My work is at prefcnt fufpended \ as I can- not make ufe of my own hand: however I em- ploy myfclf a good deal in reading. If your tranfcribers Ihould be puzzled v/ith my manu- fcript, I beg you would give them your aflift- ance : as indeed there is an interlineation relat- ing to a circumilance in Cato's behaviour when Jhe was only four years of age \ that I could * TFie work to whlck Cicero altades-, was probably a pa- lie negyric upon Cato ; which wrote and publiihed about this time. ^ Plutarch mentions feveral inftances in the life of Cato, wherein that confummate patriot had given very early indi- of his refolute cations and inflexible fpirit. But the moll remarkable, and probably the fame which Cicero had cele- brated in the pafiage he is here fpe iking of, was one that happened vvhcn Cato was in the houfe of his uncle Livius Drufus, who had taken upon hinifelf the care of his educa- that tion. At time the feveral Hates of Italy in alliance with the were republic, ftrenuoufly foliciting the privileges of Ro- citizens : man and Pompedius Silo, a perfon of great note, who came to Rome in order to profecute this affair, was the ft of Drufus. As was one himfel-f guc Pompedius " day amufing Avith the children of the family, Well, young gentlemen, faid he, himfclf to the little Cato addrclung" particularly and his brother, 1 will ufe interell with " hope you your your uncle, to give his vote in our favour." The latter very readily anfwcred in the nffirmative; while Cato fiani- his rcfufal fied by fixing his eves fternly upon Pompediuj, without a faying fingle word ^n reply, Pompedius fnatch- ing him up in his arms, ran with him to the window, and in a pretended rage threatened to throw him out, if did he not immediately yield to his renueft.

That ftrange fellow Deilnetriuis was always, I know, the very reverie of his name-fake of ' Phaleris : but I find he is now o;rown more in- fufferable than ever, and is degenerated into an arrant Biiienus \ I refig;n the marias-ement of him therefore into intirely your hands ; and you will pay your court to him accordingly.

This let:cr furnidics a prefumptive arrfument a- inll the opinion of thofe who imagine, that J)olabella and Tullia were ne- ver aftualiv divorced. For in the firft place, notvvithfland- of time ing it appears that thiTC was forae diftance between it the accident of her death and the prefent epillle ; yet feems to have been the firfl: letter which Cicero had written to Dolabella upon the occafion. Now it is altogether im- probable, if the marriage had fubfifted, that Cieero fhould iiot have given him immediate notice of an event in which, if not from aiFeftion, at leall from intereft, he would have been greatly concerned. In the next place, it is equally improbable, fuppofing there had been no divorce, that Cicero fhould fpeak of this misfortune only in general and dillant term;., as he docs throughout this whole letter, with- out fo much as mentioning the name of Tullia, or intimating even the remotelt hint of any connection between her and Dolabella.

I have put it second in the pair because that is its right place. Criticisms, com^ ments, interpretations, are of comparatively little use until you have read the poetry of which they treat. Like photographs of places that one has not seen, they lack the reviving, realizing touch of remembrance. The book contains a series of essays, written at dif- ferent times, printed separately in different places, and collected, substantially, in a book called The Poetry of Tennyson, which was fortunate enough to find many friends, and has now, I believe, gone out of print.

The localities represented in the collection are as follows: San Fabian, Pangasinan, Luzon.~San Fabian is situated on the Gulf of Lin­ gayen, about 100 miles north of Manila.

COOLEY AND BENET SALWAY IGENERAL I.i General Introduction The aim of this quinquennial survey remains the same as its predecessor, as for the most part does the format, though the team is regrettably reduced by one.1 With an eye to the study of the Roman world, we hope to signal the most important newly published inscriptions, signicant reinterpretations of previously published material, new trends in scholarship, recent studies that draw heavily on epigraphic sources, and noteworthy developments in the various aids to understanding inscriptions (both traditional printed material and electronic resources). In the context of this journal, the geographical range and chronological scope reect the contours and history of the Roman state from its beginnings down to the end of the seventh century. As such, not only does the survey naturally take in Greek as well as Latin texts, but also epigraphic material in other languages relevant to the Roman world.

    Map 87 Pontus-Phasis Compiled by David Braund and T. Sinclair (Turkey), 1997 with the assistance of Diane Braund Introduction Pontus The land of Pontus has two main parts, both of which belonged to the Mithridatic kingdom of Pontus in the Hellenistic period. The first is the main ridge of the Pontic mountains and the steep descent to the shore. The lower slopes are thickly wooded, and the shore districts have a humid and rainy climate. In the main Pontic ridge a gap occurs in the hinterland of Amisus (modern Samsun), after which the mountain chain continues at a lower height and with less abrupt slopes (Strabo’s term Paryadres seems to denote the higher part of the chain). As far east as Rhizaion (Rize) Greek settlements along the coast have existed since the sixth century B.C., and in the case of Sinope the seventh. To the south, the Pontic chain is bordered by Armenia Minor, a part of Armenia itself (Late Antique Sper, probably the Syspiritis of the classical authors), and what was to become the Georgian mountainous district of Tao, drained by the R. Glaukos (Oltu Çay) and the Tortum Çay. The district of Chaldia, the Gümüşhane basin, is difficult to classify, particularly in classical times, as there is no evidence that it belonged either to Pontus (in a geographical or administrative sense), to Armenia Minor, or to Armenia itself. The Roman empire made no effort to control the interior of Chaldia until the reign of Justinian. The second part of Pontus is the series of fertile inland plains, joined by relatively low chains of hills, in the river systems of the Iris (Kızıl Irmak) and the lower Halys (Yeşil Irmak).
