ALIQUID AD TE: 'some work dedicated to you'; so below, 3; cf. also Lael. 4 ut de amicitia scriberem aliquid; ib. Catone maiore qui est scriptus ad te de senectute; Div. 2, 3 liber is quem ad nostrum Atticum de senectute misimus. AUT ... AUT CERTE: so often in Cic.; certe, 'at any rate'. SENECTUTIS: at the time the words were written Cic. was 62 years old, Atticus three years older.
Almost every branch of learning was ranked under the head of Philosophy. Strabo even claimed that one branch of Philosophy was Geography. 2, 3 interiectus est nuper liber is quem ad nostrum Atticum de senectute misimus. No argument can be founded on the words interiectus est, over which the editors have wasted much ingenuity. They simply mean 'there was inserted in the series of my works'.
