to Rome.

[46] Probus is manifestly wrong in saying that the distribution of
land took place 'post _Mutinense_ bellum.'

[47] For details see H. Nettleship, _Ancient Lives of Vergil_, who
holds that there was really only one eviction.

[48] The writings of Augustus are enumerated by Sueton. Aug. 85--(1)
_Rescripta Bruto de Catone_, a reply to Brutus' pamphlet on Cato; (2)
_Hortationes ad Philosophiam_; (3) _De Vita Sua_; (4) Life of Drusus
(Sueton. _Claud._ 1); (5) Poems: 'Sicily' in hexameters, Epigrams and
Fescennine verses; a tragedy, 'Ajax' (never finished).

[49] Servius wrote 'triennio' perhaps because he thought only of the
dates of _Ecl._ 1 and 10 (H. Nettleship, _ibid._).

[50] C. Schaper's view is that _Ecls._ 4, 6, and 10 were not written
till B.C. 27-25 for a second edition. He supposes _Ecl._ 6 to allude
to the marriage of Marcellus and Julia in 25 (referring 6, 3 to the
_Aeneid_), and _Ecl._ 10 to be a lament for Gallus, who committed
suicide B.C. 27.

[51] Iulus is properly spelt Iullus (as in inscriptions), and is for
Iovillos, a diminutive from the stem of Iuppiter.

[52] L. Orbilius Pupillus of Beneventum, who in his +Perialges+
complained of the wrongs of his profession (Sueton. _Gramm._ 4 and 9).

[53] Maecenas wrote, besides smaller prose works, a history of his own
times (Hor. _Od._ ii. 12, 9; Pliny, _N.H._ vii. 148).

[54] For Horace's relations to Propertius see _Ep._ ii. 2, 91-101, and
under '_Propertius_,' p. 196.

[55] See G. Boissier, _Nouvelles Promenades Archeologiques: Horace et
Virgile_ (Paris, 1886).

[56] Dr. A. W. Verrall's argument (_Studies in Horace_, pp. 25 _sqq._)
that _Od._ i.-iii. were published B.C. 19 is not convincing.

[58] For Horace's eclectic position in philosophy, cf. _Ep._ i. 1,
14-15,

'Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri,
quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes.'

[59] As suggested to us by Prof. W. M. Ramsay. For Horace's opinion of
Catullus cf. _Sat._ i. 10, 18-9,

'Simius iste,
nil praeter Calvum et doctus cantare Catullum.'

Wissenschaften zu Berlin_. 24 Jan. 1889.

account of the literary and philosophical views of his school.
