GLASGOW: PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS BY ROBERT MACLEHOSE AND CO.
Footnotes
[1] The scheme of this old national metre, which depends on accent and not on quantity, may be seen from the two examples given below. Various forms are found, but one of the commonest types is identical with the rhythm of the nursery rhyme,
‘The queen was in the parlour, eating bread and honey.’
[2] ‘I have heard that a Roman poet is languishing in prison with head on hand’—probably a metaphor from a pillar (but the sense is far from certain).
[3] Utica was besieged by Scipio from 204 to 202 B.C.
[4] In the fabula togata or tabernaria the surroundings of the comedy were Roman, in the fabula palliata Greek, as in Plautus’ plays. Togata in a wider sense included tragedy as well as comedy.
[5] This term means the construction of a new play by uniting two old ones.
[6] The references are to the revised edition of Ritschl.
[7] A species of burlesque tragedy, called after its inventor Rhinthon, who flourished B.C. 300.
[8] R.H. ii. p. 431 trans.
[9] This shows that the ancient (rough alphabetical) order has been departed from. Some grammarian of the fifth century altered the position of the play on account of the reference to it in Epid. 213-5 (quoted above).
[10] I.e. the ‘Patruus’ written by the old Roman (lit., ‘son of the porridge-eater’).
[11] These games were celebrated in April. Plays were exhibited also at the Ludi Romani (September) and the Ludi Plebei (November).
[12] Much of the information on this head is taken from J. Brix’s edition of the Trinummus. Leipzig, 1888.
[13] This is shown in the universal classical usage of benĕ, malĕ, etc.
[14] The references are to Vahlen’s edition.
[15] Thus the original name of Beneventum was Maleventum, i.e. ΜαλόϜεντα, accusative of ΜαλόϜεις; cf. Agrigentum from Ἀκράγας, and Tarentum from Τάρας.
[16] Euhemerus of Messana, who wrote about the end of the fourth century B.C., tried in this work to show that the worship of the gods arose from the worship of deified kings and heroes.
[17] The Oscan form of Pacuvi.
[18] The term doctus refers to his knowledge of the Greek laws of artistic composition.
[19] After Ambivius’ name appears in most of the didascaliae ‘L. Hatilius Praenestinus.’ Probably this person was an actor at some later productions, and his name has in this way crept into the MSS.
[20] Tibiae were called pares or impares according as they were or were not of the same length and key. Duae dextrae were two pipes both playing the treble. Tibiae Sarranae, from Sarra, the old Latin name for Tyre, were a special form of tibiae pares.
[21] Mediocritas = τὸ μέσον, the intermediate style between τὸ ἁδρόν, ‘the florid’ (ubertas), and τὸ ἰσχνόν, ‘the simple’ (gracilitas). See W. Peterson’s note on Quint. x. 1, 44.
[22] For the omission of names, cf. iv. 12 (Jordan), ‘dictatorem Karthaginiensium magister equitum monuit’ (of Hannibal and Maharbal).
[23] This means that Lucilius would represent the nom. plu. by -ei and the gen. sing, by -i.
[24] The fabula Atellana was a species of farce adopted by the Romans from the Oscan town of Atella in Campania. See Livy, vii. 2, for this and the early history of the Roman drama.
[25] Q. Hortensius Hortalus (B.C. 114-50), Cicero’s rival as an orator, and author of Annales (Vell. ii. 16, 3), a Rhetoric (Quint. ii. 1, 11), and love poems (Ovid Tr. ii. 441).
[26] According to ad Att. ii. 1, 3 (if genuine), Cicero intended to publish speeches 9-11 in a collection of ‘orationes consulares’ (‘Hoc totum σῶμα curabo ut habeas’).
[27] R.H. iv. 311 (note).
[28] Q. Asconius Pedianus (A.D. 3-88), probably a native of Padua, author of a commentary on Cicero’s speeches. The extant part is on Pro Cornelio de maiestate, In toga candida, In Pisonem, Pro Scauro, and Pro Milone. The commentary on the Verrines and Divinatio, which deals almost exclusively with the language, is spurious: the true Asconius confines himself to the subject-matter.
[29] The Epicurean philosophy was expounded in the writings of C. Amafinius, Rabirius, and T. Catius, whose opinions and literary style were alike distasteful to Cicero (Ac. i. 5; ad. Fam. xv. 19, 2).
[30] F. Ritschl, Opuscula, iii., p. 525.
[31] L. Schwabe, Quaest. Catull., p. 296. B. Schmidt, however (ed. of Catullus, p. 57), thinks that the Chronica are not referred to here.
[32] A life of Lucretius has been recently discovered by J. Masson (Journal of Philology, xxiii. 46), which was written by Girolamo Borgia in 1502. It gives B.C. 95-51 as the poet’s dates. Several new points were supposed to lend it a claim to authority, such as the statement that he was ‘matre natus diu sterili.’ This, however, has been shown to rest on a wrong reading of Q. Serenus Sammonicus’ Liber Medicinalis, xxxii., in a passage dealing with the barrenness of women, ‘hoc poterit magni quartus [liber] monstrare Lucreti,’ where partus, the reading of the oldest edition, was used. This, and other considerations, show that the vita does not rest on any ancient sources, beyond those which are still extant.
[33] Memmius wrote love poems (Ovid, Tr. ii. 433).
