as I have been able to produce. It
will be found at the end of this volume.

[236] Plutarch--Crassus: [Greek: kai synestesen ek ton
trion ischyn amachon.]

[237] Velleius Paterculus, lib. ii., 44: "Hoc igitur
consule, inter eum et Cn. Pompeium et M. Crassum inita
potentiae societas, quae urbi orbique terrarum, nec
minus diverso quoque tempore ipsis exitiabilis fuit."
Suetonius, Julius Caesar, xix., "Societatem cum utroque
iniit." Officers called Triumviri were quite common, as
were Quinqueviri and Decemviri. Livy speaks of a
"Triumviratus"--or rather two such offices exercised by
one man--ix., 46. We remember, too, that wretch whom
Horace gibbeted, Epod. iv.: "Sectus flagellis hic
triumviralibus." But the word, though in common use, was
not applied to this conspiracy.

[238] Ad Att., lib. ii., 3: "Is affirmabat, illum omnibus
in rebus meo et Pompeii consilio usurum, daturumque
operam, ut cum Pompeio Crassum conjungeret. Hic sunt
haec. Conjunctio mihi summa cum Pompeio; si placet etiam
cum Caesare; reditus in gratiam cum inimicis, pax cum
multitudine; senectulis otium. Sed me [Greek: katakleis]
mea illa commovet, quae est in libro iii.

"Interea cursus, quos prima a parte juventae
Quosque adeo consul virtute, animoque petisti,
Hos retine, atque, auge famam laudesque bonorum."

[239] Homer, Iliad, lib. xii., 243: [Greek: Eis oionos
aristos amynesthai peri patres.]

[240] Middleton's Life of Cicero, vol. i., p. 291.

[241] Pro Domo Sua, xvi. This was an oration, as the
reader will soon learn more at length, in which the
orator pleaded for the restoration of his town mansion
after his return from exile. It has, however, been
doubted whether the speech as we have it was ever made
by Cicero.

[242] Suetonius, Julius Caesar, xx.

[243] Ad Att., lib. ii., 1: "Quid quaeris?" says Cicero.
"Conturbavi Graecam nationem"--"I have put all Greece
into a flutter."

[244] De Divinatione, lib. i.

[245] Ad Quin. Fratrem, lib. i., 1: "Non itineribus tuis
perterreri homines? non sumptu exhauriri? non adventu
commoveri? Esse, quocumque veneris, et publice et
privatim maximam laetitiam; quum urbs custodem non
tyrannum; domus hospitem non expilatorem, recipisse
videatur? His autem in rebus jam te usus ipse profecto
erudivit nequaquam
