[Footnote 243:  App. B.C. iv. 44.  The identification has been impugned of late, but, as I think, without due reason.  See my article in Classical Rev., 1905, p. 265.]

[Footnote 244:  This is how I interpret the new fragment.  See Classical Rev. l.c. p. 263 foll.]

[Footnote 246:  The account that follows is put together from Appian iv. 44, Valerius Maximus vi. 7. 2, and the Laudatio.  Appian preserved some fifty stories of escapes at this time, and the only one that fits with the Laudatio is that of Lucretius.]

[Footnote 248:  A list of the best authorities will be found at the beginning of Professor Wilkins’ book.  Of these by far the most useful for a student is the section in Marquardt’s Privatleben, p. 79 foll.  The two volumes of Cramer (Geschichte der Erziehung, etc.), which cover all antiquity, are, as he says, most valuable for their breadth of view.  See also H. Nettleship, Lectures and Essays, ch. iii. foll.]

[Footnote 249:  Plut. Cato the Elder, ch. xx.]

[Footnote 250:  Plut. Aem.  Paul. ch. vi.]

[Footnote 251:  Plut. Cato minor 1 ad fin. What is told in the earlier part of this chapter may perhaps be invention, based on the character of the grown man; but this information at the end may be derived from a contemporary source.]

[Footnote 252:  Val.  Max. iii. 1. 2.]

[Footnote 253:  There is a single story of Cicero’s boyhood in Plutarch’s Life of him, ch. ii., that parents used to visit his school because of his fame as a scholar, etc., but to this I do not attach much importance.]
