[41]
We are also familiar with the story
of what happened to Glycon, nicknamed Spiridion.
He asked a boy whom he produced in court why he
was crying; to which the boy replied, that his
paedagogus was pinching him. But the most effective
warning as to the perils which beset the peroration
is the story told by Cicero1 about the Caepasii.
