e failed. _Convicio_: cf. 34.
_Completa et conferta_: n. on I. 27. _Quod movebitur ... cedat_: this is
the theory of motion disproved by Lucr. I. 370 sq., cf. also _N.D._ II. 83.
Halm writes _quo quid_ for _quod_ (with Christ), and inserts _corpus_
before _cedat_, Baiter following him. The text is sound. Trans. "whatever
body is pushed, gives way." _Tam sit mirabilis_: n. on I. 25.
_Innumerabilis_: 55. _Supra infra_: n. on 92. _Ut nos nunc simus_, etc.: n.
on fragm. 13 of _Ac. Post._ _Disputantis_: 55. _Animo videre_: cf. 22.
_Imagines_: [Greek: eidola], which Catius translated (_Ad Fam._ XV. 16) by
_spectra_, Zeller 432. _Tu vero_: etc. this is all part of the personal
_convicium_ supposed to be directly addressed to Cic. by the Antiocheans,
and beginning at _Tune aut inane_ above. _Commenticiis_: a favourite word
of Cic., cf. _De Div._ II. 113.
Sec.126. _Quae tu_: elliptic for _ut comprobem quae tu comprobas_ cf. 125.
_Impudenter_: 115. _Atque haud scio_: _atque_ here = [Greek: kaitoi], "and
yet," n. on 5 _ac vereor_. _Invidiam_: cf. 144. _Cum his_: i.e. _aliis cum
his_. _Summus deus_: "the highest form of the deity" who was of course one
in the Stoic system. Ether is the finest fire, and [Greek: pyr technikon]
is one of the definitions of the Stoic deity, cf. I. 29, Zeller 161 sq.
_Solem_: as of course being the chief seat of fire. _Solis autem ... nego
credere_: Faber first gave _ac monet_ for MSS. _admonens_, which Halm
retains, Manut. then restored to its place _permensi refertis_, which MSS.
have after _nego_. _Hic_, which MSS. have after _decempeda_, Madv. turns
into _hunc_, while _hoc_, which stands immediately after _nego_, he ejects
(_Em._ 187). _Ergo_ after _vos_ is of course analeptic. Halm departs
somewhat from this arrangement. _Leniter_: Halm and Hermann _leviter_; the
former reads _inverecundior_ after Morgenstern, for what reason it is
difficult to see.
Sec.127. _Pabulum_: similar language in _D.F._ II. 46. _Consideratio
contemplatioque_: Cic. is fond of this combination, as _De Off._ I. 153;
cf. Wesenberg on _T.D._ V. 9, who qu. similar combinations from _D.F._ V.
11, 58. _Elatiores_: MSS. mostly have _latiores_. Halm with Lamb. reads
_altiores_, in support of which reading Dav. qu. _D.F._ II. 51, Val.
Flaccus _Argon._ II. 547, add Virg. _Aen._ VI. 49, Cic. _Orat._ 119.
_Exigua et minima_: [Greek: smikra kai elachista]. Madv. on _D.F._ V. 78
notes that except here Cic. always writes _exigua et paene
