Sec.3. Genere:  “department” cf.  I. 3. Navalibus pugnis:  [Greek:  naumachiais]. Instrumento et adparatu:  [Greek:  kataskeue kai paraskeue]. Rex:  Mithridates. Quos legisset:  = de quibus l.; cf. the use of the passive verb so common in Ovid, e.g. Trist. IV. 4, 14.  I take of course rex to be nom. to legisset, the suggestion of a friend that Lucullus is nom. and that quos legisset = quorum commentarios legisset I think improbable. Hodie:  Drakenborch on Livy V. 27 wants to read hodieque, which however, is not Ciceronian.  In passages like De Or. I. 103 and Verr. V. 64, the que connects clauses and does not modify hodie.  On this subject see Madv. Opuscula I. 390. Etsi:  M.D.F. V. 68, shows that in Cic. a parenthetic clause with etsi always has a common verb with its principal clause; a rule not observed by the silver writers.  The same holds of quamquam, see n. on I. 5. Calumnia:  properly a fraudulent use of litigation, [Greek:  sykophantia].  The chief enemy was the infamous Memmius who prosecuted him. In urbem:  until his triumph Luc. would remain outside the city. Profuisset:  this ought properly to be profuerit, but the conditional dicerem changes it. Potius ... quam ... communicem:  n. on 23.

Sec.4. Sunt ... celebrata:  cf.  I. 11, 17 for the collocation of the words. Externa ... interiora:  cf. De Div. II. 124 sed haec quoque in promptu, nunc interiora videamus. Pro quaestore:  for this Faber wrote quaestor, arguing that as Luc. was Sulla’s quaestor and Sulla sent him to Egypt, he could not be pro quaestor.  But surely after the first year he would be pro quaestor.  Dav. reads quaestor here and 11, saying “veterem lectionem iugulavit Faber”. Ea memoria ... quam:  Bentl., Halm, Baiter give qua, Halm refers to Bentl. on Hor. Sat. I. 6, 15.  A passage like ours is D.F. I. 29, ista sis aequitate, quam ostendis, where one MS. has qua.  Read Madvig’s lucid note there. De quibus audiebat:  Madv. Em. 121 makes this equivalent to de eis rebus de quibus, the necessity of which explanation, though approved by Halm, I fail to see.  The form of expression is very common in Cic., and the relative always refers to an actually expressed antecedent, cf. e.g. Cat.  Mai. 83.  I take quibus as simply = libris.

Sec.5. Ac:  strong, as often, = [Greek:  kai men]. Personarum:  public characters, [Greek:  prosopon poleos] (Ad.  Fam. XV. 17, 2), so personas 6. Multi ... plures:  cf.  Introd. p. 30. Reliqui:  many MSS. insert qui by dittographia, as I think, though Halm, as well as Bait., retains it.  On the retention or omission of this qui will depend
