[Footnote 901: All the editions have the word vitem; but we might
conjecture, from the large produce, that it is a mistake for vineam, a
vineyard: in which case the word vasa might be rendered, not bottles, but
casks. The amphora held about nine gallons. Pliny mentions that Remmius
bought a farm near the turning on the Nomentan road, at the tenth
mile-stone from Rome.]
[Footnote 902: "Usque ad infamiam oris."--See TIBERIUS, p. 220, and the

[Footnote 910: "Hordearium rhetorem."]
[Footnote 911: From the manner in which Suetonius speaks of the old
custom of chaining one of the lowest slaves to the outer gate, to supply
the place of a watch-dog, it would appear to have been disused in his
time.]
[Footnote 912: The work in which Cornelius Nepos made this statement is
lost.]
[Footnote 913: Pliny mentions with approbation C. Epidius, who wrote some
treatises in which trees are represented as speaking; and the period in
which he flourished, agrees with that assigned to the rhetorician here
named by Suetonius. Plin. xvii. 25.]
