
Gaul. On the outbreak of civil war in 88 B.C. between Marius and Sulla
he joined the former. At first the Sullan party were victorious, but
when their leader went to the East to fight against Mitridates they were
defeated, and from 87-82 the Marian party were supreme. In 83 (or,
according to another writer, 82) Sertorius was sent to Spain as governor
in the Marian interest. Finding himself unable to hold his ground
against the Sullan generals, he crossed to Africa, and gained various
successes there. The Lusitani, who inhabited the western part of the
Spanish peninsula, then invited him to become their leader against the
Romans. He returned with a small force of 2,600 men, one third of whom
were Libyans, and then by his extraordinary influence over the natives,
and his great powers of organisation, succeeded in forming an army which
for years set at defiance every effort made by the generals of the
Sullan party, which was now in the ascendant. In 76 Pompeius was sent to
Spain with a large army to reinforce the Sullan generals, but for five
years more Sertorius held his ground. At last, in 72 B.C., he was
assassinated by Perperna and other of his own Roman officers, who were
jealous of his power.

+et utendi et regendi exercitus+, the gerundial attraction. When an
object is expressed after a gerund, the construction called the
gerundial, or +gerundival attraction+ is preferred. In this construction
the object is attracted (if it differs) into the case of the gerund, and
the gerund, taking adjectival inflections (and then called the
gerundive), is made to agree adjectivally with the object in number and
gender.

Examples:--

  _a._ The Acc., _praemisit milites ad Gallos insequendos_, 'he sent
  the soldiers forward to pursue the Gauls.'

  _b._ The Gen., _causâ urbis delendae_, 'for the sake of destroying
  the city.'

  _c._ The Dat., _bello gerendo me praefecistis_, 'you placed me in
  command of the management of the war.'

  _d._ The Abl., _in vestigiis persequendis operam consumpsi_,
  'I spent labour in following their tracks.'

The Gerundival Attraction is of course only used with transitive verbs
which govern a direct object in the acc. case. The words _fungor_,
_fruor_, _utor_, _vescor_, _potior_ are exceptions; they are used both
in this construction and in the constructions explained in ii. and iii.
below, because they were originally transitive, and governed an acc.

The +gerunds+ and +gerundives+ are the substantival and adjectival forms
respectively of a participle in _-ndus_. Under the gerund are included
the substantival forms in _-ndum, -ndi, -ndo_; under the gerundive the
full adjectival declension in _-ndus, a, um_, etc.

+The uses of the gerund and gerundive+ may be divided under four
headings.

i. By its oblique cases the gerund (and the gerundive in the
construction mentioned above--the 'gerundival attraction') completes the
active infinite verb noun, which is only used in the nom. and acc., e.g.
_haec ad iudicandum sunt facillima_, 'these matters are very easy to
decide'; _amor agendi, canendi_, etc., 'love of acting, singing,' etc.;
_causâ agendi_, 'for the sake of acting'; _aqua utilis bibendo_, 'water
useful for drinking'; _mens alitur discendo_, 'the mind is nourished by
learning.'

ii. The nom. (and in _oratio obliqua_ the acc.) of the gerund is used
intransitively with parts of the verb _sum_ (_est_, _erat_, _fuit_,
_esse_, etc.), as an impersonal verb to denote necessity, duty, or
suitability, e.g. _nunc est bibendum_, 'now it is right to drink',
_eundum est_, 'there is a necessity to go'; _parendum est legibus_, 'it
is necessary to be obedient to the laws.' The person on whom the duty
falls is expressed by the dat. case, the 'Dative of the Agent,' except
after verbs which govern a dative; after these, to avoid ambiguity, the
agent is expressed by _a_ or _ab_ with the abl., e.g. _eundum est mihi_,
'I must go,' but _parendum est ei a te_, 'you must obey him'.

iii. The gerundive is used (1) personally as a verb, usually with a
passive signification, e.g. _aqua bibenda est_, 'water ought to be
drunk'; (2) as a mere epithet, e.g. _ridenda poemata_, 'poems to be
laughed at.'

iv. The acc. of the gerundive is used in a final sense as an oblique
predicate, or complement, agreeing with the direct object of certain
transitive verbs--_curo_, _do_, _suscipio_, _habeo_, etc., e.g. _Caesar
pontem faciendum curavit_, 'Caesar had a bridge made'; _agros eis
habitandos dedit_, 'he gave them the lands to dwell in.' Cf. vii. 3.
note.

8. +usui+, predicative dative or dat. of purpose. Cf. _dono_, viii. 4.
note.

+memoria+, etc. The order is _memoria prodita est neminem ex his
nationibus, quae cum S. faciebant_ ('who served with Sertorius'), _cum
multis proeliis superatus esset_ ('although he had been defeated in many
battles'), _unquam ab eo descivisse_.


9. _neminem._ The gen. of this word, _neminis_, is only found in writers
before Cicero, the abl. _nemine_ in late writers (_e.g._ Tacitus and
Suetonius), and once in Plautus; the plural is not used. Hence we have

  Nom.,  _nemo_,              _nulli_, etc.
  Acc.,  _neminem_,           _nullos_, etc.
  Gen.,  _nullius_,           _nullorum_, etc.
  Dat.,  _nemini_,            _nullis_.
  Abl.,  _nullo_ or _nullâ_,  _nullis_.


XIV.

1. +alba+. _Albus_ is a dull white as opposed to _ater_, dull black;
_candidus_, shining white, opposed to _niger_, shining black.

+eximiae pulchritudinis et celeritatis+, genitives of quality.

2. +dono+, predicative dat., or dat. of purpose. Cf. _dono_, viii. 4.
note.

5. +factu+, the supine in _-u_, used as an abl. of respect. Cf. _foedum
dictu est_, 'it is horrible to state' (lit. 'in the saying'), and
xxiv. 2, _utilia monitu suasuque_.

+quid+, the indef. pron.; so _cui_, line 13. For its use after _si_ cf.
xi. 4. note.

7. +dixerat+, indic. after _cum_ in a frequentative sense, 'whenever he
had said that.' Cf. vi. 8. note.

10. +in fugam se proripuit+, 'took to hasty flight.'

18. +consuerat+, indic., because it is not part of what Sertorius said,
but a statement made by the author.

+quod opus esset facto+, 'what had to be done.' _Facto_ is the abl. of
the perf. part. pass.; for this use cf. _maturato, properato opus est_,
'there is need of haste'; and the similar construction with the abl. of
the supine, _dictu opus est_ (Terence), 'it is necessary to speak';
_quod scitu opus est_ (Cicero), 'what has to be known.'


XV.


+Tarquinius Superbus+, according to tradition, was the seventh and last
of the Roman kings (535-510 B.C.), the others being Romulus, Numa
Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Martius, Tarquinius Priscus, Servius
Tullius.

1. +Libris Sibyllinis+. Little is known about the famous Sibylline
books. They were probably derived from Cumae in Campania, the seat of a
celebrated oracle. At Rome they were kept in a stone chest (_sacrarium_)
beneath the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, under the charge of certain
officers (_quindecimviri_), and consulted only by the special command of
the Senate. In 82 B.C. this temple was burnt and the books destroyed.
A fresh collection of oracles was made by ambassadors sent to the chief
cities of Italy, Greece, and Asia Minor. When the temple was rebuilt
these were deposited in the same place, but many spurious prophetic
books, purporting to be Sibylline oracles, seem to have got into
circulation at Rome, and several revisions of the books were ordered
from time to time. Christian writers frequently appeal to the Sibylline
oracles as containing prophecies of the Messiah.

2. +hospita+, feminine form of _hospes_. Cf. _antistes_ and _sacerdos_,
priest, _antistita_ and _sacerdota_ (in inscriptions), priestess,
_sospes_ and _sospita_, saviour, etc.

4. +eos velle vendere+, '(she said) that she wished to sell them.'

6. +nimium atque inmensum+, 300 pieces of gold, according to one form of
the legend.

+quasi ... desiperet+. _Quasi_, 'as if,' introducing a statement which
is not a fact, naturally governs the subj., 'as if she were mad' (but
she was not). In sentences of comparison introduced by such conjunctions
as _tanquam_, _ceu_, _quasi_, _velut_, etc., the subj. is usually found,
because the statement is usually not true; but when the statement is a
fact the indic. is employed, e.g. _Fuit olim, quasi nunc ego sum, senex_
(Plautus). Frequently _quasi_, etc., are used, not as conjunctions
introducing the sentence, but adverbially with a single word; in such
cases they do not affect the mood, e.g. _servis respublica et quasi
civitas domus est_ (_Pl. Ep._ viii. 16), 'to slaves their home is a
state, and, as it were, a city.' Cf. xviii. 5, _quasi consultans cum
Jove_.

7. +foculum+. _F[)o]c[)u]lus_, deminutiveof _f[)o]cus_ (a hearth). Cf.
_r[)i]v[)u]lus_, a rivulet, and _rivus_, a river.

9. +vellet+, subj. after the dependent interrogative _ecquid_. Cf. x. 6.
note.

10. +sed enim+, 'but indeed.' Cf. the use of #allà gàr# in Greek.

14. +ore ... fit+, 'now becomes serious and more attentive' (lit. 'of a
serious countenance and more attentive mind'). _Ore_ and _animo_ are
ablatives of quality.

19. +nusquam loci+, 'nowhere in the world.' The genitives _loci_,
_locorum_, _gentium_ and _terrarum_ are frequently used with adverbs of
place--_ubi_, _quo_, _unde_, _usquam_, _nusquam_, etc., e.g. _ubi
terrarum sumus_ (Cic.), 'where on earth are we?'


XVI.

1. +Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Maior+ was born in 234 B.C. He is
first mentioned in 218 B.C. at the battle of the Ticinus (cf. ix. 1.
note), in which he is said to have saved the life of his father P.
Scipio. He fought at Cannae, 216, and was chosen with App. Claudius to
command the remains of the Roman army after that great disaster. In 212
he was unanimously elected aedile. When the tribunes objected to the
election, because he was under the legal age, he replied, 'If all the
Quirites wish to make me aedile, I am old enough.' In 210, at the age of
twenty-four, he was appointed to command the army in Spain, having come
forward as a candidate for the post which all the old generals feared to
accept. By 207 he had conquered almost the whole of that country from
the Carthaginians. In 205 he was elected consul. He was anxious to cross
over to Africa and end the war by a blow at Carthage itself, but the
Senate, partly from jealousy, partly from timidity, opposed his plans
and would only grant him the province of Sicily, with power to cross
over to Africa if he thought it in the interests of the State; but this
permission they endeavoured to render useless by refusing him an army.
Volunteers however flocked from every part of Italy to his standard, and
in 204 he was able to land in Africa with a large force. In 203 he
defeated Hasdrubal and his ally Syphax, and in 202 brought the second
Punic war to an end by a great victory at Zama over Hannibal, who had
been recalled from Italy. In 201 peace was made, and Scipio, returning
to Rome, received the agnomen Africanus, and was overwhelmed with every
mark of honour. In 190 he served as legate under his brother, +Lucius
Scipio Asiaticus+, in the war against Antiochus (cf. ix. and xvii.) On
their return the accusations mentioned in xvi. and xvii. were made
against the brothers. In 185 Scipio retired into private life, and died
soon afterwards, probably in 183.

1. +tribunus plebis+. The tribuni plebis were appointed in 494, after
the secession to Mons Sacer, to protect the plebeians against the
patrician magistrates. At first they were two in number, afterwards they
were increased to ten.

3. +ut condicionibus+, etc., 'that peace might be made with him (_i.e._
Antiochus) on favourable conditions in the name of the Roman people.'

7. +diem esse hodiernum+, 'that this is the day on which ...' (lit.
'that it is to-day on which ...').

9. +proelio+. The battle of Zama, Oct. 19th, 202 B.C.

11. +simus+, 'let us not be ungrateful therefore to the gods....'

12. +censeo+, used parenthetically, 'I propose.' Cf. _quaeso_, ii. 4.

13. +gratulatum+, the supine in _-um_, used to express purpose after the
verb of motion, _eamus_.

17. +aedes+, in sing., a 'temple' (a single room), in the plur., a
'house' (a collection of rooms). As distinguished from _templum_,
_aedes_ is a simple building without division into rooms; _templum_ is a
large edifice consisting of many rooms, consecrated by the augurs, and
belonging often to several deities.

18. +sollemni+. _Sollemnis_, from _sollus_ (cf. #holos#, _salvus_),
whole; prop. taking place every year, 'established,' especially of
festivals; then, with the religious force predominating, 'religious,'
'festive,' 'solemn.'


XVII.

2. +M. Porcius Cato+, known as the Censor (234-149), first distinguished
himself in the second Punic war; in 204-3 he served as Quaestor to
Scipio Africanus in Sicily and Africa. From this time forward he became
the declared enemy of the Scipios and their friends, who were
introducing, he said, into Rome the luxury and refinement of degenerate
Greece and ruining the simple and honest Roman character. He served with
distinction in Spain, 195-4, and against Antiochus, 191. In 184 he was
censor, and applied himself strenuously, but in vain, to stem the tide
of Greek luxury. He was one of the ambassadors sent to Africa to
arbitrate between Masinissa and the Carthaginians, and was so struck by
the flourishing condition of Carthage, that on his return he insisted
that, whilst that city existed, Rome would never be safe. Whenever he
was called upon for his vote in the Senate, whatever the subject before
the house was, he always concluded his remarks by 'And I further am of
opinion that Carthage must be destroyed (_delendam esse Carthaginem_).'
The third Punic war, which broke out soon after his death, was largely
due to his influence.

5. +L. Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus+ served under his brother Africanus in
Spain, and in 190 defeated Antiochus at Mount Sipylus. Cf. xvi. 1.

3. +comparati in eum+. _Comparare hominem in aliquem_ is the regular
phrase for procuring a man to attack another. 'Having been set upon
him....'

4. +pecuniae ... rationem redderet+, 'to give an account of the money
paid by Antiochus, and the spoil....'

9. +allatum+, i.e. _dixit librum allatum esse_, 'he said that it had
been brought.'

10. +aerarium+, the public treasury at Rome, in which, besides the State
treasure, the standards of the legions and copies of all decrees of the
Senate were kept. After the expulsion of the kings the Temple of Saturn,
at the head of the Forum, was used for this purpose.

10. +sed enim+, 'but indeed.' Cf. xv. 10.

11. +nec me ipse afficiam contumeliâ+, 'nor will I insult myself with my
own lips (_ipse_).'

12. +coram+, 'before their eyes.'

13. +quod cui+. The order is _quod ab eo ratio praedae posceretur, cui
salus ... deberet_, 'indignant that an account of the booty was demanded
from a man, to whom the safety of the State and constitution ought to be
ascribed.'

_Acceptum aliquid referre alicui_, lit. 'to put down a thing as received
to a man's account,' 'to credit him with it'; a metaphor from banking.


XVIII.

2. +Scipio Africanus+ "was unquestionably one of the greatest men of
Rome, and he acquired at an early age the confidence and admiration of
his countrymen. His enthusiastic mind led him to believe that he was a
special favourite of the gods; and he never engaged in any public or
private business without first going to the Capitol, where he sat some
time alone, enjoying communication from the gods. For all he proposed or
executed he alleged the divine approval; and the Roman people gave
credit to his assertions, and regarded him as a being almost superior to
the common race of men. There can be no doubt that Scipio believed
himself in the divine revelations, which he asserted to have been
vouchsafed to him, and the extraordinary success which attended all his
enterprises must have deepened this belief."--Smith's _Classical
Dictionary_.

3. +noctis extremo+, 'at the end of night.' The neuter _extremum_ is
used as a substantive, meaning 'the end.' Cf. _extremo anni_, Livy,
xxxv. 11. 1; _sub extremum noctis_, Sil. 4. 88.

4. +ventitare+. _Ventito_ is the frequentative form of _venio_.
Frequentative or iterative verbs denote repeated action: they are of the
first conjugation, and formed by adding _-to_, _-so_, _-ito_, or _-itor_
to the supine stem, or, more rarely, to the clipt stem, as _can-to_,
'I sing often'; _cur-so_, 'I run often'; _rog-ito_, 'I ask often';
_min-itor_, 'I threaten often'; _haes-ito_, 'I stick fast.' Sometimes
one frequentative verb is formed from another, as _cant-ito_ from
_canto_.

+ac iubere ... Iovis+, 'and to order the temple of Jupiter to be
opened.'

5. +quasi consultans+. Cf. xv. 6. note.

7. +id temporis+. For this 'genitive of the thing measured,' depending
on a neuter pronoun, expressing quantity, hence often called the
'partitive genitive,' cf. _aliquid veri, falsi_; _id aetatis_; _nihil
reliqui facere_, 'to leave nothing undone' (Caes.); _quantum mercedis_
(xxxii. 17.); _si quid remedii_ (xxxiv. 8.), and such phrases as _navium
quod ubique fuerat in unum locum coegerant_ (Caes.). _Id_ in this phrase
is in the accusative. Similar adverbial accusatives are--_hoc noctis_,
_magnam partem_, _suam vicem_, _multum_, etc. The use of the acc. has
arisen from an extended use of the cognate acc. after intransitive verbs
(e.g. _servire servitatem_, _dormire noctem_, _dolere aliquid_, etc.).

+quod in eum solum ... incurrerent+, the order is _aeditumi ...
admirati, quod canes, semper in alios saevientes, neque latrarent neque
incurrerent in eum solum id temporis in Capitolium ingredientem_,
'because he was the only man who entered the temple at that time, at
whom the dogs, that always attacked others, did not bark and fly.'

14. +re cibaria copiosum+, 'well supplied with provisions.'

15. +eius potiundi+. Gerundival attraction, cf. xiii. 1. note.

16. +ius dicebat+, 'he was administering justice,' the technical term.

18. +in iure stare+, or _esse_, 'to stand,' 'present oneself before a
magistrate'; _in ius ire_, 'to go before a magistrate.'

19. +vadimonium promittere+, to promise or give security (bail) for a
man's appearance, 'for what day and what place' (_i.e._ for his
appearance on what day and place) 'he would order security to be given.'

+iuberet+, subj. after the dependent interrog. _quem_. Cf. x. 6. note.

21. +sese+, object. of _sistere_, 'ordered him to present himself on the
third day in yonder place.'

22. +atque ita factum+, 'and so it happened.'

+vadari+. _Vador aliquem_ = 'I bind a man over by bail': the object. of
_vadari_ here is _militem_; "on the third day, on which he had ordered
(them) to bind (the man) over to appear."


XIX.

1. +capite+. _Caput_ denotes the legal status of a citizen: he lost it
"as much if he were struck off the roll of citizens as if his head were
struck off his shoulders" (Wilkins, _R. Lit. Primer_). "I and two others
were trying a friend on a capital charge."

4. +ad casum ... medendum+, 'to remedy so perilous a mischance.'

6. +ad condemnandum+, sc. _hominem_, 'I gave my vote in silence for
condemning the man.'


XX.

1. +Favorinus+ was a native of Arles, in Gaul; he was a famous
philosopher, and resided at different periods of his life in Rome,
Greece, and Asia Minor (about 110-130 A.D.).

3. +Curius+. M' Curius Dentatus, consul in 290, 275, and 274 B.C.,
distinguished himself in the Samnite wars. He was a favourite hero of
the Romans, and celebrated as a type of the old-fashioned virtue and
frugality. The Samnites, it is said, once sent an embassy to him with
costly gifts. The messengers found the great general sitting by his
hearth, and roasting turnips. They proffered their gifts, but he
rejected them, saying that he would rather rule over those who possessed
gold than possess it himself.

4. +Fabricius+. Cf. viii. 1. note.

+Coruncanius+, consul 260 B.C., fought with success against the
Etruscans and against Pyrrus (cf. xxvii. 1. note); he was also a
distinguished lawyer, and the first plebeian who became Pontifex
Maximus.

5. +his+, abl. after the comparative _antiquiores_.

+antiquus+, 'former,' 'ancient,' is used of what has existed in past
time as opposed to _novus_, what has not previously existed, new.
_Vetus_ denotes what has existed for a long time, old, aged, opposed to
_r[)e]cens_, what has not existed for long, recent.

+Horatii+. The three brothers of the Horatian gens, who, according to
the legend, in the reign of Tullus Hostilius, fought against the
Curiatii, three brothers from Alba, to determine whether Rome or Alba
was to exercise the supremacy.

6. +Auruncorum+, etc., genitives depending of _verbis_, 'used the
language of the Aurunci,' etc. The Aurunci, Sicani, and Pelasgi were old
Italian races.

9. +quasi loquare+. Cf. xv. 6. note, '_quasi desiperet_.'

+Euandri+. The legend says that Euander, son of Hermes and an Arcadian
nymph, about 60 years before the Trojan war, led a Pelasgian colony from
Arcadia in Greece to Italy, and built the town of Pallantium at the foot
of the Palatine hill. Vergil represents Euander as still alive when
Aeneas came to Italy. (_Aeneid_, viii. 51.)

10. +abhinc multis annis+, 'many years ago.' To express 'how long ago,'
_abhinc_ and _ante_ are used with either abl. or acc. case. Cf. _abhinc
triennium huc commigravit_, 'she came hither three years ago' (Ter.
_An._ i. 70).

11. +quae dicas+, 'anything that you say.' The subj. (a consecutive
subjunctive) after the relative marks the statement as indefinite; _quae
dicis_ would mean the particular words which you are actually using.

14. +sit+, subjunctive, because a dependent sentence in the _oratio
obliqua_ after _ais_.

16. +C. Julius Caesar+, the Dictator, 100-44 B.C. This quotation is from
his lost work _De Analogia_, written, it is said, when he was crossing
the Alps.

18. +ut tamquam+, 'that you should avoid a rare word, as (you would
avoid) a rock.'


XXI.

1. +T. Manlius Imperiosus Torquatus+ was another of the favourite heroes
of Roman history. His exploit here mentioned happened in 361. In 353 and
again in 349 he was Dictator; in 347, 344, and 340, Consul. In this last
year Torquatus and P. Decius Mus gained a great victory over the Latins
near Mt. Vesuvius, and established the Roman supremacy in Latium. It was
shortly before this battle that the disobedient act of his son occurred,
mentioned at the end of xxii.

3. +torquis+, a 'twisted neck chain,' as opposed to _monile_ (cf.
ix. 6), which was made of beads, stones, etc., strung together.

+ex hoste detractam induit+, 'he had taken from an enemy, and put on
himself.' A participle and verb are frequently used in Latin where in
English two verbs are employed, e.g. _scripsit se profectum celeriter
adfore_, 'he wrote (to say) that he had set out and would soon arrive.'

4. +fuerit+, subj. after the dependent interrogative _quis_. Cf. x. 6.
note.

6. +cum ... processit+, etc. The indicative is used in past time after
_cum_, when the conjunction is purely temporal, and equivalent to _et
tum_. Cf. vi. 8 note.

7. +nudus+, 'unarmed.' _Nudus_ is used in many senses besides its usual
one of 'unclothed,' 'naked': _e.g._ 'without a _toga_,' _i.e._ 'in a
tunic only,' _nudus ara, sere nudus_ (Verg. _G._ i. 299); 'uncovered by
turf,' _silex nuda_ (Verg. _E._ i. 15); 'leafless,' _nudum nemus_;
'without a garrison,' _urbs nuda praesidio_ (Cic. _Att._ vii. 13-1);
'destitute,' _nuda senectus_ (Juv.); 'unadorned,' _nuda oratio_ (Cic.),
etc.

12. +si quis ... vellet, uti prodiret+, 'that if any one was willing to
fight him, he should step forward.' The tenses are historic, because
_conclamant_ is the historical present, and therefore equivalent to a
past tense. Primary tenses are sometimes used after a historic present,
but historic tenses are more common.

17. +scuto pedestri+. The _scutum_ was an oblong or oval shield (4 ft.
by 2½ ft., Polybius), made of wood or wickerwork. It was borrowed from
the Sabines and made the shield of the whole Roman army, superseding the
large circular _clipeus_, when the Roman soldiers first began to receive
pay, and to form a permanent army instead of an irregular militia (Livy,
viii. 8. etc.).

+cinctus+ in this connection is properly 'surrounded' with a girdle to
support a shield or sword, hence 'armed with.'


XXII.

1. +metu magno+, 'amid great anxiety.' An ablative of manner, closely
akin to the "ablative absolute."

2. +sua disciplina+, 'according to his custom,' _i.e._ way of fighting.
Cf. _eadem nos disciplina utimur_, 'our habits are the same' (Plaut.
_As._ i. 3. 49), and _disciplina militiae, bellica militaris_, etc.,
'the art of war.'

3. +cunctabundus+. Cf. _moribundus_, vi. 11. note. The Gaul stood on the
alert ready to parry a blow, and waiting his opportunity. Manlius
disconcerted him by suddenly dashing him backwards.

7. +eo pacto ei ... +, etc., 'in that way he got to close quarters with
him (_ei successit_) under his Gallic sword, and wounded his chest with
his Spanish sword (sc. _gladio_).' The "Spanish sword" was a short
weapon, fitted for thrusting and stabbing at close quarters; the "Gallic
sword" a much longer and heavier weapon.

9. +pectus hausit+. _Haurire_ of a weapon in the sense of 'wounding,'
'tearing open,' is found in Lucretius, Vergil, and often in Ovid:
probably the sword, etc., is regarded as devouring the flesh or drinking
the blood (Conington). Cf. Verg. _Aen._ x. 313--

              _Huic gladio perque aerea suta,
  Per tunicam squalentem auro, latus haurit apertum._

'With his sword, through brazen coat of mail and tunic stiff with gold,
he wounded his unguarded side.'

17. +speculatum+. The supine is _-um_, expressing purpose after a verb
of motion.

+pugna interdicta+, 'though he had been forbidden to fight.' Abl.
absolute.


XXIII.

1. +Agrum Pomptinum+. The Ager Pomptinus was a low plain on the coast of
Latium, between Circeii and Terracina; it was originally a fertile
cornland, but after the third century B.C., it became more and more
marshy, till at last the Pomptine marshes were the most malarious
district in Italy. They were partially drained from time to time, but no
permanent relief was afforded till the time of Pius VI. (1778). The
district is still the most unhealthy in Italy.

3. +vasta proceritate+, abl. of description.

+armis auro fulgentibus+, abl. abs., 'a man of enormous stature, with
armour gleaming with gold.'

5. +per contemptum et superbiam+, 'scornfully and haughtily.' Cf. _per
vim_, 'forcibly,' etc.

6. +venire iubet+, etc., 'bids anyone out of the whole Roman army who
dares to fight, to come forward and meet him,' lit. 'bids (him) come, if
anyone dares.' _Auderet_ is in historical time, because _iubet_ is the
historic present, standing for a past tense. Cf. xxi. 12. note.

8. +tribunus militaris+. The _tribuni militum_, or _militares_, were the
chief officers of the legion; there were originally three, afterwards
six, to each legion.

+ceteris ... ambiguis+. Abl. absol., 'since the rest hesitated.'

11. +progreditur ... obviam+, 'advances to meet him.'

13. +vis quaedam divina fit+, 'a miracle happens': lit., a divine power
is manifested.

16. +laniabat ... revolabat+, the imperfects denote repeated action.

21. +statuam statuendam curavit+, 'had a statue set up': for this use of
_curo_ cf. xiii. 1. 4. note.

+Augustus+. Cf. xxix. 2. note.

+in foro suo+, the 'Forum Augusti.' There were three great _fora_ at
Rome, the F. Augusti, the F. Magnum, Vetus, or Romanum, and the F.
Julii.

23. +monimentum+, in apposition to _simulacrum_.


XXIV.

1. +Aesopus+ lived about 570 B.C. Little is known about his life. He was
a slave, but was freed by one of his masters, Iadmon of Samos. He is
said to have visited Croesus, king of Lydia, and Pisistratus of Athens,
and to have been sent by the former to Delphi to distribute a gift of
money among the citizens. A dispute however arose, and he refused to
give any of the money, so the angry men of Delphi threw him over a
precipice. Later stories, without good authority, represent him as
deformed.

+e Phrygia+. Cotioeum in Phrygia, Mesembria in Thrace, Samos, and Sardis
each claimed to be the birthplace of Aesop.

2. +utilia monitu suasuque+. The abl. of the supine in _-u_ is regularly
used as an abl. of respect. Cf. _nefas visu_, _turpe dictu_, _facile
factu_ (xxvii. 7.), etc.

5. +cum audiendi quadam inlecebra+, lit. 'with some charm of hearing.'

7. +spem+, etc., 'that in matters (_rerum_) which a man can manage
himself, hope and trust ought never to be placed in another, but in
himself,' _i.e._ that a man ought not to rely upon another for what he
can do himself.

10. +Q. Ennius+. Cf. xxxviii. 9.

+satiris+. _Satira_ or _satura_ (_satur_ = full), properly a mixture of
all sorts of things, originally denoted a work which dealt with many
subjects; then the title was applied to poems which treated
'didactically' the follies and vices of mankind.

+versibus quadratis+, _versus quadrati_ (square) are those containing
eight or seven feet. These lines of Ennius are called _Septenarii_ or
_Tetrameter Catalectic_ verses. The principal feet in them are the
_trochee_ ¯ ¯ ), and _spondee_ ¯ ¯.

  H[-o]c [)e]r|[-i]t t[)i]b(i) | [-a]rg[)u]|m[-e]nt[-u]m | s[-e]mp[)e]r
| [-i]n pr[-o]mp|t[-u] s[)i]|tum,
  N[-e] qu[)i]d | [-e]xp[-e]c|t[-e]s [)a]|m[-i]c[-o]s, | quod t[)u]t(e)
| [)a]g[)e]r[)e] | poss[)i]|es.

12. +semper in promptu situm+, 'ever ready at hand.'

13. +ne quid+, etc., 'not to wait for your friends at all (_quid_) in a
matter which (_quod_) you yourself can do.'

+possies+, old form of _possis_, pres. subj. of _possum_.


XXV.

2. +id temporis+. Cf. xviii. 7. note, 'at such a time, as a rule, that
the harvest is at hand when its young ones are just becoming fledged.'

3. +ea cassita+, that particular lark about which the story is told.

+congesserat+, used absolutely (_i.e._ without an object) in the sense
of making a nest, as we used the word 'to build.' Cf. Verg._ Ecl._
iii. 69, _locum aeriae quo congessere columbae_.

5. +dum iret+. _Dum_, like other temporal conjunctions, takes the indic.
(in Oratio R.) when _strictly_ temporal, but the subj. is required when
the notion of time is complicated with that of purpose, consequence,
etc. In other words, _dum_, 'whilst,' always takes the indic., _dum_,
'until,' the indic. usually, the subj. sometimes, viz., when the idea of
expecting or waiting for something comes in. Here purpose is expressed:
'to enable her to meanwhile go ...,' 'till she should go.' Cf.
_priusquam emeret_, xxxiii. 4. note.

6. +quaesitum+, 'to seek for food ...'; the supine in _-um_ expressing
purpose after a verb of motion. Cf. xvi. 13, xxii. 17.

7. +si quid+, etc., 'if anything unusual happened.' For the genitive
_quid rei_, cf. _id temporis_, xviii. 7. note.

11. +fac eas et roges+, a less peremptory way of expressing a command
than the simple imperative. Cf. _scribas velim_, _cura ut scribas_,
_scribe sis_ (for _si vis_), instead of _scribe_.

12. +veniant+, etc., subj. after _roges_, 'ask them to come ...'

15. +orare+, the historical infinite, used instead of a finite verb. In
this construction, which is frequent in an animated description of a
scene, the pres. inf. only is used (besides the two perfects _odisse_
and _meminisse_, which have a present meaning). Dr. Kennedy (Pub. Sch.
Lat. Gr., 332) treats it as analogous to the omission of parts of the
verb _sum_ (e.g. _occisus_ for _occisus est_), as it leaves out the
expression of time, number, and person. 'It is used to express the
occurrence of actions without marking the order of time.' (Roby.)

17. +misit qui amicos roget+. _Roget_ is in subj., because the relative
expresses purpose: 'has sent me to ask ....' _Misit_ is the perfect
proper, 'has sent,' a primary tense, hence _roget_ is in the pres. subj.

18. +otioso animo esse+, abl. of quality, lit. 'bids them be of an easy
mind,' _i.e._ 'bids them be easy in mind.'


XXVI.

4. +isti+, ironical, 'those friends of yours are laggards.'

+quin ... imus+, 'why do we not rather go ...?' The conjunction _quin_
(= _quî_, an old ablative, and _-ne_) is thus used in exhortations and
remonstrances (_a_) usually with the pres. indic., e.g. _quin
conscendimus equos?_ (Livy), 'why do we not mount?' _i.e._ 'nay, mount
at once': (_b_) sometimes with the imperative, _quin aspice me_, 'nay,
look at me'; _quin dic uno verbo_, 'just answer in a single word.'

5. +cognatos+. _Cognatus_ is a kinsman by blood, either on the father's
or the mother's side; _agnatus_, a blood relation on the father's side;
_gentilis_, a member of the same _gens_, and bearing the same gentile
name, _e.g._ Cornelii, Fabii; all these three classes were
_consanguinei_, related by blood; _adfinis_, a relation by marriage, or
sometimes merely a neighbour.

8. +cognatos adfinesque nullos ferme ...+, lit. 'as a rule no kinsmen
and neighbours were so good-natured,' she said, 'as to make no delay in
undertaking work, and to obey orders at once.'

14. +valeant+, 'good-bye to ...,' _i.e._ let us have no more to do
with....

18. +id ubi ...+, the order is, _ubi mater audivit ex pullis dominum
dixisse id...._

19. +tempus cedendi et abeundi+, 'it is time to go and be off.'

20. +in ipso enim+. The order is, _vertitur enim iam in ipso, cuia res
est, non in alio, unde petitur_, lit. 'for (the work) now depends upon
the man himself, whose the property is, not upon another, from whom (the
work) is asked,' _i.e._ who is asked to do the work.


XXVII.

1. +Pyrrus+ (318-272 B.C.), king of Epirus, was one of the most famous
generals of his age. In 280 he was invited to Italy by the Tarentines to
aid them in their struggle with Rome. He defeated the Romans in two
great battles, near Heraclea on the Siris in 280, and near Asculum in
279, but his own troops suffered so severely that he concluded an
armistice, and in 278 crossed to Sicily to help the Greek colonies in
that island against the Carthaginians. The incident mentioned in this
selection afforded the pretext for the truce. In 276 Pyrrus returned to
Italy, but he was decisively defeated by Curius Dentatus near Beneventum
and compelled to leave Italy. He went back to Epirus, and engaged in
many new warlike enterprises. In 272, when retreating from Argos, he was
stunned by a tile thrown by a woman, and slain by the pursuing soldiers.
Hannibal is reported to have said, that of all the great generals the
world had seen, Alexander was the greatest, Pyrrus the second, himself
the third; or, according to another version, Pyrrus the first, Scipio
the second, and himself the third.

+in terra Italia+, 'in the land of Italy'; cf. xxxi. 7, _in terra
Graecia_, so _urbs Roma_, etc., the two substantives being in
apposition.

4. +Fabricius+. Cf. viii. 1. note.

7. +facile factu+, 'easy to do.' Cf. xxiv. 2., _utilia monitu et suasu_,
note.

12. +salutem tutaretur+, 'should protect himself from...,' 'be on his
guard against;' lit. 'protect his safety.'

13. +laudes ... scripsisse+, 'it is said that Pyrrus wrote to the Roman
people, praising and thanking them ...,' lit. 'wrote praises and
thanks.'

+populo Romano+. Cf. _ad senatum scripsit_, line 9. The rule is that, if
the verb expresses or implies motion, _ad_ with the acc. is used to
express the remoter object; if no motion is implied, the dative is used;
so, _misit hoc ad me_, but _dedit hoc mihi_. Hence many verbs admit both
constructions, as they fall on the line between expressing motion and
not expressing it. _Scribo_ is one of these, for the letter has to be
sent, so motion is implied, but the verb itself expresses no motion.
This rule, however, is not always observed even in prose, and far less
so in poetry.


XXVIII.

1. +In circo maximo+. The early Roman legends say that when Tarquinius
Priscus had taken the town of Apiolae from the Latins, he commemorated
his success by holding races and games in the Murcian Valley, between
the Palatine and Aventine hills. Round the valley temporary platforms
and stands were erected, and the course with its surroundings was called
'_Circus_,' either because the spectators stood in a circle or because
the races went round in a circle. Soon a permanent building was erected
in this valley. This was enlarged and beautified from time to time, and
known as the Circus Maximus, to distinguish it from the many similar
buildings which were erected in various parts of Rome. In the time of
Julius Caesar the Circus Maximus was about 600 yards in length, and 200
in width, and held 150,000 people: a century later it could hold twice
as many. The building was used chiefly for chariot-racing; but sometimes
the area was flooded, and naval battles were represented, and often
beasts were let loose in it to fight with one another, or with men,
either condemned criminals and captives, or _bestiari_, specially
trained for the purpose. This latter exhibition was called _venatio_, or
_pugna venationis_. Animals were brought in almost incredible numbers
from all parts of the Roman world to be thus slaughtered. Julius Caesar
once turned 500 lions into the arena together, and Augustus, in the
Monimentum Ancyranum, boasts that he had thus killed 3,500 elephants
during his reign.

2. +multae ibi ferae+, sc. _erant_.

7. +quasi admirans+. Cf. _quasi desiperet_, xv. 6. note.

15. +videres+, 'you might have seen.' Cf. Livy, _maesti, crederes
victos, redeunt in castra_, 'you would have thought they had been
defeated.' This use is confined to the second person singular ('you'
indefinite = one); the subjunctive is explained by treating the
expression as part of a conditional sentence, the condition understood
being the reality of the subject. 'If you had been there, you might have
seen....'


XXIX.

2. +Caesar+, probably Claudius, emperor 41-54 A.D.; he was the fourth
emperor--Augustus being the first, Tiberius the second, and Caligula the
third. Caesar was originally the name of a patrician family of the
Julian _gens_. The name was taken by Augustus (Octavianus), as the
adopted son of the Dictator, C. Julius Caesar: by Tiberius, as the
adopted son of Augustus Caesar: and it continued to be used by Caligula,
Claudius, and Nero, as members, by adoption, or female descent, of
Caesar's family. This family became extinct with Nero, but succeeding
emperors employed the name as part of their official title.

3. +uni+ with +illi+, 'had spared him alone.'

+pepercisset+, subj. after the dependent interrogative _cur_.

5. +proconsulari imperio+. The _Proconsulare Imperium_ is the power held
by a man who acts _pro consule_, 'in the place of a consul.' As the
number of Roman provinces increased, it became the custom under the
Republic for men, who had held the office of consul, to accept the
government of provinces for a year, and rule these with the "_Imperium
Proconsulare_," which was conferred by a special decree of the Senate
and of the people. Under the Empire the provinces were divided into two
groups: (1) the Senatorial Provinces (the more peaceful ones in which no
large armies were maintained), which were governed with _Imperium
Proconsulare_ by men who had been consuls or praetors: (2) the Imperial
Provinces, which were governed with _Praetorian_ power by _Legati
Caesaris_, who acted as the Emperor's deputies.

+Africam+, the Roman name for the district round Carthage.

10. +consilium fuit+, 'my plan was,' 'I purposed.'

14. +debili ... pede+. Abl. absol., 'with one foot lame and
bloodstained.'

22. +volnere intimo expressi+, 'I pressed out from the bottom of the
wound.' Words compounded with _ab_, _cum_, _de_, and _ex_ usually govern
an abl., either with or (less frequently in prose) without the
preposition repeated.

23. +cruorem+: _cruor_ is 'gore,' _i.e._ blood which has flowed from a
wound; _sanguis_, either 'gore,' or blood circulating in the body.


XXX.

1. +triennium totum+, acc. of duration of time; 'for three whole years.'

2. +eodemque et victu+, abl. of matter; 'on the same food also.'

+nam quas+, etc. The order is--'_ferebat ad specum mihi_ (to the cave
for me), _membra opimiora ferarum quas venabatur_,' the antecedent
_ferarum_ being attracted into the relative sentence, and so becoming
_feras_.

7. +viam ... permensus+, 'having travelled a journey of almost three
days.'

9. +rei capitalis+, the genitive of the charge used after verbs of
condemning and acquitting. _Res capitalis_ is a crime punishable by
death or loss of civil rights, _caput_ denoting both life and civil
status. Cf. xix. 1. note.

10. +damnandum curavit+. Cf. xiii. 1. 4. note.

11. +quoque+, the lion, as well as I, having been captured.


XXXI.

1. +in terra Graecia+. Cf. _in terra Italia_, xxvii. 1. note.

+fama celebri+, abl. of quality, 'of great reputation.'

5. +Athenis+, 'at Athens,' the locative case. Cf. xi. 1. note.

+Electram+, etc. The order is--_acturus Electram Sophoclis, debebat
gestare urnam quasi cum Oresti ossibus_, 'being about to play the part
of Sophocles' Electra (_i.e._ the part of Electra in the play of
Sophocles called 'the Electra') he had to carry an urn, supposed to
contain (_quasi cum_) the bones of Orestes.' Women's characters were
played by men both on the Greek and on the Roman stage.

When Agamemnon, king of Argos and Mycenae, returned from the Trojan war,
he was murdered by his wife Clytaemnestra. Electra, their daughter,
contrived to save her young brother Orestes, and send him to the court
of Strophius, king of Phocis. After some years Orestes returned in
company with Pylades, the son of Strophius. At first he pretended to be
a messenger from Strophius, who had come to announce the death of
Orestes in a chariot race, in token of which he brought an urn
containing, he said, the ashes of the dead man. Finally, he made himself
known to Electra, and then slew Clytaemnestra and her lover Aegisthus.

+Sophocles+, 495-406, the great Athenian tragic poet, was thirty years
younger than Aeschylus and fifteen years older than Euripides. He is
said to have written 130 plays, but of these seven only have reached us,
of which the 'Electra,' here mentioned, is one.

6. +Oresti+. The gen. sing. of Greek proper names in _-es_ of the third
declension usually ends in _-i_, sometimes in _-is_. Hence we have nom.
and voc., Orestes; acc., Oresten and Orestem; gen., Oresti and Orestis;
dat., Oresti; abl., Orest[)e], rarely Orest[-e]. The plural, when used,
follows the first declension.

11. +quasi Oresti amplexus+. _Oresti_ is the gen. depending on _ossa_
understood.

12. +itaque+, etc., lit. 'and so when a play seemed to be represented,
(true) grief was represented.'

When the great English actor Macready played the part of Virginius, soon
after the death of his own daughter, he declared that his recent
experience of real grief gave a new force to his acting. Diderot, on the
other hand, in his famous _Paradoxe sur le Comédien_, maintains that the
emotions of the actor must be artificial, not real, to produce an
artistic effect.


XXXII.

2. +qui pro se ... advocaverunt+, 'they engaged men to plead their
case'; lit. 'who should speak for them,' _qui_ being used in a final
sense, and hence the subj. For this sense of _advocaverunt_ cf. the
English word 'advocate.'

4. +Demosthenes+, the greatest of Athenian orators, was born in 385 and
died in 322 B.C. As a statesman his whole policy was directed to
resisting the aggressions of the Macedonian kings Philip and Alexander
(cf. vi.). He made many bitter enemies, of whom +Demades+ (line 22) was
one of the most important. Demades was a warm supporter of the
Macedonian party, and, as he is known to have been an unprincipled man,
this story probably applies to him, and not to Demosthenes.

11. +lana multa ... circumvolutus+, lit. 'wrapped round as to his neck
with much wool.' _Collum_ is the acc. of respect.

12. +eo+, for that reason, therefore.

14. +non synanchen ... sed argyranchen+, 'that his throat was inflamed
not by cold, but by gold.' _Argyranche_ (#arguranchê#) is a sarcastic
word coined to imitate _synanche_ (#sunanchê#), 'an inflamed throat.'

15. +quin ... quoque+, 'nay he even prided himself upon it,' lit.
ascribed it as a glory (dat of purpose or complement, cf. viii. 4. note)
to himself. _Quinetiam_ is more common than the simple _quin_ in this
sense.

17. +quantum mercedis+. For this 'genitive of the thing measured,'
usually called the 'partitive genitive,' depending of a neuter pronoun,
cf. _id temporis_, xviii. 7. note, 'how much pay he had received for
acting.' _Accepisset_ is subj. after the dependent interrogative
_quantum_.

18. +uti ageret+, lit. in order to act, a final sentence. So '_ut
tacerem_'.

19. +talentum+, the Attic talent, £243 15s.


XXXIII.

1. +Marcus Tullius Cicero+, the famous Roman orator, was born near
Arpinum on Jan 3rd, 106 B.C. He was consul in 63 B.C., and was murdered
Dec 7th, 43 B.C., by the emissaries of M. Antonius.

+in Palatio+, the Palatium or Mons Palatinus was the hill on the S.W. of
the Roman Forum. On it the original city is said to have been built.

2. +in praesens+ sc. _tempus_, 'for the present'. _Praesens_, the pres.
participle of _praesum_, and _absens_, the pres. participle of _absum_,
are the only forms in which the pres. participle of _sum_ is found.

+P. Sulla+, the nephew of the great Dictator, L. Sulla, was accused of
complicity in the Catilinarian conspiracy. He was defended by Cicero and
Hortensius--the famous rival of Cicero, and, though certainly guilty,
was acquitted, 62 B.C.

+mutua ... tacita accepit+, 'accepted as a secret loan....'

+sestertium viciens+, 2,000,000 _sestertii_, _i.e._ about £19,000. The
unit for reckoning large sums was the _sestertius_ or _nummus_ (¼ of a
_denarius_, the ordinary silver coin in use, or 2½ asses), in value
about 2¼d. Up to 2,000 the cardinal numbers were prefixed, e.g. _centum
sestertii_, _mille sestertii_, etc. The gen. plur. of _sestertius_ is
_sestertium_, so 2,000 _sestertii_ is _duo millia sestertium_. This form
_sestertium_ in time became treated as if it were a neuter singular.
Hence for _duo millia sestertium_, _duo_ or _bina sestertia_ was
written, as the 'distributive' form of the numeral was often used. Hence
for sums from 2,000 up to 1,000,000 _sestertii_ we have _duo_ or _bina
sestertia_, _sexaginta_ or _sexagena sestertia_, etc. For sums above
1,000,000 _sestertii_ the numeral adverb was generally employed: thus,
2,000,000 _sestertii_ was written _viciens centena_ (or _centum_)
_millia sestertium_, which was generally contracted into _viciens
sestertium_, or _viciens_ alone.

4. +priusquam emeret+. _Priusquam_ and _antequam_, like other temporal
conjunctions, usually govern the indicative; but when they introduce an
event which is expected, and its occurrence prevented, _i.e._ when they
convey any idea of purpose, they usually require the subjunctive. Cf.
note on _dum iret_, xxv. 5. Translate, "before he _could_ buy."

+quod ... accepisset+, 'that he had accepted.' Fees to lawyers were
illegal at Rome; but the law was evaded in many ways.

10. +inter ridendum+, 'amidst his laughing.' Cf. note on the gerund,
xiii. 1.

+#akoinonoêtoi#+ (_akoin[)o]n[)o][-e]toi_), #a-koinos-noêtos (noêsis)#,
not having common sense. The word is not found in extant Greek works.

11. +cum ignoratis+, 'because you do not know that.' This use of _cum_
with the indic., giving a reason, is common in early writers (_e.g._
Plautus), but only used by Cicero after such words as _laudo_ and
_gratulor_. Later writers do not employ it.

12. +patris familias+, 'it is the custom of a prudent and careful master
of the household to say that he is not going to buy what he wishes to
purchase....' For the genitive, cf. _cuiusvis hominis est errare_, 'it
is any man's nature to err,' etc. The genitive may be explained by
saying that it depends upon some such word as _indoles_, 'nature,'
_officium_, 'duty,' etc., understood.


XXXIV.

3. +Mons Cispius+ was one of the peaks of Mons Esquilinus, on the E. of
the Forum.

+subeuntes montem+. Many intransitive verbs, especially verbs of motion,
gain a semi-transitive or transitive force by being compounded with
prepositions, chiefly prepositions which govern an acc., e.g. _adire_,
_circumvenire_, _adstare_, _adloqui_, _oppugnare_, etc. But many of
these compounds govern a dative, instead of, or as well as, an
accusative, e.g. _adlabi_, _succedere_. Some verbs compounded with
prepositions which govern an ablative take an accusative, e.g.
_convenire_, _expugnare_, etc.

4. +insulam+. _Insula_ was a house for poor people, let out in rooms or
flats to several families; as opposed to _domus_, the large mansion of a
single wealthy family.

+multis ... editam+, built to a great height with many floors.

7. +magni+, nominative, 'the profits of city property are great.'

8. +si quid remedii+. For the gen. cf. _id temporis_, xviii. 7. note,
'if any remedy could have been found to prevent houses burning so
constantly at Rome, I would have sold....'

10. +venum dedissem+. _Venum_ (neuter) is only found in the classical
period in the acc. sing., but Tacitus uses _veno_, and still later
writers _venui_. _Venum do_--often written as one word, _venumdo_,
contracted into _vendo_--is 'I give for sale'; _venum eo_--often written
_veneo_--is 'I am for sale.' For the acc. cf. _pessum dare_, 'I give to
destruction,' and _pessum ire_, 'I go to destruction.'

12. +annalem undevicensimum+, 'the nineteenth book of the history
(annals) of Q. Claudius....'

13. +Mitridati+, genitive; cf. _Oresti_, xxxi. 6. note.

14. +defenderes+, subj. after the dependent interrogative _quo_.

15. +L. Cornelius Sulla+, surnamed Felix, was born in 138 and died 78
B.C. He first distinguished himself in Africa, when serving under Marius
in the campaign against Jugurtha (107-106). In 88 he was appointed to
the command of the war against Mitridates, but Marius, eager to obtain
this for himself, got a new law passed transferring the command to
himself. Sulla thereupon marched upon Rome with his troops, and Marius
fled, only to return and deluge the streets of Rome with blood, when his
rival had sailed for the East. The siege of Athens here referred to took
place in 86: in 83 Sulla returned to Rome, and quickly overthrew the
remains of the Marian party, Marius having died in 86. In 81 Sulla was
appointed Dictator. He devoted two years to reforming the State, and
restoring the power of the senate and aristocracy, and then retired into
private life in 79. In the following year he died.

+Piraeum+. Piraeus, Munychia, and Phalerum were the three harbours of
Athens.


XXXV.

1. +Arion+. This story about Arion comes from the Greek historian
Herodotus. +Periander+ was "tyrant" of Corinth from 625 to 585 B.C. Like
most of the Greek "tyrants" he was a patron of art and literature.

+nobilis+ is common in the sense of 'famous,' as well as in its
technical use of one whose ancestors had held curule office.

+Methymnaeus+. Methymna was a town at the northern extremity of Lesbos.

5. +viseret+, the imperf. subj., because _proficiscitur_ is the
'historical present' standing for a past tense. Cf. xxi. 12. note.

8. +ut notiores+, 'as better known....'

10. +in altum+, 'the deep sea.'

11. +de necando Arione+, gerundial attraction. Cf. xiii. 7. note.

21. +carmen ... orthium+, Greek #nomos orthios#, lit. the loud, high
song, was the name for a shrill, stirring air.


XXXVI.

2. +cursum ... tenuerunt+, 'held on their course.'

4. +fluitanti sese homini subdidit+, 'placed itself under the floating
man.'

5. +incolumique corpore et ornatu+, abl. absol., 'carried him to land
(_devexit_) at Taenarum, in the country of Laconia, with body and
clothes unharmed.' _Taenarum_ is the acc. of 'place whither.'

+in terram Laconicam+, lit. 'to Taenarum into the land of Laconia.' So
'he set out for Carthage in Africa' is '_profectus est Carthaginem in
Africam_.'

6. +Taenarum+ was a promontory and town in the S.W. of Laconia, now
Cape Matapan.

7. +devexit+, 'carried _down_,' _i.e._ to land. The Greeks and Romans
spoke of the coast line as lower than both the inland country and the
'high' sea. Cf. the uses of #anabainô# and #katabainô#.

8. +talemque+, etc., lit. 'presented himself to King Periander, not
expecting him, in the same guise (_talem_) as he had been in (_qualis_)
(when) carried on the dolphin.'

+quasi falleret+. Cf. _quasi desiperet_, xv. 6. note.

12. +dissimulanter+, secretly, hiding the truth; _simulanter_,
feignedly, pretending what does not exist (the form _simulanter_ is
post-classical). This distinction between _simulo_ and _dissimulo_ is
expressed in the pentameter--

  "_Quod non es simulas, dissimulasque quod es_,"

'you pretend what you are not, and hide what you are.'

13. +audissent+, subj. after the dept. interrogative '_ecquid_.'

+unde venissent+, subj. because a dept. sentence in the _interrogatio
obliqua_, after _interrogavit_.

18. +ire infitias+, 'to deny.' For the phrase, cf. _ire exequias_, 'to
attend a funeral.' The acc. in these phrases must be compared with the
'acc. of place whither' after a verb of motion, _e.g._ _Romam_, _domum_,
_rus ire_; and the acc. of the supine used to express purpose after a
verb of motion, e.g. _lusum it Maecenas, dormitum ego_ (Horace),
'Maecenas goes to play, I to sleep.'

20. +quod+, 'the fact that...,' introduces the substantival sentence
'_simulacra ... visuntur_' which is the subject of _est_.

21. +delphinus+ and +homo+ are in opposition with _simulacra_.


XXXVII.

1. +ruris colendi insolens+, 'ignorant of agriculture.' For the
gerundial attraction, cf. xiii. 1. note.

3. +qui ... sciret+, 'since he knew...,' the relative when used in a
causal sense governs the subjunctive.

10. +faceret+, subj. after the dept. interrogative _cur_; 'he asked
why he was making....'

13. +gratias agens+. The plural _gratias_ is always used with _agere_;
but after _referre_, _debere_, _sentire_, etc., the singular, _gratiam_,
is most commonly found.

15. +imperitus+ goes closely with _detruncat_. In English we should
use the adverb, 'ignorantly (or, in his ignorance) cuts the tops
off....'

+vites suas sibi omnes et oleas+, 'all the vines and olives that he
possessed.'

18. +pomis gignendis felicia+, lit. all the twigs 'productive for
bearing fruit,' _i.e._ 'all the fruit-bearing twigs.' _Pomis gignendis_
is the dative after _felicia_. For the gerundive attraction cf. xiii. 1.
note.

+felicia+. The root of _felix_ is the same as the root of _fecundus_
(fruitful), _fetus_ (offspring), etc. Hence the earliest meaning of
_felix_ is fruit-bearing: in this sense it is used in Lucretius, Ovid,
Livy, etc., and the adverb _felicius_ in Verg. (_hic segetes, illic
veniunt felicius uvae._--Georg. i. 54.)


XXXVIII.

1. +Mitridates VI+., king of Pontus, 120-63 B.C., was the most
powerful foe whom the Romans encountered in the East. The first
Mitridatic war was brought to a successful conclusion by Sulla in 84
B.C.; the second, 83-82 B.C., was uneventful; the third, 74-63 B.C., in
which Pompeius distinguished himself, ended in the flight and suicide of
the king, as described in line 8.

2. +quorum ... cavebat+, 'by the continual use of which he protected
himself from secret attempts at banquets'; _epularum_ is a descriptive
genitive depending on _insidiis_.

3. +quin ... est+. Cf. _quin quoque_, xxxii. 15. note, 'nay, he
even....'

+ostentandi gratia+, 'to show off.'

6. +in ultima regni+, 'to the most distant parts of his kingdom.'

9. +Q. Ennius+ (239-169 B.C.), though a Greek by birth, spent his life
at Rome, and was regarded by the Romans as the father of their poetry,
_alter Homerus_ (Horace). His most important work was the _Annales_, an
epic poem upon the history of Rome. Only a few fragments of his writings
have reached us.

10. +Osce+. The Osci were a primitive people who lived in Campania.

14. +lingua locutus est+, 'he spoke in the tongue and language of each
as skilfully as if he had been of that nation.'


XXXIX.

1. +eloquentiae discendae causarumque orandi cupidus+, lit. 'was
anxious to learn eloquence and to plead causes.'

+causarum orandi+, the genitive _orandi_ depends upon _cupidus_, and
_causarum_ is a genitive depending on the gerund _orandi_. This
construction (instead of the gerundial attraction, or the ordinary acc.
after the gerund) is very rare; but cf. _nobis fuit exemplorum eligendi
potestas_ (Cic de Juv. ii. 2), 'we had the power of choosing examples.'

+in disciplinam ... sese dedit+, 'entered himself as a pupil of
Protagoras,' lit. gave himself to the teaching of Protagoras.

3. +Protagoras+, of Abd[-e]ra, in Thrace, was born about 480 B.C. and
died 411 B.C. He came to Athens before the year 445, and there
established a school. He was the first Greek philosopher who called
himself a 'Sophist,' and taught for pay.

+daturumque+, etc. The order is--_promisit se daturum esse grandem
pecuniam mercedem_, 'promised to give a large sum as a remuneration....'
_Mercedem_ is in apposition with _pecuniam_.

6. +quo primo die+, 'on the first day on which he pleaded and won a
case'; the antecedent _primo die_ is attracted into the relative
clauses, a common construction in Latin. Cf. xxx. 2.

8. +causas ... reciperet+, 'did not undertake cases,' _i.e._ take
briefs.

12. +litem ... contestatur+ is the technical phrase for setting a suit
on foot by calling witnesses; 'he brings an action against Euathlus.'

17. +ex sententia+, in accordance with the votes of the judges.
'_Sententia_' is an expressed opinion, hence our 'sentence.'

18. +secundum te+, 'in your favour.'

24. +pro causa mea senserint+, 'shall have pronounced in my favour.'


XL.

1. +proelium Cannense+, 216 B.C. Cf. ix. 1. Note the use of the
adjective, where we use a subst. and prep., 'the battle of Cannae.'

2. +electos ... misit+, 'sent to Rome ten men chosen out of our
captives,' _i.e._ 'selected ten of our captives and sent them to Rome.'
Cp. xxi. 3. note.

3. +videretur+, 'if it seemed good to the Roman people.'

4. +quos alteri plures acciperent+, 'whom the one side received more
(than the other)'; _plures_ is acc. qualifying _quos_.

5. +argenti+, etc., 'a pound and a half of silver by weight.'

6. +hoc iusiurandum eos adegit+, 'bound them by this oath.' _Adigere
aliquem iusiurandum_, or _ad iusiurandum_, is literally to drive a man
to an oath, _i.e._ to make him take it. After the time of Livy the
construction _adigere aliquem iure iurando_, 'to bind a man by an oath,'
was more common.

12. +postliminio+, 'by the right of _postliminium_.' _Postliminium_ is
"the recovery of rights by a person returned from captivity, or the
recovery of rights over a person or thing recovered from hostile
possession" (Poste's _Gaius_, § 129), since a man by hostile capture
became the slave of the enemy, and so during the interval of captivity
his rights as a free citizen were suspended. The usual derivation given
is from _post_ and _limen_, 'a returning behind the threshold'; others
derive the _post_ from the same root as _potestas_ and _possessio_.

+liberatos religione+, 'freed from their obligation.'

19. +quoniam+, etc., lit. 'since, when they had left the enemy's camp,
they had returned to it (_eo lem._ lit. to the same place) on an
imaginary pretext, as if for some accidental reason, and so had again
left (the camp) not bound by an oath.'

24. +censores+. Two censors were elected every five years (_lustrum_);
they held office for 18 months. Their duties were (1) to take the
census, _i.e._ the register of the citizens and their property; (2) to
exercise a supervision over the morals of the citizens, and punish
defaulters by the _nota censoria_, and degrade them in various ways.
The consequence of the _nota_ was _ignominia_.

ERRATA (noted by transcriber)

The spelling "deminutive" (demin.) is used consistently.

A few terms were inconsistently italicized, including "e.g.", "i.e."
and "only" (in vocabulary notes such as "sing. only"). Rather than
try to second-guess the author, they have been left as printed.


_Errors and Irregularities:_

  XV:
    Tarquinius ore iam serio atque attentiore animo fit  [Tarquinus]

  VI Note:
    entered the Punjaub  [_spelling unchanged_]
  XVI Note:
    +gratulatum+ ... the verb of motion  [notion]

  Latin-to-English Vocabulary:
    +d[-o]n[)e]c+, _conj._, until.
      [_Text has Greek #e# for [)e] in "donec"_]
    +l[-i]b[)e]ro+ ... (l[-i]ber.)
      [_Macron in "l[-i]ber" conjectural: printed text has "l[i]ber"
      without visible macron or dot_]


_Missing or invisible punctuation:_

"Invisible" means that there is a suitably sized gap, but no printing
is visible.

End of Project Gutenberg's Stories from Aulus Gellius, by Aulus Gellius



*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK STORIES FROM AULUS GELLIUS ***


    

Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will
be renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
States without permission and without paying copyright
royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™
concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following
the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use
of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for
copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very
easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation
of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project
Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may
do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected
by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark
license, especially commercial redistribution.


START: FULL LICENSE

THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK

To protect the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting the free
distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase “Project
Gutenberg”), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full
Project Gutenberg™ License available with this file or online at
www.gutenberg.org/license.

Section 1. General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg™
electronic works

1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg™
electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all
the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or
destroy all copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in your
possession. If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a
Project Gutenberg™ electronic work and you do not agree to be bound
by the terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person
or entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.

1.B. “Project Gutenberg” is a registered trademark. It may only be
used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works if you follow the terms of this
agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg™
electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the
Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the individual
works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
that you will support the Project Gutenberg™ mission of promoting
free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg™
works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
Project Gutenberg™ name associated with the work. You can easily
comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when
you share it without charge with others.

1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes no
representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
country other than the United States.

1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:

1.E.1. The following sentence, with active links to, or other
immediate access to, the full Project Gutenberg™ License must appear
prominently whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg™ work (any work
on which the phrase “Project Gutenberg” appears, or with which the
phrase “Project Gutenberg” is associated) is accessed, displayed,
performed, viewed, copied or distributed:

    This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere in the United States and most
    other parts of the world at no cost and with almost no restrictions
    whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms
    of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online
    at www.gutenberg.org. If you
    are not located in the United States, you will have to check the laws
    of the country where you are located before using this eBook.
  
1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is
derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not
contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the
copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in
the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply
either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or
obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg™
trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg™ electronic work is posted
with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any
additional terms imposed by the copyright holder. Additional terms
will be linked to the Project Gutenberg™ License for all works
posted with the permission of the copyright holder found at the
beginning of this work.

1.E.4. Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg™
License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg™.

1.E.5. Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
Gutenberg™ License.

1.E.6. You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including
any word processing or hypertext form. However, if you provide access
to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg™ work in a format
other than “Plain Vanilla ASCII” or other format used in the official
version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website
(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means
of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original “Plain
Vanilla ASCII” or other form. Any alternate format must include the
full Project Gutenberg™ License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg™ works
unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
access to or distributing Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
provided that:

    • You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
        the use of Project Gutenberg™ works calculated using the method
        you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed
        to the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, but he has
        agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project
        Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid
        within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are
        legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty
        payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project
        Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in
        Section 4, “Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg
        Literary Archive Foundation.”
    
    • You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
        you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
        does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™
        License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
        copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
        all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™
        works.
    
    • You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of
        any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
        electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of
        receipt of the work.
    
    • You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
        distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.
    

1.E.9. If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project
Gutenberg™ electronic work or group of works on different terms than
are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing
from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of
the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set
forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right
of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the
production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
