[154] _Polycletus._ Cf. viii., 103. His master-piece was the Persian body-guard (cf. Ælian., V. H., xiv., 8), called the "Canon." Vid. Müller's Archæol. of Art, § 120. Euphranor the painter belonged, like Polycletus, to the Sicyonic school. [155] _Foruli_ or _plutei_, cases for holding MSS. Cf. ii., 7. Suet., Aug., xxxi. [156] Cf. Mart., iii., Ep. 52. [157] _Circus._ Cf. x., 81, duas tantum res anxius optat Panem et Circenses. [158] Cf. Milton. "And add to these retired leisure, That in trim gardens takes his pleasure." [159] i. e., "Only the very rich can afford to buy 'Insulæ,' in the quiet part of the city, where their rest will not be broken by the noise of their neighbors, or the street." [160] _Mandra_; properly "a pen for pigs or cattle," then "a team or drove of cattle, mules," etc.; as Martial, v., Ep. xxii., 7, "Mulorum vincere mandras." Here "the drovers" themselves are meant. [161] _Drusum._ Cf. Suet., Claud., v., "super veterem segnitiæ notam." Seals are proverbially sluggish. Cf. Plin., ix., 13. Virg., Georg., iv., 432. [162] _Officium_; attendance on the levees of the great. [163] Cf. i., 64; v., 83; vi., 477, 351. Plin., Pan., 24. [164] i. e., of a litter. Cf. vii., 132. [165] _Culina_, "a double-celled chafing-dish, with a fire below, to keep the 'dole' warm." The custom is still retained in Italy. [166] Domitius Corbulo, a man of uncommon strength, appointed by Nero to command in Armenia. Vid. Tac., Ann., xiii., 8. [167] "The pace creates the draught." [168] _Sedet_; because, being unburied, he must wait a hundred years. Cf. Virg., Æn., vi., 313-330. [169] Hom., Il., xxiv., 12, "ἄλλοτε δ' αὖτε ὕπτιος ἄλλοτε δὲ πρηνής." [170] _Deducere_; "the technical word for the clients' attendance on their patrons;" so "forum attingere; in forum deduci." [171] "He only cudgels, and I only bear." Dryden. [172] _Sectile_, or the inferior kind of leek; the better sort being called "capitatum." Plin., xx., 6. Cf. Sat. xiv., 133, sectivi porri. [173] The order is "Pater, avus, proavus, abavus, atavas, tritavus." He means, therefore, eight generations back at least. [174] Ancus Martius built the prison. Liv., i., 33. The dungeon was added by Servius Tullius, and called from him Tullianum. The next was built by Ap. Claudius the decemvir. [175] _Ceres_ was worshiped under this epithet at Aquinum. Its origin is variously given. [176] _Caligatus_ may mean, "with rustic boots," so that you may not be reminded of Rome; or "with soldier's boots," as armed for our campaign against the vices of the city. SATIRE IV. Once more behold Crispinus![177] and often shall I have to call him on the stage. A monster! without one virtue to redeem his vices--of feeble powers, save only in his lust. It is only a widow's charms this adulterer scorns.
