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

vidi enim , I saw with my own eyes. Cicero here artfully recounts other violent acts of Clodius, in the form of reasons which moved him, — thus killing two birds with one stone. 187.5

Hortensium : Cicero's early rival, and opponent in the case of Verres. He was now one of Milo's counsel. 187.7

Vibienus : probably a lapse of Cicero's memory. He was killed in the riots after the death of Clodius. 187.10

haec ,

huic ,

haec : notice the emphatic repetition ( anaphora ). 187.12

Papiri : see note on sect. IS (p. 178,1. IS). 187.14

ad regiam : the old palace of Numa on the Sacra Via at the point where it reached the Forum. It adjoined the temple of Vesta, and was occupied by the pontifex maximus (at this time Caesar). When Augustus was made pontifex maximus he gave the Regia to the Vestal Virgins. The occasion here referred to was probably an election riot in the preceding year.
