Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 22 (search)
fourfold division of the country, but set up an oligarchy of ten in each division. Philip, whose policy was to divide and conquer, would be unlikely to centralize the government. It is just possible that dekadarxi/an may be a mistaken amplification of *d'arxi/an=tetrarxi/an, but in that case the singular would be strange. Owing to the decarchies which Lysander imposed on so many free cities at the end of the Peloponnesian war, the number ten would have the same sinister associations in Greece as it had at Rome and at Venice. would be established among them, as it is today, or that the same man who restored to them the Amphictyonic meeting at Thermopylae would also appropriate their own peculiar revenues? Impossible! But so it came to pass, as all men may know.

re very powerful in their navy. They well understood that the Romans neither had any number of ships, nor were acquainted with the shallows, the harbors, or the islands of those parts where they would have to carry on the war; and the navigation was very different in a narrow sea from what it was in the vast and open ocean. Having come to this resolution, they fortify their towns, convey corn into them from the country parts, bring together as many ships as possible to Venetia , where it appeared Caesar would at first carry on the war. They unite to themselves as allies for that war, the Osismii, the Lexovii, the Nannetes, the Ambiliati, the Morini, the Diablintes, and the Menapii; and send for auxiliaries from Britain, which is situated over against those regions.

, and takes penitus—perosos as an indignant exclamation—to think that they should now (modo, a)/rti) not abhor the whole race of women! But it seems doubtful whether he had fully grasped Heyne's meaning even when he supported it, as in Lectt. Vergg. l. c. he finds a chronological incongruity between the two clauses peccare—satis and penitus— perosos, not seeing that ante does not go with fuisset but with peccare. Peerlkamp and Ribbeck adopt modo nunc, a conj. of Markland's, found also in the Venice edition of 1472, and perhaps supported by a reading mentioned by Pierius, modo nec. Fuisset then would have its ordinary sense, modo perosos being understood as modo perosi essent; it would have been enough for them to sin once, had they learnt to detest the race of women now. But it is difficult to see what advantage the new reading has over the old. For perosos there is a strange variant perosus, found as a correction in both Med. and fragm. Vat., and originally in Gud., where it is alte

The common reading before Heins. was lacus, which is supposed to be merely a conj. of Joannes Baptista Egnatius, a Venice editor of 1507. The Alban lake is well known, whereas no place is known to have borne the name of Albani loci. But Nisus could not have got nearly as far as the Alban lake: and Wagn. rightly remarks against Heyne that however loose Virg.'s geography may be elsewhere, in speaking of the district about Rome he is likely to be fairly accurate. Ladewig conj. Ae lucos, after a hint of Heyne's, as Cic. Mil. 31 appeals to Albani tumuli atque luci. Even these however would be too distant to have been reached by Nisus. It remains then with Wagn. to suppose that loci Albani was a name given to some district in those parts, perhaps a territory appropriated by the Romans after the taking of Alba. For the form locos 1. 306, 365. De nomine 1. 277, 534 &c.

are taken and brought together. The stone in quarries is found to be of different and unlike qualities. In some it is soft: for example, in the environs of the city at the quarries of Grotta Rossa, Palla, Fidenae, and of the Alban hills; in others, it is medium, as at Tivoli, at Amiternum, or Mt. Soracte, and in quarries of this sort; in still others it is hard, as in lava quarries. There are also numerous other kinds: for instance, in Campania, red and black tufas; in Umbria, Picenum, and Venetia, white tufa which can be cut with a toothed saw, like wood. 2. All these soft kinds have the advantage that they can be easily worked as soon as they have been taken from the quarries. Under cover they play their part well; but in open and exposed situations the frost and rime make them crumble, and they go to pieces. On the seacoast, too, the salt eats away and dissolves them, nor can they stand great heat either. But travertine and all stone of that class can stand injury whether from a h
