His family, as has been said, respected his wish that he should be buried as a private citizen, without any public and official pomp. His fellow-citizens nevertheless resolved to commemorate in some special fashion the decease of the real head of their State. A minute setting forth his services was incorporated in the _Acta_ of the Ten, who also passed a law declaring that he was to be afterwards known by the title of _Pater Patriæ_, and appointed Donato Acciaiuoli to commend its adoption to the people in a set oration. The law was adopted by acclamation, and Cosimo is always known as Cosimo Pater Patriæ. FOOTNOTES: [4] _Le Istorie Fiorentine_, Niccolò Machiavelli, p. 240. Firenze, 1900.
