CUM DIU MULTUMQUE VIXERIS: literally 'when you have lived long and much', i.e. when you have not only had a long life but have done a great deal in the course of it. The phrases diu multumque, multum et diu are common in Cic., as below, 38; Acad. 1, 4; Div. 2, 1; Off 1, 118; Leg. Agr. 2, 88; De Or. 1, 152. For mood see A. 309, a; H. 518, 2. See Neue, Formenlehre, Vol. 2, pp. 766 seq., ed. 2.
Diog. Val. Max. 8, 7, 3 gives a slightly different account. ISOCRATI: this form of the genitive of Greek proper names in -es was probably used by Cicero rather than the form in -is; see Madvig on Fin. 1, 14; Neue, Formenlehre, 1² 332.
