102 This passage is from the Eunuch of Terence, Act i. sc. 1, 14.

103 These verses are from the Atreus of Accius.

104 This was Marcus Atilius Regulus, the story of whose treatment by the
Carthaginians in the first Punic War is well known to everybody.

105 This was Quintus Servilius Caepio, who, B.C. 105, was destroyed, with
his army, by the Cimbri,--it was believed as a judgment for the
covetousness which he had displayed in the plunder of Tolosa.

106 This was Marcus Aquilius, who, in the year B.C. 88, was sent against
Mithridates as one of the consular legates: and being defeated, was

put him to death by pouring molten gold down his throat.

107 This was the elder brother of the triumvir Marcus Crassus, B.C. 87.
He was put to death by Fimbria, who was in command of some of the

Somnum reducent.--iii. 1. 17.

certain information about him.

Peripatetic School at Athens.

115 Aristo was a native of Ceos, and a pupil of Lycon, who succeeded
Stratton as the head of the Peripatetic School, B.C. 270. He

116 Pyrrho was a native of Elis, and the originator of the sceptical
theories of some of the ancient philosophers. He was a contemporary
of Alexander.
