Commentary

Notes on Pro S. Roscio Amerino (Select Orations of Cicero (Allen and Greenough's Edition). Greenough, James Bradstreet; Kittredge, George Lyman, editors. Boston, London: Ginn & Company, 1897.) focus

exspectata , so long waited for. For some years ( B.C. 87-83), while Sulla was in the East, the Marian faction had full control at Rome, and a reign of terror prevailed.

servoli , diminutive of contempt.

bona , estates;

fortunas (more generally), wealth.

id actum est : cf. p. 19, l. 22 .

sententia , often refers to political opinions.

inermis , i.e. had he taken up arms, his regret would have been deeper.

cuique , to every man in proportion as he is, etc.: § 313 , b (93, c); cf. B. 252,5, c; G. 318, ; H. 515, 2 (458, I); H.-B. 278, 2, b.

probe novit : note the strong sarcasm, which points the distinction between the noble cause which was at stake and the sordid motives of Chrysogonus.

resistetur , impersonal.

ille : here indefinite, referring to the supposed person who thinks himself attacked.

rationem , interests (so that what touches one touches the other): a mercantile figure, as we might say, "who thinks his accounts are mixed up with his."

laeditur , etc., is injured by being separated, etc.
