wished to read _in Herodoti_,
supplying _libro_. _Aureolus ... libellus_: it is not often that two
diminutives come together in Cic., and the usage is rather colloquial; cf.
_T.D._ III. 2, _N.D._ III. 43, also for _aureolus_ 119 _flumen aureum_.
_Panaetius_: he had addressed to Tubero a work _de dolore_; see _D.F._ IV.
23. _Cotem_: _T.D._ IV. 43, 48, Seneca _De Ira_ III. 3, where the saying is
attributed to Aristotle (_iram calcar esse virtutis_). _Dicebant_: for the
repetition of this word cf. 146, I. 33.

Sec.136. _Sunt enim Socratica_: the Socratic origin of the Stoic paradoxes is
affirmed in _Parad._ 4, _T.D._ III. 10. _Mirabilia_: Cic. generally
translates [Greek: paradoxa] by _admirabilia_ as in _D.F._ IV. 74, or
_admiranda_, under which title he seems to have published a work different
from the _Paradoxa_, which we possess: see Bait., and Halm's ed. of the
Phil. works (1861), p. 994. _Quasi_: = almost, [Greek: hos epos eipein].
_Voltis_: cf. the Antiochean opinion in I. 18, 22. _Solos reges_: for all
this see Zeller 253 sq. _Solos divites_: [Greek: hoti monos ho sophos
plousios], _Parad._ VI. _Liberum_: _Parad._ V. [Greek: hoti monos ho sophos
eleutheros kai pas aphron doulos]. _Furiosus_: _Parad._ IV. [Greek: hoti
pas aphron mainetai].

Sec.137. _Tam sunt defendenda_: cf. 8, 120. _Bono modo_: a colloquial and
Plautine expression; see Forc. _Ad senatum starent_: "were in waiting on
the senate;" cf. such phrases as _stare ad cyathum_, etc. _Carneade_: the
vocative is _Carneades_ in _De Div._ I. 23. _Huic Stoico_: i.e. _Diogeni_;
cf. _D.F._ II. 24. Halm brackets _Stoico_, and after him Bait. _Sequi
volebat_: "professed to follow;" cf. _D.F._ V. 13 _Strato physicum se
voluit_ "gave himself out to be a physical philosopher:" also Madv. on
_D.F._ II. 102. _Ille noster_: Dav. _vester_, as in 143 _noster Antiochus_.
But in both places Cic. speaks as a friend of Antiochus; cf. 113.
_Balbutiens_: "giving an uncertain sound;" cf. _De Div._ I. 5, _T.D._ V.
75.

Sec.138. _Mihi veremini_: cf. Caes. _Bell. Gall_. V. 9 _veritus navibus_. Halm
and Bait. follow Christ's conj. _verenti_, removing the stop at _voltis_.
_Opinationem_: the [Greek: oiesin] of Sext., e.g. _P.H._ III. 280. _Quod
minime voltis_: cf. I. 18. _De finibus_: not "concerning," but "from among"
the different _fines_; otherwise _fine_ would have been written. Cf. I. 4
_si qui de nostris._ _Circumcidit et amputat_: these two verbs often come
together, as in _D
