Isaeus, Philoctemon, section 19 (search)
The cause and manner of it I will set forth in the fewest possible words. He had a freed-woman, gentlemen, who managed a tenement-house of his at the Peiraeus and kept prostitutes. As one of these she acquired a woman of the name of Alce, whom I think many of you know. This Alce, after her purchase, lived the life of a prostitutekaqh/sto e)n oi)kh/mati = in cella meretricia sedebat, a technical term that refers to the activities of a working prostitute （see Wyse ad loc. in The Speeches of Isaeus, Cambridge, 1904）. for many years but gave it up when she became too o
Xenophon, On the Art of Horsemanship (ed. E. C. Marchant, G. W. Bowersock, tr. Constitution of the Athenians.), chapter 1 (search)
Inasmuch as we have had a long experience of cavalry, and consequently claim familiarity with the art of horsemanship, we wish to explain to our younger friends what we believe to be the correct method of dealing with horses. True there is already a treatise on horsemanship by Simon,A considerable fragment of this work survives in a MS. in Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The most recent editions are those of Oder and Ruhl. The “cavalry commander” named Simon referred to in Aristophanes' Knights 242, is just a member of the chorus, but the name probably recalls the author. who also dedicated the bronze horse in the Eleusinium at Athens and recorded his own feats in relief on the pedestal. Nevertheless, we shall not erase from our work the conclusions that happen to coincide with his, but shall offer them to our friends with far greater pleasure, in the belief that they are more worthy of acceptance because so expert a horseman held the same opinions as we ourselves: moreover, we shall try

Against the academics.See Lecture V., The New Academy, Levin's Lectures Introductory to the Phoilsophical Writings of Cicero, Cambridge, 1871. IF a man, said Epictetus, opposes evident truths, it is not easy to find arguments by which we shall make him change his opinion. But this does not arise either from the man's strength or the teacher's weakness; for when the man, though he has been confuted,a)paxqei/s. See the note in Schweig.'s edition. is hardened like a stone, how shall we then be able to deal with him by argument? Now there are two kinds of hardening, one of the understanding, the other of the sense of shame, when a man is resolved not to assent to what is manifest nor to desist from contradictions. Most of us are afraid of mortification of the body, and would contrive all means to avoid such a thing, but we care not about the soul's mortification. And indeed with regard to the soul, if a man be in such a state as not to apprehend anything, or understand at all, we think

aties and diplomatic documents of the British government from A.D. 1100 to A.D. 1700. Sir Charles Sedley, 1639?-1701, wrote a tragedy on Antony and Cleopatra as well as several collections of lyric poems. George Stepney, 1663-1707, was also one of the translators of Latin satires. John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, 1647-1680, is best known as a satirist. The Court of Love, here called "A Tale from Chaucer," is adapted from a poem preserved in only one manuscript (Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, R.3.19). It was attributed to Chaucer by Stowe in his 1561 edition, and accepted by other editors thereafter, but it is not actually Chaucer's work. Skeat prints it with other apocryphal works in the Supplement (1897)to his 6-volume edition of Chaucer (Oxford, 1894). Based on its language, he dates it to the early 16th century. The pseudo-Chaucerian Court of Love is 1442 lines long, in rhyme royal stanzas (7 lines rhymed abbaacc). The adaptation, only a bit over 300 lines and in heroi

first of all (as Livius says) he discovered the time of the battle, and he said to those present that the affair was now deciding and the men were going into action. Looking again, and observing the signs, he sprang up with enthusiasm and called out, "You conquer, Caesar."'

A bed stone and side stones to form a triangular duct covered in by stones, a layer of turf, and the filling of soil. h. A duct formed of two semicylindrical files, respectively above and below a flat tile; the whole covered in by stones and the earth as before. i. A perforated drain-pipe of circular or oval section covered in by stones and earth. In the fen lands of Cambridgeshire, England, and other lands of the same description in adjoining counties, the main drains have generally been made 7 1/2 feet deep, or more in larger districts, so that the water may never rise higher than within 18 inches or 2 feet of the surface of the ground. The ladles or float-boards of the scoop-wheel dip 5 feet below the surface of the water, leaving a foot in depth below the dip of the wheel, that the water may run freely to it.

tercourses. Highways were first made public in many parts of England by the Romans. In the time of Edward I. they were ordered to be widened and cleared of trees within 200 feet of the road, for the prevention of robberies. Toll was granted on one in London in 1346. The parishes were made answerable for their condition in 1553. Toll-gates were erected in 1663. In the sixteenth year of the reign of the frivolous Charles II. a turnpike road was established through Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Huntingdonshire. The Simplon road from Geneva to Milan, built by Napoleon, cost the French government 17,000,000 livres ($3,250,000). MacAdam says: The measure of substituting pavements for convenient and useful roads is a kind of desperate remedy, to which ignorance has had recourse. The mode of road-making with broken stone, before MacAdam, was to make a foundation of large stone, on them place stones of a medium size, and finish off with the smallest. MacAdam employs br
