Sec.106. Memoria:  cf. 22. Polyaenus:  named D.F. I. 20, Diog.  X. 18, as one of the chief friends of Epicurus. Falsum quod est:  Greek and Latin do not distinguish accurately between the true and the existent, the false and the non existent, hence the present difficulty; in Plato the confusion is frequent, notably in the Sophistes and Theaetetus. Si igitur:  “if then recollection is recollection only of things perceived and known.”  The dogmatist theory of [Greek:  mneme] and [Greek:  noesis] is dealt with in exactly the same way by Sext. P.H. II. 5, 10 and elsewhere, cf. also Plat Theaet. 191 sq. Siron:  thus Madv. on D.F. II. 119 writes the name, not Sciron, as Halm. Fateare:  the em. of Dav. for facile, facere, facias of MSS.  Christ defends facere, thinking that the constr. is varied from the subj. to the inf. after oportet, as after necesse est in 39.  For facere followed by an inf. cf. M.D.F. IV. 8. Nulla:  for non, cf. 47, 103.

Sec.107. Fiet artibus:  n. on 27 for the constr., for the matter see 22. Lumina:  “strong points.”  Bentl. boldly read columina, while Dav. proposed vimina or vincula.  That an em. is not needed may be seen from D.F. II. 70. negat Epicurus (hoc enim vestrum lumen est) N.D. I. 79, and 43 of this book. Responsa:  added by Ernesti.  Faber supplies haruspicia, Orelli after Ern. haruspicinam, but, as Halm says, some noun in the plur. is needed. Quod is non potest:  this is the MSS. reading, but most edd. read si is, to cure a wrong punctuation, by which a colon is placed at perspicuum est above, and a full stop at sustineat.  Halm restored the passage. Habuerint:  the subj. seems due to the attraction exercised by sustineat.  Bait. after Kayser has habuerunt. Positum:  “when laid down” or “assumed.”

Sec.108. Alterum est quod:  this is substituted for deinde, which ought to correspond to primum above. Actio ullius rei:  n. on actio rerum in 62, cf. also 148. Adsensu comprobet:  almost the same phrase often occurs in Livy, Sueton., etc. see Forc. Sit etiam:  the etiam is a little strange and was thought spurious by Ernesti.  It seems to have the force of Eng. “indeed”, “in what indeed assent consists.” Sensus ipsos adsensus:  so in I. 41 sensus is defined to be id quod est sensu comprehensum, i.e. [Greek:  katalepsis], cf. also Stobaeus I. 41, 25 [Greek:  aisthetike gar phantasia synkatathesis esti]. Appetitio:  for all this cf. 30. Et dicta ... multa:  Manut. ejected these words as a gloss, after multa the MSS. curiously add vide superiora. Lubricos sustinere
