§ 74 ut si quis. Cf. above on § 15 [and Tusc. II 12, 67, Seyffert Schol. Lat. 1 186, 11 92, J. E. B. M.] We have a different use below § 86, and 1 88.

§ 101 determinatio. [Tertull. adv. Marc. 1 34, Iren. ш 12 § 9, J. E. B. M.] admirabilitate. This word, like admirabiliter (11 132), seems to be only used by Cic., cf. above § 90 and Off. 11 38 haec animi despicientia admirabilitatem magnam facit.

§ 103 interpositu. The only other example quoted is from Plin. N. H. п 10 § 47, perhaps copied from Cicero.

§ 107 cum totius. At the end of n. read obstipum. The line I have cited from Lucilius is assigned to Caecilius (Imbrii 1. 99) by Ribbeck, who gives it in a different form resupina obstipo capitulo sibi ventum facere tunicula.

§ 124 bestiis cibus quaeritur. Cf. Off. 111 38 honesta bonis viris quaeruntur. Comparing Cluent. 70 mihi ipsi praeter periculum quid quaeretur, and the Active quaerit sibi cibum bestia, we shall see that this Dat. is closely connected with that of 'Advantage'. See above on 1 94 adhibetur homini, Madv. Fin. 1 11, Draeg. § 189.

§ 144 a quo. See n. on § 134 ab iis.

flexuosum iter. [cf. Cels. vIII 1 in aure quoque primo rectum et simplex iter, procedendo flexuosum, juxta cerebrum in multa et tenuia foramina diducitur; the word flex. is already used by Cato R. R. 33. 1. J. E. B. M.]

irrepere seems to me better suited to minima bestiola than the irrumpere of MSS, compare however Ac. II 125 imagines in animos nostros per corpus irrumpere, ib. 136.

tegendi causa factae...et ne voces laberentur. [For the change of construction, cf. Liv. XXI 51 § 5 consuli litterae de transitu Hannibalis et ut collegae ferret auxilium missae, J. E. B. M.]

II 43.

§ 167 nemo.

LIB. III.

§ 23 ullam vim esse. Perhaps ullam may be retained, if we translate has no such power as to'.

earum artium homines. Cf. Orat. 1 124 ceterarum artium homines, ib. 11 37 si qui aliarum artium.

§ 43 age porro. Cf. Verr. v 56.

§ 59 Syria Cyproque concepta. The passage in which Tacitus describes the visit of Titus to the shrine at Paphos (Hist. 11 3) supplies another example of the ablative after conceptus, and suggests the thought that possibly Cinyraque, rather than Cyproque, may be the true correction of the Cyroque of мss: fama recentior tradit a Cinyra sacratum templum deamque ipsam conceptam mari huc appulsam.

M. TULLII CICERONIS

DE NATURA DEORUM.

LIBER TERTIUS.

I. QUAE cum Balbus dixisset, tum arridens Cotta, Sero, 1 inquit, mihi, Balbe, praecipis, quid defendam. Ego enim te disputante, quid contra dicerem, mecum ipse meditabar, neque tam refellendi tui causa quam ea, quae minus intellegebam, 5 requirendi. Cum autem suo cuique judicio sit utendum, difficile factu est me id sentire, quod tu velis. Hic Velleius, Nescis, 2 inquit, quanta cum exspectatione, Cotta, sim te auditurus. Jucundus enim Balbo nostro sermo tuus contra Epicurum fuit; praebebo igitur ego me tibi vicissim attentum contra Stoicos 10 auditorem. Spero enim te, ut soles, bene paratum venire. Tum Cotta, Sic mehercule, inquit, Vellei; neque enim mihi 3 par ratio cum Lucilio est ac tecum fuit. Qui tandem? inquit ille. Quia mihi videtur Epicurus vester de dis immortalibus non magnopere pugnare; tantum modo negare deos esse non 15 audet, ne quid invidiae subeat aut criminis. Cum vero deos nihil agere, nihil curare confirmat membrisque humanis esse praeditos, sed eorum membrorum usum nullum habere, ludere
