What a letter do you think you have written me I could make bold to say, that never did she who bore me and nurst me, write anything SO delightful, so honey-sweet. And this does not come of your fine style and eloquence: otherwise not my mother only, but all who breathe. 1 Ad M. Caes, ii. 5.
Before the present century nothing was known of the works of Fronto, except a grammatical treatise; but in 1815 Cardinal Mai published a number of letters and some short essays of Fronto, which he had discovered in a palimpsest at Milan. Other parts of the same MS. he found later in the Vatican, the whole being collected 2 Ad Verum imp. Aur. Caes., ii, 7. and edited in the year 1823.
Farewell, dearest and most beloved master, whom I miss, I may say, more than Rome it~dL' 1 Ad M Caes., iv. 1. 2 ii. 14 3 iv. 5,6. 'MY BELOVED MASTER,-I am well. I slept a little more than usual for my slight cold, which seems to be well again.
Farewell, Fronto, wherever you are, honey-sweet, my darling, my delight. Why do I want you? I can love you while far away. One anecdote puts Marcus before us in a new light: 1 Fronto's wife. 2 Fronto's daughter 3 Ad M. Caes ii. 12. 'When my father returned home from the vineyards, I mounted my horse as usual, and rode on ahead some little way.
O if 1 could kiss your head at every heading of it! You have looked down on all with a vengeance. This oration once read, in vain shall we study, in vain shall we toil, in vain strain every nerve. Farewell always, most sweet master. 1 Ad M. Caes., ii. 3. 2 The Emperor Antoninus Pius is spoken of as dominus vieus. 3 This sentence is written in Greek.
The Germans, on the other hand, really thought some of their wise women to be divine. Cf. His. 4, 62, and my note ibid. Reverence and affection for woman was characteristic of the German Tribes, and from them has diffused itself throughout European society. IX. Deorum. Sec. 3. Mercurium. So Caes. B.G. 6, 17: Deum maxime Mercurium colunt. Tur. His. Ang. Sax. App. to B. 2. chap. 3.
Not used in this sense by Cic., Caes. and Liv., though frequent in T. Gr. Cf. note on the same, 27. Obliquare. Others translate obliquare by twist. Many ancient writers speak of this manner of tying the hair among the Germans, cf. Sen. de Ira. 3, 26.; Juv. 13, 164. A servis separantur. Separantur==distinguuntur. Servants among the Suevi seem to have had their hair shorn.
And now in pursuance of that design, he goes back to the commencement of their history, as related to and known by the Romans. Cf. note, G. 28. Divus. Cf. note, G. 28: D. Julius. For Julius Caesar's campaigns in Britain, see Caes. B.G. 4, 21. seq.; 5, 5. seq.; Strabo, Lib. 4, &c. Consilium. See Ann. 1, 11. Praeceptum. Ann. 1, 77; 4, 37. C. Caesarem. Caligula, cf. 4, note. Agitasse, etc. cf. 39.
He continued his literary studies throughout his life, and after he became emperor we still find him asking his adviser for copies of Cicero's Letters, by which he hopes to improve his vocabulary. Pronto Helps him with a supply of similes, which, it seems, he did not think of readily. It is to be feared that the fount of Marcus's eloquence was pumped up by artificial means. 1 Ad M. Caes., ii. 10.
Also Caes., B.G. 6, 21: magna corporis parte nuda. Sagulo. Dim. of sago. A small short cloak. Leves==Leviter induti. The clause nudi leves is added here to show, that their dress is favorable to the use of missiles. Missilia spargunt. Dictio est Virgiliana. Coloribus. Cf. nigra scuta, Sec. 43. "Hence coats of arms and the origin of heraldry." Mur. Cultus. Military equipments.
