[532] _Corydon._ Cf. Virg., Ecl., ii., 69, "Ah, Corydon, Corydon, quæ te dementia cepit!" and 56, "Rusticus es, Corydon!" [533] _Claude fenestras._ "Bolt every door, stop every cranny tight, Close every window, put out every light; Let not a whisper reach the listening ear, No noise, no motion--let no soul be near." Gifford. [534] _Gallicinium_ was the technical name for the second military watch, Vid. Facc. [535] _Carptores_, Grangæus explains by "Escuiers trenchants." Facc. by δαιτρός and structor. [536] _Baltea._ "For countless scourgings will the rogues be slack In slanderous villainies to pay thee back?" Badham. [537] _Saufeia_, or Laufella, is supposed to be the "conjux Fusci," mentioned xii., 45, and Mart., iii., Ep. 72; and whose other debaucheries are mentioned vi., 320. Cicero, knowing the propensity of his countrywomen to wine-bibbing, would exclude them from officiating at any sacred rites (at which wine was always used) after nightfall. The festival of the Bona Dea is the only exception he would make. "Nocturna mulierum sacrificia ne sunto, præter olla quæ pro populo rite fiant." [538] _Faciens_; so _operatur_, xii., 92. Virg., Ecl., iii., 77, "Cum _faciam_ vitulâ pro fugibus ipse venito." So Georg., i., 339, "Sacra refer Cereri lætis operatus in herbis." So in Greek, ῥέζειν is constantly used absolutely. "For more stolen wine than late Saufeia boused, When, for the people's welfare, she caroused!" Gifford. [539] _Liber._ "Yet worse than they, the man whose vicious deeds Makes him still tremble at the rogues he feeds." Badham. [540] _Flosculus._ For many exquisite parallel passages to this, see Gifford's note. [541] _Dum bibimus._ "And while thou call'st for garlands, girls, and wine, Comes stealthy age, and bids thee all resign." Badham. [542] _Digito._ Effeminate wretches, who, as Holyday says, like women, are afraid of touching their heads with more than a finger, for fear of discomposing their curls. Pompey had this charge brought against him by one Calvus; and cf. Plut. in Vit., 48. Amm. Marcell., XVII., xi. [543] _Lares_, cf. xii., 87. Hor., iii., Od. xxiii., 15, "Parvos coronantem marino Rore Deos, fragilique myrto." Plin., xi., 2, "Numa instituit deos fruge colere, et mola salsa supplicare et far torrere." [544] _Figam_, a metaphor from hunting.--_Tegete_, cf. v., 8, "Nusquam pons et tegetis pars."--_Baculo_, cf. Ter., Heaut., V., i., 58. [545] C. Fabricius Luscinus, when censor, removed from the senate P. Cornelius Rufinus, who had been twice consul and once dictator, for having in his possession more than ten pounds' weight of plate. Liv., Epit., xiv. He was censor A.U.C. 478. Cf. xi., 90, _seq._
