[49] _E.g._ Pallentem Famam, ch. 13. The expression--Augustus eloquentiam sient cetera _pacaverat_; and that so admirably paraphrased by Pitt (ch.
36), Magna eloquentia, sicat flamma, materia alitur et motibus excitatur et urendo clarescit.

[2] Cf. Dom. 12, Interfuisse me _adolescentulum_ memini c.u.m inspiceretur senex (a Domitiano). From Gram. 4, Ner. 57, as compared with this, we should infer that he was about fifteen in the year 90.

The other pa.s.sage (_Ad Aen._ 2, 683) describes the different priestly caps, the _apex_, the _tubulus_, and the _galerus_.
[11] Etym. 18, 2, 3.
[12] Perhaps the word _Stemma_ should be supplied before _syngenikon_.
[13] In one MS. is appended to Suetonius's works a list of grammatical observations called _Differentiae sermonum Remmi Palaemonis ex libro Suetoni Tranquilli qui inscribitur Pratum_. Roth prints these, but does not believe them genuine.
[14] It will be found _Ner._ 47-49.
[15] Qualis artifex pereo.
[16] Many of these e.j.a.c.u.l.a.t.i.o.ns are in Greek. On this see note i. p. 37.
[17] Usually (from the Cod. Bamberg.) Julius Florus; but Mommsen considers this a corruption.
[18] Riese, _Anthol. Lat._ p. 168-70; ib. No. 87, p. 101. Some have ascribed the _Pervigilium Veneris_ to him.

[29] Ep. ad M. Caes ii. 1.
[30] In complaining of fate, he suddenly breaks off with the words: _Fata a fando appellata aiunt; hoccine est recte fari?_ -- 7.
[31] On this see a fuller account, pp. 478, 474.
[32] Some of the more interesting chapters in his work may be referred to:--On religion, i. 7; iv. 9; iv. 11; v. 12; vi. 1. On law, iv. 3; iv. 4; iv. 5; v. 19; vii. 15; x. 20. On Virgil, i. 23; ii. 3; ii. 4; v. 8; vi. 6; vii. 12; vii. 20; ix. 9; x. 16; xiii. 1; xiii. 20. On Sall.u.s.t, i. 15; ii.

[33] And those often rare ones, as _solitavisse_.
