[1958] _Lege_, "Omnia tum endo mucho (μυχῷ) videas fervente
micare. "--Turnebe's emendation.
[1959] The invention of bits is ascribed by Pliny and Virgil to the
Thessalian Lapithæ. Plin. , vii. , 56. Virg. , Georg. , iii. , 15, "Frena
Pelethronii Lapithæ, gyrosque dedere. " Cf. Lucan. , Phars. , vi. , 396,
_seq_. Val. Flac. , i. , 424, "Oraque Thessalico melior contundere fræno
Castor. " Gerlach proposes, therefore, to read _equam_ for _acrem_, as
young ladies are often compared by the poets to fillies. Cf. Hor. ,
iii. , Od. xi. , 9, "Quæ velut latis equa trima campis, ludit exultim. "

Arist. , Lys. , 1308. Eurip. , Hec. , 144. Hip. , 546. »
[1960] _Commentavi. _ The words of an adulterous wife, inventing some
excuse to keep her assignation. _Aurifex. _ Cf. Plaut. , Aul. , III. , v. ,
34. Cic. , Orat. , ii. , 38.
[1961] Dusa refers this to the fox in the fable, quoted above. _Ominis_
is Gerlach's emendation for _hominis_ and _hemonis_. (_Hemo_ was an
older form of _Homo_, hence Nemo, ne hemo. )
[1962] _Mansum_ is the food that has been chewed by the nurse
preparatory to its being given to the child. Cf. Cic. , Orat. , ii. ,
39, "tenuissimas particulas, atque omnia minima _mansa_, ut nutrices
infantibus pueris, in os inserant. " Quint. , X. , i. Pers. , iii. , 17,
"pappare minutum poscis. " Plaut. , Epid. , V. , ii. , 62. It is expressed
by the Greek ψωμίζειν. Arist. , Lys. , 19. Thesm. , 692.
[1963] _Clarans. _ Cf. Hor. , iv. , Od. iii. , 3, "Ilium non labor Isthmius
clarabit pugilem. "
[1964] These are the demands of an imperious, perhaps a dowered wife.
The speech of Megadorus in the Aulularia of Plautus (iii. , Sc. v. ),
admirably illustrates this Fragment. In the list of slaves which
the "dotata" expects, we find the Aurifex, Lanarius, Sarcinatores,
strophiarii, semizonarii, textores. The Gerdius is probably the same
as the Lenarius: as it is explained in the Glos. γέρδιος, ὑφαντής.
_Zonarius. _ Cf. Cic. p. Flac, vii. , 17.
[1965] Probably the indignant expostulation of some young man to
a Lena. Compare the scene between Argyrippus and Cleæreta, in the
Asinaria of Plautus (i. , Sc. iii. ). _Exsultare_, "Gestu vel dictu
injuriam facere. " Non. Gerlach reads _deures_. The old reading is
_deaures_, which is defensible. Cf. xxvi. , Fr. 8, _deargentassere_.
[1966] _Maximus. _ Q. Fabius Maximus Cunctator, whose son was notorious
for his profligacy and luxuriousness. This is probably, therefore, part
of the old man's speech against the licentiousness of the young.
[1967] _Androgyni. _ Cf. Herod. , iv. , 67, c. not. Bähr. Juv. , vi. , 373,
"Tonsoris damno tantum rapit Heliodorus. "
[1968] _Inductum. _ Thus explained by Nonius. Cf. Tibul. , I. , vi. , 1,
"Semper ut inducar blandos offers mihi vultus. "
[1969] _Exanclaris. _ Ennius in Andromacha, "Quantis cum ærumnis illum
exantlavi diem. " Fr. 6, p. 36, ed. Bothe. Cic. , Tusc. , i. , 49; ii. ,
8. Acad. , ii. , 34. On the difference of the forms "exanclare and
exantlare," vid. Burmann, ad Quintil. , Inst. , i. , 6. Cf. Æsch. , P. V. ,
375. Choëph. , 746. Eurip. , Hipp. , 898.
[1970] _Sucerda_, from sus and cerno.
[1971] _Gai. _ Van Heusde, Burmann, and Merula agree in supposing these
to be the words of Fabius Cunctator to C. Minutius Rufus. «Cf. Liv. ,
xxii. , 8, 12, where, however, most of the Edd. call him Marcus. »
_Incilare_, "increpare, improbare. " Non. Pacuv. in Dulor, "Si quis
hâc me oratione incilet, quid respondeam? " Fr. 28, p. 121, ed. Bothe.
Lucret. , iii. , 976, "jure increpet inciletque. "
[1972] _Summatim. _ Cic, Att. , v. , 16. Suet. , Tib.
, 61, "Commentario
quem summatim breviterque composuit. "
[1973] _Calvus_, probably either L. Cæcilius Metellus Calvus, consul
with Q. Fabius Maximus Servilianus, B. C. 142, or his son L. Cæcilius
Metellus Calvus Dalmaticus, consul with L. Aurelius Cotta, B. C. 119,
who repaired out of his spoils the temple of Castor and Pollux. From
the form of the word _Palatina_, Dusa and Gerlach suppose it to imply
the name of a tribe; though Gerlach says we have no evidence of the
existence of a tribe called from the hill «but cf. Cic. , Verr. , II. ,
ii. , 43». Cf. ad Pers. , v. , 73, "Publius Velina. "
[1974] _Hilum_ is the primitive from which nihilum is formed (i. e. ,
ne-hilum). Cf. Poet. ap. Cic. , Tusc. , I. , vi. , "Sisyphus versat saxum
sudans nitendo neque proficit hilum. " Lucret. , iii. , 221, "nec defit
ponderis hilum. "
[1975] _Nænum_, probably "ne unum," written also _nenum_, _nena_ the
Archaic form of Non. Cf. Varro, Epist. ad Fusium, ap. Non. "Si hodie
nænum venis, cras quidem. " Lucret. , iii. , 20, "Nenu potest. "
[1976] _Pallor_, "negligentia, vetustas. " Non.
[1977] _Plautus_, an Umbrian word implying "flat-footed. " From this
peculiarity the poet derived his name, "Plotos appellant Umbri pedibus
planis natos. " Fest. The end of the line is hopeless. Turnebe reads
"mens elephanti," and says it refers to "the horrors of matrimony, and
the bodily defects of wives. " Gerlach reads "mensa Libonis," and says,
"Lucilius compares women to the tables of the money-changers. " Cf.
Hor. , Sat. , II. , vi. , 35. Cf. ad Pers. , Sat. , iv. , 49.
[1978] Cic. , de Div. , ii. , 37, mentions a people of Galatia, called
Trogini. The name does not occur elsewhere.
[1979] The Archaic _Simitû_ for _simul_ occurs repeatedly in Plautus.
[1980] _Privæ. _ Cf. i. , Fr. 13. Privum, "proprium uniuscujusque. " Non.
_Centonibus. _ Cf. xxviii. , Fr. 33. _Culcitulæ_, "small cushions or
pillows," from _calco_. Fest. Cf. Plaut. , Most. , IV. , i. , 49.
[1981] _Invadere_, i. e. , "appetenter incipere. " _Cæli. _ Cicero tells
us (Auct. ad Her. , ii. , 13, 19) that Cælius was the name of the judge
who acquitted the man on the charge of defamation, who had libeled
Lucilius on the stage.
[1982] _Publica. _ Fruter conjectures _Publicià_; but the Publician law
is not mentioned.
[1983] _Operatum. _ So ῥέζειν. Cf. Virg. , Georg. , i. , 339, "Sacra refer
Cereri lætis operatus in herbis. " Liv. , i. , 81. Propert. , ii. , 24, 1.
Nonius explains it "Deos religiose et cum summâ veneratione sacrificiis
litare. "
[1984] _Lustris. _ Plaut. , Asin. , V. , ii. , 17, "Is liberis lustris
studet. " Casin. , II. , iii. , 28, "Ubi in lustra jacuisti? " Cic. ,
Phil. , xiii. , 11. Probest. , "Aliquis emersus ex tenebris lustrorum ac
stuprorum. " The Fragment probably forms part of a speech of a jealous
wife upbraiding her husband, as Cleostrata, in the Casina of Plautus,
quoted above.
[1985] _Præservit. _ Cf. Plaut. , Amph. , Prol. , 126, "Ut præservire
amanti meo possem patri. " _Delicere_, "to allure from the right path. "
Titinius ap. Non. in voc. , "parasitus habeat qui illum sciat delicere,
et noctem facere possit de die. " _Delenit. _ Cf. xxviii. , Fr. 1, "to
inthrall the senses by the passion of love. " So Titinius, "Dotibus
deleniti ultro etiam uxoribus ancillantur. "
[1986] _Nutricari_ for "nutrire. " Cf. Cic. , de Nat. Deor. , ii. , 34,
"Educator et altor est mundus omniaque sicut membra et partis suas
nutricatur et continet. "
[1987] _Discerniculum_, "the bodkin in a woman's headdress for parting
the hair. "
[1988] _Ficedulæ. _ Cf. ad Juv. , xiv. , 9. _Turdi. _ Cf. ad Pers. , vi. ,
24. Read perhaps "curatique cocis. "
[1989] Cf. Juv. , ii. , 79, "Dedit hanc contagio labem et dabit in
plures: sicut grex totus in agris unius _scabie_ cadit et _porrigine_
porci. "
[1990] _Rumpit_, "defatigat. " Non.
[1991] _Pertundet. _ So Ennius, "latus pertudit hasta. " Juv. , vi. , 46,
"Mediam pertundite venam. " vii. , 26, "Aut claude et positos tineâ
pertunde libellos. " _Deliciet_ Gerlach explains by "Juvare, voluptatem
creare:" and reads "_Utere vi atque videbis. _"
[1992] _Fortis_ etiam "dives. " Non.
[1993] Gerlach retains _Musconis_. _Tagax_, from the old form tago.
"Furunculus a tangendo. " Fest, "light-fingered. " _Perscribere_ may mean
(like conscribellare in Catullus) "to mark letters upon," i. e. , brand
him with the word Fur on the hand: hence trium literarum homo.
[1994] _Habendo. _ Cf. Virg. , Georg. , iii. , 159, "Et quos aut pecori
malint summittere habendo. "
[1995] _Involem. _ Ter. , Eun. , V. , ii. , 20, "Vix me contineo quin
involem in capillum. " So "Castra involare.
