the citadel of Athens, whence I write you this note. ” (Year 704. _Epist.
ad Atticum_, VI. 9. )--“Consequently, leaving to the fools the initiative
of speech, I think that I shall do well to endeavour to obtain this
triumph, were it only to have a reason not to be in Rome; but they are
sure to find a means to come to wrest my opinion from me. You will laugh
at me. How I wish I had remained in my province! ” (Cicero, _Epist. ad
Atticum_, VII. 1. )
[881] “He has borne witness, which I did not ask him, to my integrity,
my equity, and my kindness, and he has refused me what I expected from
him. You should see how Cæsar, in the letter in which he congratulates
me and promises me everything, knows how to make the most of this
abominable ingratitude of Cato! But this same Cato has caused twenty
days to be granted to Bibulus. You must excuse me being spiteful; but
this is a thing which I cannot bear, and which I will never forgive
him. ” (Year 704, November. Cicero, _Epist. ad Atticum_, VII. 2. )

uneasiness. Honest people do not agree so well as is thought. How many
Roman knights, how many senators, have I not heard inveighing against
Pompey, particularly on account of this unfortunate journey! What we
want is peace. All victory will be fatal, and cause a tyrant to rise up.
Yes, I am one of those who think that it is better to grant all he
(Cæsar) asks than to appeal to arms. It is now too late to resist him,
when for the last ten years we have done nothing else but to give him
strength against us. ” (Year 704, December. Cicero, _Epist. ad Atticum_,

[931] De la Nauze refers this opposition to the 17th of April following
(_Académie des Inscriptions_, tom. XXVI. 244). His calculation is
incorrect.
[932] De la Nauze, influenced by his wrong calculation of the opposition
of Jupiter, insists that these events took place at the approach of
spring. He overlooks the particle _jam_. Ideler suppresses it from the
German text.
[933] According to the system of Ideler, the Helvetii only started on
the Julian 16th of April. On that reckoning, we cannot find room for the
numerous events which occurred before the wheat was ripe. (Cæsar, _De
Bello Gallico_, I. 16. )
[934] The system of Ideler (see Korb, in Orelli, _Onomasticum
Tullianum_, tom. I. , p. 170), according to whom the 6th of the Calends
of October fell on the Julian 30th of August, is manifestly in the
wrong. Cæsar, who, in the preceding year, saw no objection to pass into
Britain at the end of August, would not have troubled himself about the
equinox when it was still 27 days’ distant.
[935] General de Gœler has sought to raise a new system founded on the
assumption that the Roman year had only 354 days. According to him, this
reduction would have been necessary to find the 560 days of which Cicero
speaks. The author commits more than one error; among others, he
ascribes, by inattention, 29 days instead of the 27, to the month of
February in the year 703. (De Gœler, p. 91. )
[936] Suetonius had written: “Cæsar placed, for this time, two more
months between November and December, so that the year had fifteen
months, including the one to be intercalated, which, following the
usage, had fallen in this same year. ” Censorinus, adopting this view,
finds that Cæsar intercalated 90 days in the year 708. But Suetonius has
bequeathed us other errors. Dio Cassius, consul for the second time in
the year 229 after Christ, had drawn from authentic sources; it is
better to hold to his system, which restores the astronomical
concordance for the equinox in the year 700, whereas, with the system of
Censorinus, it has been sought in vain what Cæsar’s intention could have
been.

Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
and the Foundation web page at http://www. pglaf.

[931] De la Nauze refers this opposition to the 17th of April following
(_Académie des Inscriptions_, tom. XXVI. 244). His calculation is
incorrect.
[932] De la Nauze, influenced by his wrong calculation of the opposition
of Jupiter, insists that these events took place at the approach of
spring. He overlooks the particle _jam_. Ideler suppresses it from the
German text.
[933] According to the system of Ideler, the Helvetii only started on
the Julian 16th of April. On that reckoning, we cannot find room for the
numerous events which occurred before the wheat was ripe. (Cæsar, _De
Bello Gallico_, I. 16. )
[934] The system of Ideler (see Korb, in Orelli, _Onomasticum
Tullianum_, tom. I. , p. 170), according to whom the 6th of the Calends
of October fell on the Julian 30th of August, is manifestly in the
wrong. Cæsar, who, in the preceding year, saw no objection to pass into
Britain at the end of August, would not have troubled himself about the
equinox when it was still 27 days’ distant.
[935] General de Gœler has sought to raise a new system founded on the
assumption that the Roman year had only 354 days. According to him, this
reduction would have been necessary to find the 560 days of which Cicero
speaks. The author commits more than one error; among others, he
ascribes, by inattention, 29 days instead of the 27, to the month of
February in the year 703. (De Gœler, p. 91. )
[936] Suetonius had written: “Cæsar placed, for this time, two more
months between November and December, so that the year had fifteen
months, including the one to be intercalated, which, following the
usage, had fallen in this same year. ” Censorinus, adopting this view,
finds that Cæsar intercalated 90 days in the year 708. But Suetonius has
bequeathed us other errors. Dio Cassius, consul for the second time in
the year 229 after Christ, had drawn from authentic sources; it is
better to hold to his system, which restores the astronomical
concordance for the equinox in the year 700, whereas, with the system of
Censorinus, it has been sought in vain what Cæsar’s intention could have
been.

1. F.
1. F. 1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
and the Foundation web page at http://www. pglaf.
