G. 6, note. Incuriosa suorum. So Ann. 2, 88: dum vetera extollimus, recentium incuriosi. Incuriosus is post-Augustan. Virtus vicit vitium. Alliteration, which is not unfrequent in T. as also homoeoteleuta, words ending with like sounds. Dr. Ignorantiam invidiam. In aperto. Literally, in the open field or way; hence, free from obstructions. Sal. But that sense would be inappropriate here. Easy.
It is true that in his Agricola he speaks well of Livy, but at the same time he places Fabius Rusticus exactly upon the same level with him: for he says "that Livy among the ancients, and Fabius Rusticus among the modern authors were the most eloquent": "Livius veterum, Fabius Rusticus recentium, eloquentissimi auctores" ; he, therefore, never could have spoken of Livy, as Bracciolini speaks of him in the Annals, as "famous, above others," "praeclarus in primis."
