ivendi_: "_tralaticium hoc apud omnes philosophos_"
_M.D.F._ I. 42. Sextus constantly talks about [Greek: he oneiropoloumene
peri ton bion techne] (_Pyrrh. Hyp._ III. 250) the existence of which he
disproves to his own satisfaction (_Adv. Math._ XI. 168 sq). _Ille vir
bonus_: in all ancient systems, even the Epicurean, the happiness of the
_sapiens_ must be proof against the rack; cf. esp. _D.F._ III. 29, 75,
_T.D._ V. 73, Zeller 450, and the similar description of the [Greek:
sophos] in Plato's _Gorgias_. _Potius quam aut_: Lamb. _ut_; but I think
C.F. Hermann is right in asserting after Wopkens that Cic. _never_ inserts
_ut_ after _potius quam_ with the subj. Tischer on _T.D._ II. 52 affirms
that _ut_ is frequently found, but gives no exx. For the meaning cf. _De
Off._ I. 86, Aug. _Cont. Ac._ II. 12 who says the _sapiens_ of the Academy
must be _desertor officiorum omnium_. _Comprehensi ... constituti_: cf. the
famous _abiit, evasit, excessit, crupit_. _Iis rebus_: note the assumption
that the _sensation_ corresponds to the _thing_ which causes it. _Adsensus
sit ... possint_: nearly all edd. before Halm read _possunt_, but the subj.
expresses the possibility as present to the mind of the supposed _vir
bonus_. Cf. Madv. _Gram._ 368.

Sec.24. _Primum_: out of place, see on 21. _Agere_: the dogmatist always held
that the sceptic must, if consistent, be [Greek: anenergetos en bioi]
(Sext. _Pyrrh. Hyp._ I. 23). _Extremum_: similar attempts to translate
[Greek: telos] are made in D.F. I. 11, 29, V. 17. _Cum quid agere_: cf. I.
23 for the phrase _Naturae accommodatum_. a purely Stoic expression,
[Greek: homoiomenon te physei]; cf. 38 and _D.F._ V. 17, also III. 16,
Zeller 227, footnote, R. and P. 390. _Impellimur_: [Greek: kinoumetha],
Sext. _Adv. Math._ VII. 391, as often.

Sec.25. _Oportet videri_: "ought to be seen." For this use cf. 39, 81 and 122
of this book. _Videri_ at the end of this section has the weak sense, "to
seem." Lucretius often passes rapidly from the one use to the other; cf. I.
262 with I. 270, and Munro's n., also _M.D.F._ II. 52, _Em. Liv._ p. 42.
_Non poterit_: as the Academics allege. _Naturae ... alienum_: Cic. uses
this adjective with the dat, and also with the ablative preceded by _ab_; I
doubt whether the phrase _maiestate alienum_ (without the preposition) can
be right in _De Div._ II. 102, where the best texts still keep it. _Non
occurrit ... aget_: occurrit is probably the perfect. Cf. n. on 12
