[Footnote 413:  Compare Dion Cassius (36, c. 16) as to the behaviour of Lucullus.  He was too strict a disciplinarian for soldiers who were accustomed to licence; and he did not even attempt to win the love of his men by kindness.  The mutinous army that he could not control was quiet and obedient to Pompeius.]

[Footnote 414:  This is the same person who is mentioned in c. 5.  The Roman name is Quinctius, which is corrupted in the MSS. of Plutarch.  This Lucius was tribune of the Plebs B.C. 74, the year of the consulship of Lucullus.  In this chapter Plutarch 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 423:  See the Life of Crassus.]

[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 alluding to the opposition which Memmius made to the triumph of L. Lucullus.  Memmius was a man of ability, but of dissolute habits.  He was accused of bribery at the consular election, and being convicted, retired to Athens.  Several letters of Cicero to him are still extant.  Lucretius dedicated his poem to Memmius.  See the Note of Manutius on Cicero, Ad Familiares, xiii. 1.
