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

Observe that this section (sect. 31 ), which ends the Narratio (or statement of facts), is similar to sect. 23 , which introduces the Narratio: both contain a summing up of the results arrived at in the Confutatio (sects. 7 - 22 ) and both end with a statement of the main question: Which lay in wait for the other? Much of the effort of persuasive argument depends on such repetitions, at the proper moment, of points already made. 183.28
