Sec.134. Etiam:  = “yes,” Madv. Gram. 454. Non beatissimam:  I. 22, n. Deus illei.e. more than man (of Aristotle’s [Greek:  e theos e therion]), if he can do without other advantages.  For the omission of est after the emphatic ille cf. 59, n. Theophrasto, etc.:  n. on I. 33, 35. Dicente:  before this Halm after Lamb., followed by Bait., inserts contra, the need for which I fail to see. Et hici.e.  Antiochus. Ne sibi constet:  Cic. argues in T.D. V. that there cannot be degrees in happiness. Tum hoc ... tum illud:  cf. 121. Iacere:  79. In his discrepant:  I. 42 in his constitit.

Sec.135. Moveri:  [Greek:  kineisthai], 29. Laetitia efferri:  I. 38. Probabilia:  the removal of passion and delight is easier than that of fear and pain. Sapiensne ... deleta sit:  see Madv. D.F. p. 806, ed. 2, who is severe upon the reading of Orelli (still kept by Klotz), non timeat? nec si patria deleatur? non doleat? nec, si deleta sit? which involves the use of nec for ne ... quidem.  I have followed the reading of Madv. in his Em., not the one he gives (after Davies) in D.F. ne patria deleatur, which Halm takes, as does Baiter.  Mine is rather nearer the MSS. Decreta:  some MSS. durata; Halm conj. dictata. Mediocritates:  [Greek:  mesopetes], as in Aristotle; cf. T.D. III. 11, 22, 74. Permotione:  [Greek:  kinesei]. Naturalem ... modum:  so T.D. III. 74. Crantoris:  sc. librum, for the omission of which see n. on I. 13; add Quint.  IX. 4, 18, where Spalding wished to read in Herodoti, supplying libro. Aureolus ... libellus:  it is not often that two diminutives come together in Cic., and the usage is rather colloquial; cf. T.D. III. 2, N.D. III. 43, also for aureolus 119 flumen aureum. Panaetius:  he had addressed to Tubero a work de dolore; see D.F. IV. 23. CotemT.D. IV. 43, 48, Seneca De Ira III. 3, where the saying is attributed to Aristotle (iram calcar esse virtutis). Dicebant:  for the repetition of this word cf. 146, I. 33.

Sec.136. Sunt enim Socratica:  the Socratic origin of the Stoic paradoxes is affirmed in Parad. 4, T.D. III. 10. Mirabilia:  Cic. generally translates [Greek:  paradoxa] by admirabilia as in D.F. IV. 74, or admiranda, under which title he seems to have published a work different from the Paradoxa, which we possess:  see Bait., and Halm’s ed. of the Phil. works (1861), p. 994. Quasi:  = almost, [Greek:  hos epos eipein]. Voltis:  cf. the Antiochean opinion in I. 18, 22. Solos reges:  for all this see Zeller 253 sq. Solos divites:  [Greek:  hoti monos ho sophos plousios], Parad. VI. LiberumParad. V. [Greek:  hoti monos ho sophos eleutheros kai pas aphron doulos]. FuriosusParad. IV. [Greek:  hoti pas aphron mainetai].
