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

saepe censuit : see sect. 13 . 200.6

quaestionibus habitis : this relates to the consilium of relatives, held by Lucullus as paterfamilias, or head of the family, in regard to his wife Clodia. 200.7

civem quem. . . judicarant , i.e. Cicero himself. 200.10

regna dedit : the Galatian Brogitarus, son-in-law of King Deiotarus, was complimented with the title of king by a law of Clodius.

ademit : another law of Clodius ordered the deposition of King Ptolemy of Cyprus. 200.11

partitus est : referring to his corrupt bargains for the assignment of provinces. 200.12

civem : this is usually referred to Pompey. But, though Pompey was attacked by Clodius (see sect. 18 ), there was no bloodshed: further, singulari virtute et gloria is a mild expression for Cicero to use of Pompey on this occasion; and, though it is rather exaggerated for the tribune Fabricius (see sect. 38 ), yet the circumstances precisely correspond. 200.14

aedem Nympharum , containing the censorial registers. It seems to have been burnt in the disorders preceding Cicero's exile.
