maxime , Sc. de nobis. 249.5

XIII Kalendas Januarias (December 20), the day when the third and fourth Philippics were spoken, — one in the Senate and one in the Forum, -declaring Antony a public enemy. 249.6

ex Kalendis Januarus , when, in the fifth Philippic, he urged that no negotiations should be had with Antony.
