Sec.83. In parvo lis sit: Durand’s em. for the in parvulis sitis of the MSS., which Goer. alone defends. Quattuor capita: these were given in 40 by Lucullus, cf. also 77. Epicurus: as above in 19, 79 etc.
Sec.84. Geminum: cf. 56. Nota: cf. 58 and the speech of Lucullus passim. Ne sit ... potest: cf. 80 quasi quaeratur quid sit, non quid videatur. Si ipse erit for ipse apparently = is ipse cf. M.D.F. II. 93.
Sec.85. Quod non est: = qu. n. e. id quod esse videtur. Sui generis: cf. 50, 54, 56. Nullum esse pilum, etc.: a strong expression of this belief is found in Seneca Ep.. 113, 13, qu. R. and P. 380. Note the word Stoicum; Lucullus is of course not Stoic, but Antiochean. Nihil interest: the same opinion is expressed in 40, where see my note. Visa res: Halm writes res a re, it is not necessary, however, either in Gk. or Lat. to express both of two related things when a word is inserted like differat here, which shows that they are related. Cf. the elliptic constructions in Gk. with [Greek: homoion, metaxy, mesos], and such words. Eodem caelo atque: a difficult passage.

Faber and other old edd. defend the MSS. reading, adducing passages to show that sky and water were important in the making of statues. For aqua Orelli conj. acu = schraffirnadel, C.F. Hermann caelatura, which does not seem to be a Ciceronian word. Halm’s aeque introduces a construction with ceteris omnibus which is not only not
