illud: cf. 121. Iacere: 79. In his discrepant: I. 42 in his constitit.
§135. Moveri: ???e?s?a?, 29. Laetitia efferri: I. 38. Probabilia: the removal of passion and
delight is easier than that of fear and pain. Sapiensne ... deleta sit: see Madv. D.F. p. 806, ed. 2,
who is severe upon the reading of Orelli (still kept by Klotz), non timeat? nec si patria deleatur?
non doleat? nec, si deleta sit? which involves the use of nec for ne ... quidem. I have followed
the reading of Madv. in his Em., not the one he gives (after Davies) in D.F. ne patria deleatur,
which Halm takes, as does Baiter. Mine is rather nearer the MSS. Decreta: some MSS. durata;
Halm conj. dictata. Mediocritates: µes?pete?, as in Aristotle; cf. T.D. III. 11, 22, 74. Permotione:
???ese?. Naturalem ... modum: so T.D. III. 74. Crantoris: sc. librum, for the omission of which
see n. on I. 13; add Quint. IX. 4, 18, where Spalding wished to read in Herodoti, supplying libro.
Aureolus ... libellus: it is not often that two diminutives come together in Cic., and the usage is
rather colloquial; cf. T.D. III. 2, N.D. III. 43, also for aureolus 119 flumen aureum. Panaetius: he
had addressed to Tubero a work de dolore; see D.F. IV. 23. Cotem: T.D. IV. 43, 48, Seneca De
Ira III. 3, where the saying is attributed to Aristotle (iram calcar esse virtutis). Dicebant: for the
repetition of this word cf. 146, I. 33.
§136. Sunt enim Socratica: the Socratic origin of the Stoic paradoxes is affirmed in Parad. 4,
T.D. III. 10. Mirabilia: Cic. generally translates pa?ad??a by admirabilia as in D.F. IV. 74, or
admiranda, under which title he seems to have published a work different from the Paradoxa,
which we possess: see Bait., and Halm's ed. of the Phil. works (1861), p. 994. Quasi: = almost, ?
?? ep?? e?pe??. Voltis: cf. the Antiochean opinion in I. 18, 22. Solos reges: for all this see Zeller
253 sq. Solos divites: ??t? µ???? ?? s?f?? p???s???, Parad. VI. Liberum: Parad. V. ??t? µ????
?? s?f?? e?e??e??? ?a? pa? af??? d?????. Furiosus: Parad. IV. ??t? pa? af??? µa??eta?.
§137. Tam sunt defendenda: cf. 8, 120. Bono modo: a colloquial and Plautine expression; see
Forc. Ad senatum starent: "were in waiting on the senate;" cf. such phrases as stare ad cyathum,
etc. Carneade: the vocative is Carneades in De Div. I. 23. Huic Stoico: i.e. Diogeni; cf. D.F. II.
24. Halm brackets Stoico, and after him Bait. Sequi volebat: "professed to follow;" cf. D.F. V. 13
Strato physicum se voluit "gave himself out to be a physical philosopher:" also Madv. on D.F. II.
102. Ille noster: Dav. vester, as in 143 noster Antiochus. But in both places Cic. speaks as a
friend of Antiochus; cf. 113. Balbutiens: "giving an uncertain sound;" cf. De Div. I. 5, T.D. V. 75.
§138. Mihi veremini: cf. Caes. Bell. Gall. V. 9 veritus navibus. Halm and Bait. follow Christ's
conj. verenti, removing the stop at voltis. Opinationem: the ???s?? of Sext., e.g. P.H. III. 280.
Quod minime voltis: cf. I. 18. De finibus: not "concerning," but "from among" the different fines;
otherwise fine would have been written. Cf. I. 4 si qui de nostris. Circumcidit et amputat: these
two verbs often come together, as in D.F. I. 44; cf. also D.F. III. 31. Si vacemus omni molestia:
which Epicurus held to be the highest pleasure. Cum honestate: Callipho in 131. Prima naturae
commoda: Cic. here as in D.F. IV. 59, V. 58 confuses the Stoic p??ta ?ata f?s?? with ta t?? s?
µat?? a?a?a ?a? ta e?t?? of the Peripatetics, for which see I. 19. More on the subject in Madvig's
fourth Excursus to the D.F. Relinquit: Orelli relinqui against the MSS.
§139. Polemonis ... finibus: all these were composite fines. Adhuc: I need scarcely point out that
this goes with habeo and not with probabilius; adhuc for etiam with the comparative does not
occur till the silver writers. Labor eo: cf. Horace's nunc in Aristippi furtim praecepta relabor,
also D.F. V. 6 rapior illuc: revocat autem Antiochus. Reprehendit manu: M.D.F. II. 3. Pecudum: I.
6, Parad. 14 voluptatem esse summum bonum, quae mihi vox pecudum videtur esse non
hominum; similar expressions occur with a reference to Epicurus in De Off. I. 105, Lael. 20, 32.
T.D. V. 73, D.F. II. 18; cf. also Aristoph. Plut. 922 p??ßat??? ß??? ?e?e?? and ß?s??µat?? ß???
in Aristotle. The meaning of pecus is well shown in T.D. I. 69. Iungit deo: Zeller 176 sq. Animum
solum: the same criticism is applied to Zeno's finis in D.F. IV. 17, 25. Ut ... sequar: for the
repeated ut see D.F. V. 10, Madv. Gram. 480, obs. 2. Bait. brackets the second ut with Lamb.
Carneades ... defensitabat: this is quite a different view from that in 131; yet another of
Carneades is given in T.D. V. 83. Istum finem: MSS. ipsum; the two words are often confused, as
