I. 14, who
doubts whether Cic. ever wrote _-is_ in the gen. of the Greek names in
_-es_. When we consider how difficult it was for copyists _not_ to change
the rarer form into the commoner, also that even Priscian (see _M.D.F._ V.
12) made gross blunders about them, the supposition of Madv. becomes almost
irresistible. _Temeritatem_: [Greek: propeteian, eikaioteta].

Sec.109. _In navigando_: cf. 100. _In conserendo_: Guretus interprets "[Greek:
en to phytyesthai ton agron]," and is followed by most commentators, though
it seems at least possible that _manum_ is to be understood. For the
suppressed accus. _agrum_ cf. n. on _tollendum_ in 148. _Sequere_: the fut.
not the pres. ind., cf. 61. _Pressius_: cf. 28. _Reprehensum_: sc.
_narrasti_. _Id ipsum_: = _nihil posse comprehendi_. _Saltem_: so in 29.
_Pingue_: cf. _Pro Archia_ 10. _Sibi ipsum_: note that Cic. does not
generally make _ipse_ agree in case with the reflexive, but writes _se
ipse_, etc. _Convenienter_: "consistently". _Esse possit_: Bait. _posset_
on the suggestion of Halm, but Cic. states the doctrine as a living one,
not throwing it back to Antiochus time and to this particular speech of
Ant. _Ut hoc ipsum_: the _ut_ follows on _illo modo urguendum_ above.
_Decretum quod_: Halm followed by Bait. gives _quo_, referring to _altero
quo neget_ in 111, which however does not justify the reading. The best
MSS. have _qui_. _Et sine decretis_: Lamb. gave _nec_ for _et_, but Dav.
correctly explains, "_multa decreta habent Academici, non tamen percepta
sed tantum probabilia._"

Sec.110. _Ut illa_: i.e. the _decreta_ implied in the last sentence. Some MSS.
have _ille_, while Dav. without necessity gives _alia_. _Sic hoc ipsum_:
Sext. then is wrong is saying (_P.H._ I. 226) that the Academics [Greek:
diabebaiountai ta pragmata einai akatalepta], i.e. state the doctrine
dogmatically, while the sceptics do not. _Cognitionis notam_: like _nota
percipiendi_, _veri et falsi_, etc. which we have already had. _Ne
confundere omnia_: a mocking repetition of Lucullus phrase, cf. 58.
_Incerta reddere_: cf. 54. _Stellarum numerus_: another echo of Lucullus;
see 32. _Quem ad modum ... item_: see Madv. on _D.F._ III. 48, who quotes
an exact parallel from _Topica_ 46, and _sicut ... item_ from _N.D._ I. 3,
noting at the same time that in such exx. neither _ita_ nor _idem_, which
MSS. sometimes give for _item_, is correct.

Sec.111. _Dicere ... perturbatum_: for om. of _esse_ cf. 108
