'There, people of wide experience would say, 'There goes the sallowest bimetallist in Cheshire. Once this was said so that he overheard it: it was said by an actuary, under a sunset of mauve and grey. Polycarp turned upon him. 'Sallow! he cried fiercely, 'sallow! Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes. It was said that no actuary ever made game of Dr. Polycarp again."
We at once think of the commonplace from Juvenal: "Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes." But Rome, without remonstrating, put up with any absurdity of that kind. Sextius and Milo and others had been joined together in opposing the election of Clodius as Ædile, and had probably met violence with violence.
Phil. 11, 28 Iuppiter ipse sanxit ut omnia quae rei publicae salutaria essent legitima et iusta haberentur. Consult Mommsen, Hist of Rome, Bk. IV. Ch. 12. ADMIRABILIUS: 'more amazing'. The Latin word has a much stronger meaning than the English word derived from it. QUO MODO TULIT: = eum modum quo tulit, so that the clause is not really dependent on cognovi, nor tulit irregularly put for tulerit.
