does not however quote Stob. Phys. I. 24, 1 ?????? µe?e??? e?e?? e???? p?d?? a????pe???,<br />
which is affirmed to be the opinion <strong>of</strong> Heraclitus and Hecataeus. Ne maiorem quidem: so the<br />
MSS., but Goer. and Orelli read nec for ne, incurring the reprehension <strong>of</strong> Madv. D.F. p. 814, ed<br />
2. Nihil aut non multum: so in D.F. V. 59, the correction <strong>of</strong> Orelli, therefore, aut non multum<br />
mentiantur aut nihil, is rash. Semel: see 79. Qui ne nunc quidem: sc. mentiri sensus putat. Halm<br />
prints quin, and is followed by Baiter, neither has observed that quin ne ... quidem is bad Latin<br />
(see M.D.F. V. 56). Nor can quin ne go together even without quidem, cf. Krebs and Allgayer,<br />
Antibarbarus ed. 4 on quin.<br />
§83. In parvo lis sit: Durand's em. for the in parvulis sitis <strong>of</strong> the MSS., which Goer. alone<br />
defends. Quattuor capita: these were given in 40 by Lucullus, cf. also 77. Epicurus: as above in<br />
19, 79 etc.<br />
§84. Geminum: cf. 56. Nota: cf. 58 and the speech <strong>of</strong> Lucullus passim. Ne sit ... potest: cf. 80<br />
quasi quaeratur quid sit, non quid videatur. Si ipse erit for ipse apparently = is ipse cf. M.D.F. II.<br />
93.<br />
§85. Quod non est: = qu. n. e. id quod esse videtur. Sui generis: cf. 50, 54, 56. Nullum esse<br />
pilum, etc.: a strong expression <strong>of</strong> this belief is found in Seneca Ep.. 113, 13, qu. R. and P. 380.<br />
Note the word Stoicum; Lucullus is <strong>of</strong> course not Stoic, but Antiochean. Nihil interest: the same<br />
opinion is expressed in 40, where see my note. Visa res: Halm writes res a re, it is not necessary,<br />
however, either in Gk. or Lat. to express both <strong>of</strong> two related things when a word is inserted like<br />
differat here, which shows that they are related. Cf. the elliptic constructions in Gk. with ??µ???<br />
?, µeta??, µes??, and such words. Eodem caelo atque: a difficult passage. MSS. have aqua, an<br />
error easy, as Halm notes, to a scribe who understood caelum to be the heaven, and not ???fe??<br />
?, a graving tool. Faber and other old edd. defend the MSS. reading, adducing passages to show<br />
that sky and water were important in the making <strong>of</strong> statues. For aqua Orelli conj. acu =<br />
schraffirnadel, C.F. Hermann caelatura, which does not seem to be a Ciceronian word. Halm's<br />
aeque introduces a construction with ceteris omnibus which is not only not Ciceronian, but not<br />
Latin at all. I read atque, taking ceteris omnibus to be the abl. neut. "all the other implements."<br />
Formerly I conj. ascra, or atque in, which last leading would make omnibus = om. statuis.<br />
Alexandros: Lysippus alone was privileged to make statues <strong>of</strong> Alexander, as Apelles alone was<br />
allowed to paint the conqueror, cf. Ad Fam. V. 12, 7.<br />
§86. Anulo: cf. 54. Aliqui: n. on 61. Gallinarium: cf. 57. Adhibes artem: cf. 20 adhibita arte.<br />
Pictor ... tibicen: so in 20. Simul inflavit: note simul for simul atque, cf. T.D. IV. 12. Nostri<br />
quidem: i.e. Romani. Admodum: i.e. adm. pauci cf. De Leg. III. 32 pauci enim atque admodum<br />
pauci. Praeclara: evidently a fem. adj. agreeing with natura. Dav. and Ern. made the adj. neuter,<br />
and understanding sunt interpreted "these arguments I am going to urge are grand, viz. quanto<br />
art. etc."<br />
§87. Scilicet: Germ. "naturlich." Fabricata sit: cf. 30, 119, 121 and N.D. I. 19. Ne modo: for<br />
modo ne, a noticeable use. Physicis: probably neut. Contra sensus: he wrote both for and against<br />
s????e?a; cf. R. and P. 360 and 368. Carneadem: Plut. Sto. Rep. 1036 B relates that Carneades<br />
in reading the arguments <strong>of</strong> Chrysippus against the senses, quoted the address <strong>of</strong> Andromache to<br />
Hector: da?µ???e f??se? se t? s?? µe???. From Diog. IV. 62 we learn that he thus parodied the<br />
line qu. in n. on 75, e? µ? ?a? ?? ???s?pp?? ??? a? ?? e??.<br />
§88. Diligentissime: in 48—53. Dicebas: in 52 imbecillius adsentiuntur. Siccorum: cf. Cic.<br />
Contra Rullum I. 1 consilia siccorum. Madere is common with the meaning "to be drunk," as in<br />
Plaut. Mostellaria I. 4, 6. Non diceret: Orelli was induced by Goer. to omit the verb, with one<br />
MS., cf. 15 and I. 13. The omission <strong>of</strong> a verb in the subjunctive is, Madv. says on D.F. I. 9,<br />
impossible; for other ellipses <strong>of</strong> the verb see M.D.F. V. 63. Alcmaeo autem: i.e. Ennius' own<br />
Alcmaeon; cf. 52. Somnia reri: the best MSS. have somniare. Goer. reads somnia, supplying non<br />
fuisse vera. I have already remarked on his extraordinary power <strong>of</strong> supplying. Halm conj. somnia<br />
reprobare, forgetting that the verb reprobare belongs to third century Latinity, also sua visa<br />
