i numquam_ of MSS. The question _uter est prudentior_ is intended to press home the dilemma in which Cicero has placed the supposed _sapiens_. All the other emendations I have seen are too unsatisfactory to be enumerated. Sec.133. _Non posse ... esse_: this seems to me sound; Bait. however reads _non esse illa probanda sap._ after Lamb., who also conj. _non posse illa probata esse_. _Paria_: _D.F._ III. 48, _Paradoxa_ 20 sq., Zeller 250. _Praecide_: [Greek: syntomos] or [Greek: synelon eipe], cf. _Cat. Mai._ 57, _Ad Att._ VIII. 4, X. 16. _Inquit_: n. on 79. _Quid quod quae_: so Guietus with the approval of Madv. (_Em._ 203) reads for MSS. _quid quae_ or _quid quaeque_, Halm and Bait., follow Moser in writing _Quid? si quae_ removing the stop at _paria_, and make _in utramque partem_ follow _dicantur_, on Orelli's suggestion. When several relative pronouns come together the MSS. often omit one. _Dicebas_: in 27. _Incognito_: 133. Sec.134. _Etiam_: = "yes," Madv. _Gram._ 454. _Non beatissimam_: I. 22, n. _Deus ille_: i.e. more than man (of Aristotle's [Greek: e theos e therion]), if he can do without other advantages. For the omission of _est_ after the emphatic _ille_ cf. 59, n. _Theophrasto_, etc.: n. on I. 33, 35. _Dicente_: before this Halm after Lamb., followed by Bait., inserts _contra_, the need for which I fail to see. _Et hic_: i.e. Antiochus. _Ne sibi constet_: Cic. argues in _T.D._ V. that there cannot be degrees in happiness. _Tum hoc ... tum illud_: cf. 121. _Iacere_: 79. _In his discrepant_: I. 42 _in his constitit_. Sec.135. _Moveri_: [Greek: kineisthai], 29. _Laetitia efferri_: I. 38. _Probabilia_: the removal of passion and delight is easier than that of fear and pain. _Sapiensne ... deleta sit_: see Madv. _D.F._ p. 806, ed. 2, who is severe upon the reading of Orelli (still kept by Klotz), _non timeat? nec si patria deleatur? non doleat? nec, si deleta sit?_ which involves the use of _nec_ for _ne ... quidem_. I have followed the reading of Madv. in his _Em._, not the one he gives (after Davies) in _D.F._ _ne patria deleatur_, which Halm takes, as does Baiter. Mine is rather nearer the MSS. _Decreta_: some MSS. _durata_; Halm conj. _dictata_. _Mediocritates_: [Greek: mesopetes], as in Aristotle; cf. _T.D._ III. 11, 22, 74. _Permotione_: [Greek: kinesei]. _Naturalem ... modum_: so _T.D._ III. 74. _Crantoris_: sc. _librum_, for the omission of which see n. on I. 13; add Quint. IX. 4, 18, where Spalding
