uit, ut homines vulgo impune occiderentur."
[67] Pro T. A. Milone, ca. xxi.: "Cur igitur cos
manumisit? Metuebat scilicit ne indicarent; ne dolorem
perferre non possent."
[68] Pro T. A. Milone, ca. xxii.: "Heus tu, Ruscio, verbi
gratia, cave sis mentiaris. Clodius insidias fecit
Miloni? Fecit. Certa crux. Nullas fecit. Sperata
libertas."

[73] Pro Sexto Roscio, ca. xlvi. The whole picture of
Chrysogonus, of his house, of his luxuries, and his
vanity, is too long for quotation, but is worth
referring to by those who wish to see how bold and how

[74] They put in tablets of wax, on which they recorded
their judgment by inscribing letter, C, A, or

[76] Quintilian, lib. xi., ca. iii.: "Nam et toga, et

sunt reprehendenda." * * * "Sinistrum brachium eo usque
allevandum est, ut quasi normalem illum angulum faciat."
Quint., lib. xii., ca. x., "ne hirta toga sit;" don't let
the toga be rumpled; "non serica:" the silk here
interdicted was the silk of effeminacy, not that silk of
authority of which our barristers are proud. "Ne
intonsum caput; non in gradus atque annulos comptum." It
would take too much space were I to give here all the
lessons taught by this professor of deportment as to the
wearing of the toga.
[77] A doubt has been raised whether he was not married
when he went to Greece, as otherwise his daughter would
seem to have become a wife earlier than is probable. The

[78] Tacitus, Annal., xi., 5, says, "Qua cavetur
antiquitus, ne quis, ob causam orandam, pecuniam donumve
accipiat."
