he work are preserved by
Jerome. In each section there was (1) a list of the authors discussed,
(2) a general survey of their branch of literature, (3) brief notices
of the authors in chronological order. The publication took place,
according to Roth, 106-113 A.D.

3. Minor works, now lost (mentioned by Suidas), on Greek games, Roman
games, the Roman year, on critical marks, on Cicero's _Republic_, on
dress, on imprecations (+peri dysphemon lexeon etoi blasphemion kai
pothen hekaste+), on Roman laws and customs. Some of these were probably
only sections of the _Prata_, a miscellany in ten Books, which also
treated of natural science and philology. The books on Greek games and
on imprecations were almost certainly composed in Greek.

Footnotes to Chapter IV

[72] The praenomen 'Gaius' is rendered highly probable by the reading
of the _editio princeps_ and by an inscription found in Africa
(_C.I.L._ viii. 10311).

[75] Tacitus does not say openly that Seneca was privy to the murder.
On the whole he is favourable to Seneca, either because he followed
the authority of Fabius Rusticus, a friend of Seneca, or because
Seneca perished afterwards through Nero's agency, or because he
thought Seneca deserved his consideration.

[76] Seneca's influence on the Imperial policy, especially in the
liberal view it took regarding religion, is well brought out by Prof.
W. M. Ramsay, in his book, _St. Paul the Traveller and the Roman
Citizen_, pp. 354 _sqq._
