even without _quidem_, cf. Krebs and Allgayer, _Antibarbarus_
ed. 4 on _quin_.
Sec.83. _In parvo lis sit_: Durand's em. for the _in parvulis sitis_ of the
MSS., which Goer. alone defends. _Quattuor capita_: these were given in 40
by Lucullus, cf. also 77. _Epicurus_: as above in 19, 79 etc.
Sec.84. _Geminum_: cf. 56. _Nota_: cf. 58 and the speech of Lucullus _passim_.
_Ne sit ... potest_: cf. 80 _quasi quaeratur quid sit, non quid videatur.
Si ipse erit_ for _ipse_ apparently = _is ipse_ cf. _M.D.F._ II. 93.
Sec.85. _Quod non est_: = _qu. n. e. id quod esse videtur_. _Sui generis_: cf.
50, 54, 56. _Nullum esse pilum_, etc.: a strong expression of this belief
is found in Seneca _Ep._. 113, 13, qu. R. and P. 380. Note the word
_Stoicum_; Lucullus is of course not Stoic, but Antiochean. _Nihil
interest_: the same opinion is expressed in 40, where see my note. _Visa
res_: Halm writes _res a re_, it is not necessary, however, either in Gk.
or Lat. to express _both_ of two related things when a word is inserted
like _differat_ here, which shows that they _are_ related. Cf. the elliptic
constructions in Gk. with [Greek: homoion, metaxy, mesos], and such words.
_Eodem caelo atque_: a difficult passage. MSS. have _aqua_, an error easy,
as Halm notes, to a scribe who understood _caelum_ to be the heaven, and
not [Greek: glypheion], a graving tool. Faber and other old edd. defend the
MSS. reading, adducing passages to show that sky and water were important
in the making of statues. For _aqua_ Orelli conj. _acu_ = _schraffirnadel_,
C.F. Hermann _caelatura_, which does not seem to be a Ciceronian word.
Halm's _aeque_ introduces a construction with _ceteris omnibus_ which is
not only not Ciceronian, but not Latin at all. I read _atque_, taking
_ceteris omnibus_ to be the abl. neut. "all the other implements." Formerly
I conj. _ascra_, or _atque in_, which last leading would make _omnibus_ =
_om. statuis_. _Alexandros_: Lysippus alone was privileged to make statues
of Alexander, as Apelles alone was allowed to paint the conqueror, cf. _Ad
Fam._ V. 12, 7.
Sec.86. _Anulo_: cf. 54. _Aliqui_: n. on 61. _Gallinarium_: cf. 57. _Adhibes
artem_: cf. 20 _adhibita arte_. _Pictor ... tibicen_: so in 20. _Simul
inflavit_: note _simul_ for _simul atque_, cf. _T.D._ IV. 12. _Nostri
quidem_: i.e. _Romani_. _Admodum_: i.e. _adm. pauci_ cf. _De Leg._ III. 32
_pauci enim atque admodum pauci_. _Praeclara_: evidently a fem. adj.
agreeing with _nat
