FOOTNOTES: [1952] _Lamia._ Cf. lib. xx., Fr. 1. _Oxyodontes._ Scaliger's emendation for Ixiodontes. _Gumiæ._ Vid. lib. iv., Fr. 1. [1953] _Leonem ægrotum._ Horace has copied the fable, i., Epist. i., 73, "Olim quod vulpes ægroto cauta leoni respondit, referam. Quia me vestigia terrent omnia te advorsum spectantia, nulla retrorsum." [1954] _Deductus_, "tenuis; a lanâ quæ ad tenuitatem nendo deducitur." Serv. Cf. Virg., Ecl., vi., 5, "pastorem pingues pascere oportet oves, deductum dicere carmen." [1955] _Invitare_, Nonius explains by "repleri," and quotes Sallust. Hist., "Se ibi cibo vinoque invitarent." So Plaut., Amph., I., i., 130, "Invitavit sese in cœna plusculum." Suet., Aug., 77, "quoties largissimè se invitaret senos sextantes non excessit." _Dapsilius._ So "Dapsiliter suos amicos alit." Næv. ap. Charis. [1956] _Pretium_, "præmium." Non. Virg., Æn., v., 111, "Et palmæ pretium victoribus." [1957] _Proscindere._ Cf. Varr., R. R., i., 29, "terram quum primum arant _proscindere_ appellant: quum iterum, _affringere_ quod primâ aratione gleba grandes solent excitari." Virg., Georg., ii., 237. Ov., Met., vii., 219. [1958] _Lege_, "Omnia tum endo mucho (μυχῷ) videas fervente micare."--Turnebe's emendation. [1959] The invention of bits is ascribed by Pliny and Virgil to the Thessalian Lapithæ. Plin., vii., 56. Virg., Georg., iii., 15, "Frena Pelethronii Lapithæ, gyrosque dedere." Cf. Lucan., Phars., vi., 396, _seq_. Val. Flac., i., 424, "Oraque Thessalico melior contundere fræno Castor." Gerlach proposes, therefore, to read _equam_ for _acrem_, as young ladies are often compared by the poets to fillies. Cf. Hor., iii., Od. xi., 9, "Quæ velut latis equa trima campis, ludit exultim." Anacr., Fr. 75. Heraclid. Pont., All. Hom., p. 16. «Vid. Theogn., 257. Arist., Lys., 1308. Eurip., Hec., 144. Hip., 546.» [1960] _Commentavi._ The words of an adulterous wife, inventing some excuse to keep her assignation. _Aurifex._ Cf. Plaut., Aul., III., v., 34. Cic., Orat., ii., 38. [1961] Dusa refers this to the fox in the fable, quoted above. _Ominis_ is Gerlach's emendation for _hominis_ and _hemonis_. (_Hemo_ was an older form of _Homo_, hence Nemo, ne hemo.) [1962] _Mansum_ is the food that has been chewed by the nurse preparatory to its being given to the child. Cf. Cic., Orat., ii., 39, "tenuissimas particulas, atque omnia minima _mansa_, ut nutrices infantibus pueris, in os inserant." Quint., X., i. Pers., iii., 17, "pappare minutum poscis." Plaut., Epid., V., ii., 62. It is expressed by the Greek ψωμίζειν. Arist., Lys., 19. Thesm., 692. [1963] _Clarans._ Cf. Hor., iv., Od. iii., 3, "Ilium non labor Isthmius clarabit pugilem." [1964] These are the demands of an imperious, perhaps a dowered wife. The speech of Megadorus in the Aulularia of Plautus (iii., Sc. v.), admirably illustrates this Fragment. In the list of slaves which the "dotata" expects, we find the Aurifex, Lanarius, Sarcinatores, strophiarii, semizonarii, textores. The Gerdius is probably the same as the Lenarius: as it is explained in the Glos. γέρδιος, ὑφαντής. _Zonarius._ Cf. Cic. p. Flac, vii., 17. [1965] Probably the indignant expostulation of some young man to a Lena. Compare the scene between Argyrippus and Cleæreta, in the Asinaria of Plautus (i., Sc. iii.). _Exsultare_, "Gestu vel dictu injuriam facere." Non. Gerlach reads _deures_. The old reading is _deaures_, which is defensible. Cf. xxvi., Fr. 8, _deargentassere_. [1966] _Maximus._ Q. Fabius Maximus Cunctator, whose son was notorious for his profligacy and luxuriousness. This is probably, therefore, part of the old man's speech against the licentiousness of the young. [1967] _Androgyni._ Cf. Herod., iv., 67, c. not. Bähr. Juv., vi., 373, "Tonsoris damno tantum rapit Heliodorus." [1968] _Inductum._ Thus explained by Nonius. Cf. Tibul., I., vi., 1, "Semper ut inducar blandos offers mihi vultus." [1969] _Exanclaris._ Ennius in Andromacha, "Quantis cum ærumnis illum exantlavi diem." Fr. 6, p. 36, ed. Bothe. Cic., Tusc., i., 49; ii., 8. Acad., ii., 34. On the difference of the forms "exanclare and exantlare," vid. Burmann, ad Quintil., Inst., i., 6. Cf. Æsch., P. V., 375. Choëph., 746. Eurip., Hipp., 898. [1970] _Sucerda_, from sus and cerno. [1971] _Gai._ Van Heusde, Burmann, and Merula agree in supposing these to be the words of Fabius Cunctator to C. Minutius Rufus. «Cf. Liv., xxii., 8, 12, where, however, most of the Edd. call him Marcus.» _Incilare_, "increpare, improbare." Non. Pacuv. in Dulor, "Si quis hâc me oratione incilet, quid respondeam?" Fr. 28, p. 121, ed. Bothe. Lucret., iii., 976, "jure increpet inciletque." [1972] _Summatim._ Cic, Att., v., 16. Suet., Tib., 61, "Commentario quem summatim breviterque composuit." [1973] _Calvus_, probably either L. Cæcilius Metellus Calvus, consul with Q. Fabius Maximus Servilianus, B.C. 142, or his son L. Cæcilius Metellus Calvus Dalmaticus, consul with L. Aurelius Cotta, B.C. 119, who repaired out of his spoils the temple of Castor and Pollux. From the form of the word _Palatina_, Dusa and Gerlach suppose it to imply the name of a tribe; though Gerlach says we have no evidence of the existence of a tribe called from the hill «but cf. Cic., Verr., II., ii., 43». Cf. ad Pers., v., 73, "Publius Velina." [1974] _Hilum_ is the primitive from which nihilum is formed (i. e., ne-hilum). Cf. Poet. ap. Cic., Tusc., I., vi., "Sisyphus versat saxum sudans nitendo neque proficit |
