gally.] [Footnote 228: Gellius i. 6; cp. Livy, Epit. 59.] [Footnote 229: e.g. _ad Fam._ xiv. 2.] [Footnote 230: The story of the relations of Cicero, Terentia, Clodius, and Clodia, in Pint. _Cic._ 29 is too full of inaccuracies to be depended on. In the 41st chapter what he says of the divorce and its causes must be received with caution; it seems to come from some record left by Tiro, Cicero's freedman and devoted friend, and as Cicero obviously loved this man much more than his wife, we can understand why the two should dislike each other.] [Footnote 231: Plutarch, _Ti. Gracch._ 1; _Gaius Gracch._ 19. The letters of Cornelia which are extant are quite possibly genuine.] [Footnote 232: The recent edition of the _Ars amatoria_ by Paul Brandt has an introduction in which these points are well expressed.] [Footnote 233: Catullus 72. 75.] [Footnote 234: _Ciceron et ses amis_, p. 175.] [Footnote 235: Decimus Brutus, one of the tyrannicides of March 15, 44.] [Footnote 236: Sall. _Cat_. 25.] [Footnote 237: Plut. _Lucullus_ 6.] [Footnote 238: Cic. _ad Fam._ viii. 7: a letter of Caelius, in which he tells of a lady who divorced her husband without pretext on the very day he returned from his province.] [Footnote 239: Plut. _Cato min._ 25 and 52. Plutarch seems to be using here the Anti-Cato of Caesar, but the facts must have been well known.] [Footnote 240: e.g. _ad Att._ xv. 29.] [Footnote 241: _ad Fam._ ix. 26.] [Footnote 242: The so-called Laudatio Turiae is well known to all students of Roman law, as raising a complicated question of Roman legal inheritance; but it may also be reckoned as a real fragment of Roman literature, valuable, too, for some points in the history of the time it covers. It was first made accessible and intelligible by Mommsen in 1863, and the paper he then wrote about it has lately been reprinted in his _Gesammelte Schriften_, vol. i., together with a new fragment discovered on the same site as the others in 1898. This fragment, and a discussion of its relation to the whole, will he found in the _Classical Review_ for June 1905, p. 261; the laudatio without the new fragment in _C.I.L._ vi. 1527.] [Footnote 243: App. _B.C._ iv. 44. The identification has been impugned of late, but, as I think, without due reason. See my article in _Classical Rev._, 1905, p. 265.] [Footnote 244: This is how I interpret the new fragment. See _Classical Rev. l.c._ p. 263 foll.] [
