XXII. Statim e somno, quem plerumque in diem extrahunt, lavantur, saepius calida, ut apud quos plurimum hiems occupat. Lauti cibum capiunt: separatae singulis sedes et sua cuique mensa: tum ad negotia, nec minus saepe ad convivia, procedunt armati. Diem noctemque continuare potando, nulli probrum. Crebrae, ut inter vinolentos, rixae, raro conviciis, saepius caede et vulneribus transiguntur.
Lavantur, wash themselves, i.e. bathe; like Gr. louomai. So aggregantur, 13; obligantur, 21, et passim. Calida, sc. aqua, cf. in Greek, thermo louesthai, Aristoph. Nub. 1040. In like manner Pliny uses frigida, Ep. 6, 16: semel iterumque frigidam poposcit transitque.
It is a very curious fact in itself, especially as expounding the main cause of the civil wars. That boys in the Prætexta did not bathe in the public baths, is certain; and most unquestionably that is the meaning of the expression in Juvenal so much disputed "Nisi qui nondum ære lavantur."

Ann. 1, 13: cum Tiberii genua advolveretur; also lavantur, 22. Eo tanquam. Has reference to this point, as if, i.e. to this opinion, viz. that thence, etc. Cf. illuc respicit tanquam, 12. Inde From the grove, or the god of the grove. Cf. 3: Tuisconem ... originem gentis. Adjicit auctoritatem, sc. isti superstitioni. Magno corpore==reipublicae magnitudine. Corpore, the body politic.
