Commentary

Commentary on Defense of Milo (Select Orations of Cicero (Allen and Greenough's Edition). Greenough, James Bradstreet; Kittredge, George Lyman, editors. Boston, London: Ginn & Company, 1897.) focus

quoad , etc.: the Senate adjourned on this day about the fourth hour (between ten and eleven A.M.). 182.21

calceos : the Senator wore a special kind of shoe adorned with a crescent-shaped ornament ( lunula); his tunic was also distinguished by the broad purple stripe in front ( latus clavus). When travelling, a Roman put off his toga and badges of office and put on a heavy travelling cloak ( paenula) and other easy garments. 182.22

id temporis : § 397 , a (240, b); B. 185, 2; G. 336, N.2; H. 416, 2 (378, 2); H.-B. 388, b. 182.24

ob viam fit : this was just beyond Bovillie (Albano), a village about nine miles from Rome. 182.25

raeda ( rheda), a four-wheeled family carriage. 182.26

Graecis comitibus , singers, dancers, etc. (see sect. 55 ). 182.27

hic insidiator , i.e. Milo (of course ironical). 182.28

apparasset , i.e. as the accusers say: see § 592 , 3 (341, d); B. 323; G. 628; H. 649, i (528, I); H.-B. 535, I, a. 182.29

paenulatus : the paenula went on over the head, like a Mexican poncho, and so confined the arms (Fig. 47). It was the usual travelling cloak of a Roman. 182.30

comitatu : this troop of singing boys and maidens was, no doubt, to take part in the village procession next day at Lanuvium.
