For the formation of this class of future-perfects see Peile, Introduction to Greek and Latin Etymology, p. 295, ed. 3; also Roby, Gram. 1, p. 199, who has a list of examples; he supports a different view from that given above; cf. A. 128, e, 3; G. 191, 5; H. 240, 4. COQUIT: 'vexes. This metaphorical use of coquere occurs in poetry and late prose; cf. Plaut.
FIERI: A. 331, a; G. 546, Rem. 1; H. 498, I. n. ESSE: emphatic, = vivere; see n. on 21. EGO VERO etc.: 'I however would rather that my old age should be shorter than that I should be old before my time'. MALLEM: see n. on 26 vellem. NEMO CUI FUERIM: cf. Plaut. Mercator 2, 2, 17 quamquam negotium est, numquam sum occupatus amico operam dare. AT: as in 21, where see n.
I, 24 filium in adoptionem D. Silano emancipaverat, some person is mentioned to whom the original owner makes over his rights. But in Plaut. Bacchid. 1, 1, 90 mulier, tibi me emancupo the sense is 'I enslave myself to you', i.e. Phil. 2, 51 venditum atque emancipatum tribunatum. SENILE ALIQUID ... ALIQUID ADULESCENTIS: chiasmus. For the sense cf. 33 ferocitas iuvenum ... senectutis maturitas.
PYTHAGORAE: chosen no doubt because tradition made Milo a Pythagorean; see n. on 27. Plaut. For the ellipsis see n. on 26. DENIQUE: 'in short'. UTARE: the second person of the present subjunctive hortative is very rare, excepting when, as here, the command is general. Had the command been addressed to a particular person, Cicero might have written ne requisieris. Cf.
Cf. n. on 5 descriptae. ORNATUM: 'costume', used by Latin writers of any dress a little unfamiliar. So in Plaut. IMPEDIT: sc. nos; with this construction the pronoun is always omitted. His first consulship was in 348, his last in 299; Cic. has miscalculated. Valerius was also twice dictator and is said to have held altogether 21 terms of curule offices. PERDUXISSE: sc. agri colendi studia. Cf.
