_Prov. Cons._
41), and afterwards a post on his commission for the division of the
Campanian land, or a _legatio libera_.

chreopheileten] esse."

[5] She was married in 63 B.C. to C. Calpurnius Piso Frugi, whom
Cicero found a model son-in-law. He appears to have died before 56,
since in that year Tullia was betrothed to Furius Crassipes
(quaestor in Bithynia in 51). It is not known if this marriage
actually took place.

[6] That the loss of his triumph rankled in his mind may be seen
from _Brutus_, Sec. 255: "hanc gloriam ... tuae quidem supplicationi
non, sed triumphis multorum antepono."

[8] With these it is usual to include a treatise to Herennius by an
anonymous author, a contemporary of Sulla, in modern times generally
identified with a person named Cornificius, quoted by Quintilian
(iii. 1. 21). This is a manual of rhetoric derived from Greek
sources with illustrations of figures drawn from Roman orators.
Cicero's juvenile work _de Inventione_ appears to be drawn partly
from this and partly from a treatise by Hermagoras. This is a slight
production and does not require detailed notice. Other minor works
written in later life, such as the _Partitiones Oratoriae_, a
catechism of rhetoric, in which instruction is given by Cicero to
his son Marcus; the _Topica_, and an introduction to a translation
of the speeches delivered by Demosthenes and Aeschines for and
against Ctesiphon, styled _de optimo genere oratorum_, also need
only be mentioned.

[9] _Orator_, Sec. 214 "patris dictum sapiens temeritas fili
c[=o]mpr[)o]b[=a]v[)i]t--hoc dichoreo tantus clamor contionis
excitatus est ut admirabile esset. Quaero, nonne id numerus
efficerit? Verborum ordinem immuta, fac sic: 'Comprobavit fili
temeritas' jam nihil erit."

[10] This theory is partly anticipated by Terentianus Maurus (c.
A.D. 290), who says of the cretic (v. 1440 sqq.):--

"Plurimum orantes decebit quando paene in ultimo
Obtinet sedem beatam, terminet si clausulam
Dactylus spondeus imam, nec trochaeum respuo;
Plenius tractatur istud arte prosa rhetorum."

[11] _Orator_, Sec. 212 "cursum contentiones magis requirunt,
expositiones rerum tarditatem."
