Glossaria Latina, Vol PRAEFATIO Cum ante aliquot annos, copiis quas v. d. Aemilius Thewrewk congesserat usus, ea quae Festi truncatus codex servat et ea quae Paulus Diaconus Carolo Magno regi ex pleno codice excerpsit quam fidelissime philologis exhibui (Teubn. 1913), tum promisi me in altero volumine maiera esse adgressurum, ut, quatenus possem, ea quae Festus scripsit adumbrarem, glossariorum imprimis saec. vii-vm conscriptorum adiumento usus. Eheu, quam breve iter mihi tunc visus sum ingredi ; quam longum, quam salebrosum reipsa sum expertus ! Nam quamvis bene Goetz fundamenta glossographicae doctrinae jecisset (Corp. Gloss. Lai., 1-VII), aedificia erant superponenda, Glossarium Ansileubi — urbis illud quidem, non aedificii instar — erat publicandum, Glossarium Abolita a Glossario Abstrusa secernendum, denique cetera glossa­ ria diligentius investiganda, ut Festinas e vasta congerie glossas aliqua ratione eruerem quae et mihi et tibi, lector, satis placeret. Quo igitur testimonio sim fretus audi. 1. DE FESTI CODICE. Quid Festus scripserit testatur imprimis unicus qui extat Festi codex Nea­ politanus (IV A 3) sive Farnesianus, exaratus scriptura quae dicitur Farfensi, et, si vera fama est, ex Illyrico in Italiam saeculo xv advectus. Neque habeo cur negem eum codicem in Illyrico scriptorio oriri potuisse, cum scriptura Far- fensis, de qua disputavi in Palae. Lat. III, nonsolum inRomana regione,sed trans mare Adriaticum in usu fuisse videatur. Ne dimidia quidem pars codicis superest, et illa quidem igne mutilata; sed triumquaternionum qui nunc desunt apogr.aqiha manent, qualiacumque, saeculo xv facta. Qui tamen ea fecerunt limis oculis Pauli epitomam respexisse videntur, difficiliores lectu partes inde aut sumpsisse aut emendasse, otii quam veritatis studiosiores. Solum illud apographum quod Politianus scripsit lacunarum in Festi codice magnitudinem diligenter, non tamen omnino fideliter exhibet. Cave igitur agnoscas duos sem- per testes in apographorum cum epitoma consensu (cf. ad 114,5). In ipso qui superest codice sequi solent binas plenas paginarum columellas — interiores scilicet — binae — scilicet exteriores — igne ita adesae ut nonnisi dimidiae versuum partes supersint. In supplendis eorum versuum lacunis praecipuus 74 PRAEFATtO labor editoris cuiusque adhuc est impensus. In hac tamen editione audaciorem praeterea laborem mihi imposui, ut in eis partibus, ubi nec Festi codex super- ^ est nec Festi codicis apographum, e Paulina epitoma elicere coner quid Festus tractaverit et quo modo. Eam igitur me scito in apparatu materiam congessisse quae, me iudice, a Festo non abhorreat, non tamen omnimodam (1) undique collectam ; et ea mente me scito eam ibi posuisse, ut animo fingere possis quas res et quo modo tractavisse Festum verisimile sit in hac libri sui parte, ubi solius Pauli testimonium manet. Imprimis Varronis de eis rebus testimonium citavi, quoniam Varro et Verrius toties consentire videntur, v. g. : (L. L. 5,91) Turma <= terima ' — E in U abiit — quod ter deni equites ex tribus tribubus Titiensium, Ramnium, Lucerum be­ bant. Itaque primi singularum decuriarum decuriones dicti, qui ab eo in singulis turmis sunt etiam nunc terni. (Fest. 484,9) Turmam equitum dictam esse ait Curiatius quase ' terimam quod ter deni equites ex tribus tribubus Titiensium, Ramnium, Lucerum bebant. Itaque primi singularum decuriarum decu­ riones dicti, qui ex eo in singulis turmis sunt etiam nunc terni. In aliis partibus lacunas quae in nostro codice sunt interdum supplere,cona­ tus sum, MUellerum maxime secutus, interdum vacuas numero amissarum litterarum indicato reliqui. Quos numeros ne quaeso nimis religiose colueris, quoniam regulari illa Carolinarum minuscularum concinnitate caret scriptura Farfensis, neve ad 148,21 : Veranius in libro.. (7 /tb.).. de Verbis Pontibcum nimis conbdenter collegeris supplendum esse certe 'secundo', minus certe 'tertio', nullo modo 'primo'. II. DE scHOLHs isiDORiANis (Valliceli. A 18). Codex Farnesianus saeculi x: exeuntis est. Exeunte priore saeculo Grausus, qui episcopus Cenetensis c. ann. 1000 P. G. creatus est,adhibuitinltalianimirum septemtrionali codicem Festi nunc deperditum, dum scholia componit in Isi- dori Etymologias. Quae scholia v. d. G. Anspach ante aliquot annos repperit nuper edidit Whatmough (Bulletin Du Cange 1926-1927). Epitomam quoque Paulinam a Grauso adhibitam esse vix crediderim ; sicubi igitur scholium ad eam quadrat, videtur mihi Festus a Paulo fuisse bdeliter descriptus, non dico plene exscriptus. Grausum tamen saepe verba Festi rebnxisse, saepe decurtasse patet. (1) Quam tamen collegi et, siquando oooasio erit, sub titulo ' Index ad Philologioam Verriana3 Aetatis Dootrinam' publioi iuris iaoiam. PRAEFATIO 75 III. DE GLOssis FE ST iN is (Vat. lat. 1469). Ex anteriore Festi codice in Italia, ni fallor, septemtrionali glossas aliquot — O utinam plures! — sumpsit nescioqui priscorum vocabulorum amator et in marginibus corporis glossariorum, sicubf locum idoneum invenit, adscripsit. Transcriptum est illud glossariorum corpus cum additamentis pretiosissimis anno 908 (Vat. lat. 1469) ; et ea additamenta non multo prius illuc viam inve­ nisse testatur altera corporis transcriptio sequente anno facta quae ea non habet (Casin. 218). Equidem non possum intellegere quare partem addita* mentorum Goetz in Museo Rhenano (40,324) et in Corp. Gloss. Lat. (IV p.xvm) separatim, v. g. Abzet: extincta est vel mortua, Lucilius in XXII « primum Pacilius tesorofllax pater abzet )>, partem in Corp. Gloss. Lat. (V pp. 520-528) cum aliis vulgaribus glossis indis- cretim ediderit, v. g. (ex Fest. 51,10) Ceres : frumentum vel panem, Liber vitem vel vinum, Venus libidinem vel holera, Neptunus aquam vel pisces, Vulcanus ignem vel solem significant. 3 Cocus edi[di]t Neptunum, Cererem et Venerem expertam Vul­ canum, Liberumque pariter absorbuit (ob- ?) )>, id est cocus comedit pisces et panem et holera cocta ad ignem, et vinum pariter bibit. Quae viri docti inconstantia lectoribus imposuit, siqui nesciunt eas glossas Festinas; nullo indicio in codice designatas, nonnisi hic illic in congerie glossa­ rum alienarum apparere, ' raras nantes in gurgite vasto ', neque ullo alio -dis­ crimine agnosci posse nisi quia in ceteris glossariis non reperiuntur. Dubiae igitur sunt nonnullae, v. g. Ola : summi umeri pars posterior, quae utrum ex Isidoro hausta sit (Etym. 11, 1, 62 : Ola summi humeri pars posterior), an ad Isidorum ex communi fonte, scilicet Festo, pervenerit non omnino liquet; Pegnides : Musae ob ingentem liquorem appellantur a fonte quem ungulae ictu patefecisse dicitur equus, Pepteides : Musae a fonte Macedonico dictae sunt propter liquoris eius unicam subtilitatem splendoremque, quae duae, cum eosdem errores (Pegnides pro ' Pegasides ', Pepteides pro ' Pipleides ') atque Pauli epitoma (234,9 et 11) exhibeant, suspicio oritur ne ex epitoma sint haustae. Nam hoc glossariorum corpus eius temporis est quo Paulus a glossariorum conditoribus adhibebatur. 76 PRAEFATIO Necnon iHud animadvertendum est quod Goetz acute monuit, giossas Luci- lianas saepe iibri Saturarum numerum praebere, quem vix umquam praebet Festus (s. v. Noctipugam, 180,1 ' Lucibus iib. II '). Miram sane rem, sed vix idoneam ad eas giossas a Festo abiudicandas, quoniam iiber de Verborum Significatu in usu apud doctos Itaiiae septemtrionaiis, ne dicam omnis Ita­ liae, eis saecuiis erat. (Cf. etiam Manitius, Herm. 27 [1892], 318, qui ex cata- iogo bibliothecae Cfuniacensis ' Pomp. Fest. ad Artorium Rufum ' pro­ trahit). IV. DE PAULI DlACONI EPITOMA. Iterum, iector, per spatium fere centum annorum regredere ad tempora Caroii Magni, ad quem Paulus Diaconus, in Itaiia septemtrionaii, ni fabor — non ad Casinum —, tum versatus, epitomam Festi misit cum hac epistoia : « Divinae iargitatis munere sapientia potentiaque praefulgido domno regi Karoio regum sublimissimo Pauius ultimus servuius. Cupiens aiiquid vestris bibliothecis addere, quia ex proprio perparum vaieo, necessario ex aiieno mu­ tuavi. Sextus denique Pompeius, Romanis studiis affatim eruditus, tam ser­ monum abditorum quam etiam quarundam causarum origines aperiens, opus suum ad viginti usque proiixa volumina extendit. Ex qua ego prolixitate super- ffua quaeque et minus necessaria praetergrediens et quaedam abstrusa penitus stifo proprio enucleans, nonnuba ita ut erant posita reiinquens, hoc vestrae cefsitudini legendum conpendium optuii. In cuius serie, si tamen iectum ire non dedignabimini, quaedam secundum artem, quaedam iuxta ethimoiogiam posita non inconvenienter invenietis, et praecipue civitatis vestrae Romuieae portarum viarum montium iocorum tribuumque vocabula diserta repperietis, ritus praeterea gentiiium et consuetudines, varias dictiones quoque poetis et historiographis famiiiares quas in suis opusculis frequentius posuere.

Quem Festi codicem habuit Pauius, is saepissime cum Farnesiano in mendis consensit (v. g. 334, 2 ' Redibitur tum ' pro Redhibitum ; 384,14 ' hostiae ' pro hostire ; 334,17 ' divinitus ' pro diu intus), aiiquando melior erat (v. g. 379, 2, ubi tria verba propter homoeon in Farnesiano interciderunt), aliquando peior (v. g. 234, 2, ubi ridicule ' Piacularis porta ' Paulus pro porca exhibet). Et quamquam Pauli testimonium in eis partibus quas Farnesianus servat inutile est, pro religione habui epitomam totam exhibere, ut aestimare possis quam,saepe Festum piene et bdeiiter exscripserit Pauius, quo consilio mutare soieat (v.

    The Invisibility of Juvenal James Uden Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 2011 James Uden All rights reserved. ABSTRACT The Invisibility of Juvenal James Uden This dissertation offers a reading of Juvenal’s Satires. It maintains that Juvenal consciously frustrates readers’ attempts to identify his poetic voice with a single unitary character or persona. At the same time, it argues that Juvenal’s poems are influenced in both form and theme by cultural trends in the early second century. The arguments staged in these poems constitute a critique of aspects of Roman intellectual culture in the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian. Contents Preface 1. Provoking the Charge: Epic Poet and Reticent Informer in Satire One The Recitation Hall (Part One) The Paradox of Contemporary Epic The Satirist as Delator The Crisis of Criticism Satiric Voices in Tacitus’ Dialogus de Oratoribus The Recitation Hall (Part Two) 2. The Invisibility of Juvenal ‘Atopic Topology’: The Thirteenth Oration of Dio Chrysostom Juvenal’s Second Satire: Strategies for Speech and Disguise Secrecy and Violence in Satire Nine 3.

  • Julius Caesar
    JULIUS CAESAR I. IN the course of his sixteenth year [c. 85/84 B.C.] he lost his father. In the next consulate, having previously been nominated priest of Jupiter [by Marius and Cinna, Cos. 86], he broke his engagement with Cossutia, a lady of only equestrian rank, but very wealthy, who had been betrothed to him before he assumed the gown of manhood, and married Cornelia, daughter of that Cinna who was four times consul, by whom he afterwards had a daughter Julia; and the dictator Sulla could by no means force him to put away his wife. Therefore besides being punished by the loss of his priesthood, his wife's dowry, and his family inheritances, Caesar was held to be one of the opposite party. He was accordingly forced to go into hiding, and though suffering from a severe attack of quartan ague, to change from one covert to another almost every night, and save himself from Sulla's detectives by bribes. But at last, through the good offices of the Vestal virgins and of his near kinsmen, Mamercus Aemilius and Aurelius Cotta, he obtained forgiveness. Everyone knows that when Sulla had long held out against the most devoted and eminent men of his party who interceded for Caesar, and they obstinately persisted, he at last gave way and cried, either by divine inspiration or a shrewd forecast: 'Have your way and take him; only bear in mind that the man you are so eager to save will one day deal the death blow to the cause of the aristocracy, which you have joined with me in upholding; for in this Caesar there is more than one Marius.'

  • The Equestrian Order
    2 The Equestrian Order Quid melius Roma? —Ovid Pont. 1.3.37 he fullest evidence for what the life of an Augustan eques Romanus in- Tvolved, what activities he participated in and what ideological expressions he contributed to as an eques, is offered by the poet Ovid.1 Though he declined a public career, Ovid’s life exemplifies the fundamental trends of equestrian history: centralization around a core of civic functions, the central- ity of the emperor, the emergence of a collective identity. This political culture forms the essential backdrop to the public response of the equester ordo to monarchy and the succession. At about age fifteen (28–27 B .C.), Ovid followed his father into the Roman Forum to assume the toga and the latus clavus, the broad tunic stripe signify- ing that he would seek senatorial office. The years slipping by with a silent step, my brother and I assumed the toga that meant more freedom, and our shoulders were covered by the purple of the broad stripe.2 . the toga of liberty . when a crowd would gather round the tiro.3 1. Ovid’s picture of equestrian life combines events and rites he participated in with ones he would have participated in had he not been exiled. For the historical value of Ovid’s remem- bered or imagined testimony see F. Millar, “Ovid and the Domus Augusta: Rome Seen from Tomoi,” JRS 83 (1993): 1–17. 2. Tr. 4.10.27–29: “interea tacito passu labentibus annis / liberior fratri sumpta mihique toga est, / induiturque umeris cum lato purpura clavo.” 3.

  • Frank Sear, 'A Funny Thing Happened in the Theatre'
    A FUNNY THING HAPPENED IN THE THEATRE Frank Sear Based on the H.W. Allen Memorial Lecture Ormond College, 14 October 2010 Many funny things happened in the theatre. Indeed the theatre seems to have been a fairly riotous place at the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 2nd century BCE when at the plays of Plautus and Terence were performed. However it will be argued in this paper that the theatre became the most prestigious entertainment venue by the time of the Julio-Claudians. There are a number of reasons for this, but firstly a word about the main competing forms of entertainment. One form of entertainment was the gladiatorial games and beast hunts (uenationes) which were held in the amphitheatre. The atmosphere of the amphitheatre seems to have been quite informal. Men could sit with women, and eating and drinking do not seem to have been frowned on. Excavations in the Colosseum have revealed plates, bowls, glass beakers, spoons, the stones of peaches, olives, cherries and walnuts, as well as grape-pips, pig and chicken bones, and oyster shells. Quintilian tells a story of Augustus who saw a Roman knight drink- ing at the games.1 He sent him the following message: ‘If I want to dine, I go home.’ To which the other replied: ‘Yes, but you are not afraid of losing your seat.’ Gladiatorial shows were immensely popular, in some cases more popular than theatrical performances. In a theatre in the early 2nd century BCE a rumour was spread that a gladiato- rial show was about to start.2 Immediately the audience scrambled to leave the theatre and the performance had to be abandoned.
