ura_. Dav. and Ern. made the adj. neuter, and understanding _sunt_ interpreted "these arguments I am going to urge are grand, viz. _quanto art_. etc." Sec.87. _Scilicet_: Germ. "naturlich." _Fabricata sit_: cf. 30, 119, 121 and N.D. I. 19. _Ne modo_: for _modo ne_, a noticeable use. _Physicis_: probably neut. _Contra sensus_: he wrote both for and against [Greek: synetheia]; cf. R. and P. 360 and 368. _Carneadem_: Plut. _Sto. Rep_. 1036 B relates that Carneades in reading the arguments of Chrysippus against the senses, quoted the address of Andromache to Hector: [Greek: daimonie phthisei se to son menos]. From Diog. IV. 62 we learn that he thus parodied the line qu. in n. on 75, [Greek: ei me gar en Chrysippos ouk an en ego]. Sec.88. _Diligentissime_: in 48--53. _Dicebas_: in 52 _imbecillius adsentiuntur_. _Siccorum_: cf. Cic. _Contra Rullum_ I. 1 _consilia siccorum_. _Madere_ is common with the meaning "to be drunk," as in Plaut. _Mostellaria_ I. 4, 6. _Non diceret_: Orelli was induced by Goer. to omit the verb, with one MS., cf. 15 and I. 13. The omission of a verb in the subjunctive is, Madv. says on _D.F._ I. 9, impossible; for other ellipses of the verb see _M.D.F._ V. 63. _Alcmaeo autem_: i.e. Ennius' own Alcmaeon; cf. 52. _Somnia reri_: the best MSS. have _somniare_. Goer. reads _somnia_, supplying _non fuisse vera_. I have already remarked on his extraordinary power of _supplying_. Halm conj. _somnia reprobare_, forgetting that the verb _reprobare_ belongs to third century Latinity, also _sua visa putare_, which Bait. adopts. Thinking this too large a departure from the MSS., I read _reri_, which verb occurred in I. 26, 39. Possibly _putare_, a little farther on, has got misplaced. _Non id agitur_: these difficulties supply Sextus with one of his [Greek: tropoi], i.e. [Greek: ho peri tas peristaseis]; cf. _P.H._ I. 100, also for the treatment of dreams, _ib._ I. 104. _Si modo_, etc.: "if only he dreamed it," i.e. "merely because he dreamed it." _Aeque ac vigilanti_: = _aeque ac si vigilaret_. Dav. missing the sense, and pointing out that _when awake_ Ennius did not assent to his sensations at all, conj. _vigilantis_. Two participles used in very different ways not unfrequently occur together, see Madv. _Em. Liv._ p. 442. _Ita credit_: MSS. have _illa_, which Dav. altered. Halm would prefer _credidit_. _Itera dum_, etc.: from the _Iliona_ of Pacuvius; a favourite quotation with Cic.; see _Ad Att._ XIV. 14, and _
