Corio sums up his character thus: 'Fu costui uomo alla libidine molto proclivo; in grandissimo precio furono le gioie appresso di lui. Del giorno faceva notte, e la notte ispediva quanto gli occorreva. Marcus Attilius Alexius says: 'Paulus II. ex concubiná domum replevit, et quasi sterquilinium facta est sedes Barionis.

An oblique censure of the Romans for purchasing peace and alliance with the Germans, cf. XVI. Populis. Dative of the agent instead of the abl. with a or ab. Cf. note 3: Ulixi. Ne quidem.
