calls him one of the
Praetors ([Greek: hena ton strategon]), which Kaltwasser has translated
"one of the tribunes of the people."]

[Footnote 415: This, I think, is the sense of the passage, to which
Reiske gives a very different meaning. I have given the same meaning
that Kaltwasser and Coraes have. See the note in Schaefer's edition.]

[Footnote 416: Manius Acilius Glabrio, consul B.C. 67, was first
appointed to succeed Lucullus; but Pompeius contrived to get the
command given to himself B.C. 66. "Plutarch, who refers elsewhere to
the appointment of Glabrio (_Pomp._ c. 30) has not here (c. 33, 34)
sufficiently distinguished it from that of Pompey, which he has
anticipated. For Pompey was not appointed till the following year"
(Clinton, _Fasti Hellen._).]

[Footnote 417: Compare Dion Cassius, 35, c. 10, &c.; and Appian, c.
88, &c.]

[Footnote 418: When a country was conquered and it was intended to
make of it a Roman province, commissioners were sent out, usually
Senators, to assist the general in organizing the provincial
government. Compare Livius, 45, c. 17.]

[Footnote 419: Pompeius was appointed by a Lex Manilia, in favour of
which Cicero spoke in an oration, which is still extant, Pro Lege
Manilia. See the Life of Pompeius, c. 30.]

[Footnote 420: This is the Greek [Greek: daphne], and the Roman
Laurus, which is incorrectly translated "laurel."]

[Footnote 421: Compare Life of Pompeius, c. 31, Dion Cassius, 36, c.
29. and Velleius Patercules, ii. 33.]

[Footnote 422: The Caspian Lake was sometimes so called from the
Hyrkani, who occupied the country on the south-east side of this great
lake.]

[Footnote 424: This Caius Memmius was tribune of the Plebs in the year
B.C. 66, in which year Lucullus returned to Rome. Memmius was not
satisfied with prosecuting M. Lucullus; he revenged himself for his
failure by debauching his wife, to which Cicero alludes in the
following passage (_Ad Attic._ i. 18): "C. Memmius has initiated the
wife of M. Lucullus in his own sacred rites. Menelaus (M. Lucullus)
did not like this, and has divorced his wife. Though that shepherd of
Ida insulted Menelaus only; this Paris of ours has not considered
either that Menelaus or Agamemnon should be free." Cicero is here

Lucullus. Memmius was a man of ability, but of dissolute habits. He
was accused of bribery at the consula
