[Footnote 313:  A mark of an effeminate person.  Compare the Life of Caesar, c. 4, which explains this passage.]

[Footnote 314:  This event is told by Dion Cassius (39. c. 19), but as Kaltwasser remarks he places it in B.C. 56, when Clodius was aedile and Cn.  Cornelius Lentulus Marcellinus and M. Marcius Philippus were consuls.  The trial was that of Milo De Vi, B.C. 56.  Compare Cicero (Ad Quintum Fratrem, ii. 3) and Rein (Criminalrecht der Roemer, p. 758, note).]

[Footnote 315:  Q. Terentius Culleo was a tribunus plebis B.C. 58.  He is mentioned by Cicero (Ad Attic. iii. 15) and elsewhere.]

[Footnote 316:  Cicero returned to Rome B.C. 57 in the consulship of P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther and Q. Caecilius Metellus Nepos.  See the Life of Cicero, c. 33.  He had returned to Rome before the trial mentioned at the end of c. 48.]

[Footnote 317:  Pompeius was made Praefectus Annonae for five years.  There was a great scarcity at Rome, which was nothing unusual, and dangerous riots (see the article CORN TRADE, ROMAN, ’Political Dictionary,’ by the author of this note).  The appointment of Pompeius is mentioned by Dion Cassius (39. c. 9, and the notes of Reimarus).  Cicero (Ad Atticum, iv. 1) speaks of the appointment of Pompeius.]

[Footnote 318:  Ptolemaeus Auletes had given large bribes to several Romans to purchase their influence and to get himself declared a friend and ally of the Romans; which was in fact to put himself under their protection.  His subjects were dissatisfied with him for various reasons, and among others for the heavy taxes which he laid on them to raise the bribe money.  He made his escape from Egypt and was now in Rome.  The story is told at some length in Dion Cassius (39. c. 12, &c.), and the matter of the king’s restoration is discussed by Cicero in several letters (Ad Diversos, i. 1-7) to this Spinther.  The king for the present did not get the aid which he wanted, and he retired to Ephesus, where he lodged within the precincts of the temple of Artemis, which was an ASYLUM. (See ‘Political Dictionary,’ art.  Asylum; and Strabo, p. 641.)]

[Footnote 319:  A Greek historian of the time of Augustus.  He was originally a captive slave, but he was manumitted and admitted to the intimacy of Augustus Caesar.  He was very free with his tongue, which at last caused him to be forbidden the house of Augustus. (Seneca, De Ira, iii. 23.) He burnt some of his historical writings, but not all of them, for Plutarch here refers to his authority.  Horatius (1 Ep. 19. v. 15) alludes to Timagenes. (See Suidas, [Greek:  Timagenes].)]

[Footnote 320:  See the Life of Caesar, c. 15, and as to the conference at Luca, c. 21.  The conference took place B.C. 56, when Marcellinus (c. 48, notes) was one of the consuls.  Compare also the Life of Crassus (c. 14, 15), and Dion Cassius, 39. c. 30, as to the trouble at Rome at this time, and Appianus (Civil Wars, ii. 17).]
