[869] _Thura._ So Mart., iii., Ep. ii., 5, "Thuris piperisque cucullus." Ovid, Heroid., xi., 4. Virgil applies the epithet _pia_ to the "Vitta," Æn., iv., 637, and to "Far," v., 745.
[870] _Porci._ Cf. x., 355, "Exta, et candiduli divina tomacula porci."
[871] _Vagellius._ Perhaps the "desperate ass" mentioned xvi., 23. Some read Bathylli.
[872] _Tunicâ._ The Stoics wore tunics under their gowns, the Cynics waistcoats only, or a kind of pallium, doubled when necessary. Hor., i., Ep. xvii., 25, "Contra, quem duplici panno patientia ve at." Diogenes pro pallio et tunicâ contentus erat unâ abollâ ex vili panno confectâ, quâ dupliciter amiciebatur. Cynicorum hunc habitum ideo vocabant διπλοΐδα. Hi igitur ἀχίτωνες quidem sed διπλοείματοι. Orell., ad loc. Cf. Diog. Laert, VI., ii., iii., 22, τρίβωνα διπλώσας πρῶτος.
[873] _Epicurum._ Cf. xiv., 319, "Quantum Epicure tibi parvis suffecit in hostis." Pliny says, xix., 4, he was the first who introduced the custom of having a garden to his town house. Prop., III., xxi., 26, "Hortis docte Epicure, tuis." Stat. Sylv., I., iii., 94. "The garden of Epicurus," says Gifford, "was a school of temperance; and would have afforded little gratification, and still less sanction, to those sensualists of our day, who, in turning hogs, flatter themselves that they are becoming Epicureans."
"And louder sobs and hoarser tumults spread For ravish'd pence, than friends or kinsmen dead." Hodgson.
[875] _Deducere._ Ov., Met., vi., 403, "Dicitur unus flesse Pelops humerumque suas ad pectora postquam _deduxit vestes_, ostendisse."
[876] _Humore coacto._ Ter., Eun., I., i., 21, "Hæc verba una mehercle falsa lacrymula Quam oculos terendo miserè vix vi expresserit Restinguet." Virg., Æn., ii., 196, "captique dolis lacrymisque coactis."
[877] _Diversâ parte._ Others interpret it as being "read by the opposite party;" as vii., 156, "quæ veniant diversa parte sagittæ."
[878] _Vana supervacui_, repeated xvi., 41.
[879] _Sardonychus._ Pliny says the sardonyx was the principal gem employed for seals, "quoniam sola prope gemmarum scalpta ceram non aufert." xxxvii., 6.
"If rogues deny their bend (though ten times o'er Perused by careful witnesses before), Whose well-known hand proclaims the glaring lie, Whose master-signet proves the perjury." Hodgson.
