XLVI. Sapientibus. Cf. sapientiae professoribus, 2, note. Te immortalibus laudibus. I feel constrained to recur to the reading of Lipsius and Ritter, it is so much more spirited than quam temporalibus. Potius manifestly should refer back to lugeri and plangi. The comparison contained in the more common reading is uncalled for in the connection, and of little significance in itself.
His. 1, 25: conscientiam facinoris; Cic. Cat. 1. 1: omnium horum conscientia. The sentiment of both passages is just and fine. Sapientiae professoribus. Philosophers, who were banished by Domitian, A.D. 94, on the occasion of Rusticus's panegyric on Thrasea. T. not unfrequently introduces an additional circumstance by the abl. abs., as here.

Scilicet illo igne vocem populi Romani et libertatem senatus et conscientiam generis humani aboleri arbitrabantur, expulsis insuper sapientiae professoribus atque omni bona arte in exilium acta, ne quid usquam honestum occurreret.
Abl. abs. denoting an additional circumstance. Cf. 2: expulsis professoribus, note. Olim limits victis. XII. Honestior. The reverse was true in the Trojan War. Factionibus trahuntur==distrahuntur in factiones. Dr., and Or. T. is fond of using simple for compound verbs. Civitatibus. Dat. for Gen. Pro nobis. Abl. with prep. for dat. Enallage. R. Conventus. Convention, meeting. Coelum foedum.
