The solemn appellation is used in banter. From the long a Haupt (on Ov. 1. c.) favours the derivation from gravidivus, rather than that from gradior. Liv. I 20 § 4 of Numa Salios item duodecim Marti Gradivo legit. V 52 § 7 Camillus after naming the Capitol and the hearth of Vesta, asks quid de ancilibus vestris Mars Gradive tuque, Quirine pater?

113 114 AUDIS, IUPPITER, HAEC cf. 119 n. and the address to Mars II 130-2 nec galeam quassas, nec terram cuspide pulsas nec quereris patri? vade ergo et cede severi | iugeribus campi, quem neglegis! Pers. II 23-30.

114 LABRA MOVES Hor. ep. 1 16 60. cf. s. 1 I 20-22. Pers. V 184 labra moves tacitus.

AUT else Tei Nägelsbach § 194. Hand 1 538-540. 116 CARBONE in thy censer.

CHARTA Hor. ep. II I 269 270 lest deferar in vicum vendentem tus et odores | et piper et quidquid chartis amicitur ineptis. Mart. III 2 5 to his book: to whom shall I address you? quick, name an advocate. lest turis piperisve sis cucullus.

PIA TURA Mart. XIII 4 that Germanicus (Domitian) may late rule the court of heaven, and long rule earth, da pia tura Iovi.

117 IECUR VI 392. X 355.

PORCI X 255.

119 VAGELLI XVI 23 declamatoris mulino corde Vagelli. Borghesi (oeuvres v 534) inferring from this verse that this 'mulish' orator had the ius imaginum, identifies him with L. Vagellius cos. suff. under Claudius, probably 47 A.D. named in a s. c. in Reines. inscr. VII II. Haubold monum. legal. p. 197. Possibly the statue of Vagellius (cf. VII 125-8) was mutilated or otherwise maltreated (cf. 1 129-131). Mart. VIII

40 Priapus, guardian of the wood, ex quo natus es et potes renasci, is charged to keep guard on the firewood, with the significant hint, et ipse lignum es.

119 120 Mart. IV 21 nullos esse deos, inane caelum | affirmat Segius probatque, quod se | factum, dum negat haec, videt beatum.

120-142 Hear plain words of comfort, drawn from no wisdom of the schools. Your pulse may be trusted even to an apprentice only for dangerous cases must leading physicians be called in. If the wrong done to you stands alone in its enormity, then beat your breast, if you will, and smite your forehead: it is the way of the world: money departed is bewailed with genuine tears. But if in every assize men forswear bonds, under their own hand and seal, why should you claim exemption from the general lot, 'as son to a white hen, poor we the dregs and baser chickens of unhappy eggs?'

DOGMATA Sen. ep. 95 § 10 nulla ars contemplativa sine decretis suis est, quae Graeci vocant dogmata, nobis vel decreta licet adpellare vel scita vel placita, quae et in geometria et in

122 TUNICA not worn by the Cynics Lucian cynic. I rí ποτέ συ, οὗτος, πώγωνα μὲν ἔχεις καὶ κόμην, χιτῶνα δὲ οὐκ έχεις; Antonin. IV 30 ὁ μὲν χωρὶς χιτῶνος φιλοσοφεῖ. anth. Pal. XI 154 5 6 Ερμοδότου τόδε δόγμα τὸ πάνσοφον· εἴ τις ἀχαλκεῖ, | μηκέτι πεινάτω, θεὶς τὸ χιτωνάριον. Who introduced the double pallium and laid aside the tunic, was a moot point: whether Antisthenes (DL. VI 13) or his scholar Diogenes (ib. 22. 76. Hor. ep. 1 17 25 quem duplici panno patientia velat) or Krates (Stob. xcvII 31 p. 524).

143-173 Your grievance is slight, when compared with the charges that occupy our courts from dawn to sunset: hired bandits, arson, sacrilege, poison, parricide: a single house is a miniature of the world; attend on our city prefect but for a few days, and then dare to complain of your lot. None stare at goître in the Alps, or hanging breasts, larger than the sturdy suckling, in Meroe, watchet eyes and flaxen hair in a German. Seen in Rome, a battle of dwarfs and cranes would make you split with laughter; in the land of pygmies, where one foot is the standard height, no one smiles at the spectacle.
