[76] Mommsen calls him a "respected Senator." M. De Guerle,
in his preface to the oration Pro Marcello, claims for him
the position of a delegate. He was probably both--though we
may doubt whether he was "respected" after his flogging.

[77] Ad Att., lib. v., 11: "Marcellus foede in Comensi;" and
he goes on to say that even if the man had been no
magistrate, and therefore not entitled to full Roman
treatment, yet he was a Transalpine, and therefore not
subject to the scourge. See Mr. Watson's note in his Select
Letters.

It might be that an intercalary month should be added, and
cause delay.

[93] This mode of greeting a victorious general had no doubt
become absurd in the time of Cicero, when any body of
soldiers would be only too willing to curry favor with the
officer over them by this acclamation. Cicero ridicules
this; but is at the same time open to the seduction--as a
man with us will laugh at the Sir Johns and Sir Thomases who
are seated around him, but still, when his time comes, will
be pleased that his wife shall be called "My Lady" like the
rest of them.

[102] The amount seems so incredible that I cannot but
suspect an error in the MS. The sum named is two hundred
Attic talents. The Attic talent, according to Smith's
dictionary, was worth L243 13_s._ It may be that this large
amount had been collected over a series of years.

the transaction, and in this he asserts, as though
