ita hos petunt quasi honeste vixerint_. -- DIVINAREM: see references on 6
_confeceris_. -- ILLO EXSTINCTO: Fabius died in 203 B.C. -- FORE UNDE
DISCEREM NEMINEM: cf. Acad. 1, 8 _quae nemo adhuc docuerat nec erat unde
studiosi scire possent. Unde_ of persons (here = _a quo_); is common in
both verse and prose (so [Greek: hothen] and [Greek: hothenper], vid.
Liddell and Scott in vv.); cf. Horace 1, 12, 17 _unde nil maius generatur
ipso_; 1, 28, 28; Cic. de Or. 1, 67 _ille ipse unde cognorit_; ib. 2, 285.
So _ubi = apud quem_ in Verr. 4, 29; _quo = ad quos_ below, 83, and in
Verr. 4 38; cf. also n. on _istinc_ in 47. For mood of _discerem_ see A.
320; G. 634; H. 503, I.

13. QUORSUS IGITUR HAEC: _sc. dixi._ -- TAM MULTA: this takes the place of
_tot_, which, like _quot_, cannot be used as a substantive. -- SCIPIONES:
'men like Scipio', _i.e._ the elder Africanus; so 15 _Fabricii Curii
Coruncanii_. Cicero has here put his own opinion of Scipio into the mouth
of Cato, who, during a large part of his life, was a staunch and even
bitter opponent of Scipio, and therefore not likely to couple him with
Fabius. Cf. Introd. -- UT ... RECORDENTUR: the repetition of _ut_ with each
clause for the sake of effect may be compared with the repetition of
_nihil_ in 15, 27, 41; of _non_ in 32; of _hinc_ in 40; of _sibi_ in 58. --
PEDESTRIS: for _terrestris_; the usage is very common; so in Greek [Greek:
pezomachia] and [Greek: naumachia], [Greek: pezomachein] and [Greek:
naumachein] are often contrasted (see Liddell and Scott). It is not
recorded by historians that either Scipio or Fabius took part personally in
naval warfare. -- RECORDENTUR: this verb implies the habitual dwelling of
the memory upon the past. -- QUIETE ET PURE ATQUE ELEGANTER: the
enumeration consists of two branches connected by _et_, the second branch
being subdivided into two members connected by _atque_. Had each of the
adverbs been intended to stand on exactly the same footing Cic. would have
written _et_ instead of _atque_, or else would have omitted the copula
altogether; see n. on 53 _capitum iugatio_. In enumerations of the form A +
(Bl + B2), the + outside the bracket is expressed by _et_, the + inside the
bracket generally being expressed by _ac_, for which _atque_ is substituted
when the following word (_i.e._ B2) begins with a vowel, a guttural (_c, q,
g_) or _h_, before which _ac_ was very seldom written. -- PURE ATQUE
ELEGANTER: 'sinlessly and gently'. _Pure_
