Page 6 - Actum quem debuisti, mi Secunde, in excutiendis causis eorum qui Christiani ad te delati fuerant, secutus es. Neque enim in universum aliquid quod quasi certam formam habeat constitui potest.
Page 5 - Christo, quorum nihil posse cogi dicuntur qui sunt re vera Christiani, dimittendos esse putavi. Alii ab indice nominati esse se Christianos dixerunt et mox negaverunt ; fuisse quidem sed desisse, quidam ante plures annos, non nemo etiam ante viginti quoque.
Page 4 - Bellum, quod pugnat utroque, sanguineaque manu crepitantia concutit arma, vivitur ex rapto : non hospes ab hospite tutus, non socer a genero ; fratrum quoque gratia rara est. imminet exitio vir conjugis, illa mariti ; lurida terribiles miscent aconita novercae ; filius ante diem patrios inquirit in annos.
Page 92 - Amplius, aut tantum potuit perferre dolorem — ' Me, me, adsum, qui feci, in me convertite ferrum, O Rutuli ! mea fraus omnis ; nihil iste nee ausus, Nee potuit ; coelum hoc et conscia sidera testor ; Tantum infelicem nimium dilexit amicum.
Page 25 - Alterum genus est equitum. Hi, quum est usus, atque aliquod bellum incidit, (quod ante Csesaris adventum fere quotannis accidere solebat, uti aut ipsi injurias inferrent, aut illatas propulsarent) omnes in bello versantur : atque eorum ut quisque est genere copiisque amplissimus, ita plurimos circum se ambactos clientesque habent. Hanc unam gratiam potentiamque noverunt.
Page 3 - ... ver erat aeternum, placidique tepentibus auris mulcebant zephyri natos sine semine flores. mox etiam fruges tellus inarata ferebat, nee renovatus ager gravidis canebat aristis : flumina iam lactis, iam flumina nectaris ibant, flavaque de viridi stillabant ilice mella.
Page 116 - Carmina cum primum populo juvenilia legi, Barba resecta mihi bisve semelve fuit. Moverat ingenium totam cantata per Urbem Nomine non vero dicta Corinna mihi.
Page 25 - Druides a bello abesse consuerunt neque tributa una cum reliquis pendunt, militiae vacationem omniumque rerum 35 habent immunitatem. Tantis excitati praemiis et sua sponte multi in disciplinam conveniunt et a parentibus propinquisque mittuntur. Magnum ibi numerum versuum ediscere dicuntur. Itaque annos nonnulli vicenos in disciplina permanent. Neque fas esse existimant ea litteris mandare, cum in reliquis fere rebus, publicis privatisque rationibus, Graecis litteris utantur.
Page 90 - Caesar et omnis luli progenies magnum caeli ventura sub axem. 790 hic vir, hic est, tibi quem promitti saepius audis, Augustus Caesar, divi genus, aurea condet saecula qui rursus Latio regnata per arva Saturno quondam, super et Garamantas et Indos proferet imperium ; iacet extra sidera tellus, extra anni solisque vias, ubi caelifer Atlas axem umero torquet stellis ardentibus aptum.
