10.  IV.  Vi.  Collision between the Senate and Equites in the Administration of the Provinces; iv.  IX.  Siege of Praeneste

11.  In Varro’s satire, “The Aborigines,” he sarcastically set forth how the primitive men had not been content with the God who alone is recognized by thought, but had longed after puppets and effigies.

17.  Cicero says that he treated his learned slave Dionysius more respectfully than Scipio treated Panaetius, and in the same sense it is said in Lucilius:—­

-Paenula, si quaeris, canteriu’, servu’, segestre Utilior mihi, quam sapiens-.

Chapter XIII

1.  Thus in the -Paulus-, an original piece, the following line occurred, probably in the description of the pass of Pythium (iii.  X. Perseus Is Driven Back to Pydna):—­

-Qua vix caprigeno generi gradilis gressio est-.

And in another piece the hearers are expected to understand the following description—­

-Quadrupes tardigrada agrestis humilis aspera, Capite brevi, cervice anguina, aspectu truci, Eviscerata inanima cum animali sono-.

To which they naturally reply—­

-Ita saeptuosa dictione abs te datur, Quod conjectura sapiens aegre contuit; Non intellegimus, nisi si aperte dixeris-.

Then follows the confession that the tortoise is referred to.  Such enigmas, moreover, were not wanting even among the Attic tragedians, who on that account were often and sharply taken to task by the Middle Comedy.

2.  Perhaps the only exception is in the -Andria- (iv. 5) the answer to the question how matters go:—­

“-Sic Ut quimus,” aiunt, “quando ut volumus non licet-”

in allusion to the line of Caecilius, which is, indeed, also imitated from a Greek proverb:—­

-Vivas ut possis, quando non quis ut velis-.

The comedy is the oldest of Terence’s, and was exhibited by the theatrical authorities on the recommendation of Caecilius.  The gentle expression of gratitude is characteristic.

3.  A counterpart to the hind chased by dogs and with tears calling on a young man for help, which Terence ridicules (Phorm. prol. 4), may be recognized in the far from ingenious Plautine allegory of the goat and the ape (Merc, ii. 1).  Such excrescences are ultimately traceable to the rhetoric of Euripides (e. g.  Eurip.  Hec. 90).

4.  Micio in the -Adelphi- (i. i) praises his good fortune in life, more particularly because he has never had a wife, “which those (the Greeks) reckon a piece of good fortune.”
