Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... with which Horace has made us familiar. § 1. 1. 27. suburfoanum the Nomentanum of 104. 1? Pack 12 1. 2. uitium 'fault', as we should say. The use of the al1. of uitium and beneficium, governing the gen. of a noun denoting something without life, is especially common in Sen. (see 53. 11 n.): it is known to Cicero and Caesar, but was probably a colloquial use. 1. 4. quid mihi futurum est Cic. Att. 10. 12. 1 has the same phrase: cp. Ter.

In the second Petr. passage we have the actual words used: si mentior, genios uestros iratos habeam. 1. 12. quod intra nos sit 'it mustn't go beyond you and me': cp. B. 3. 10. 2 beneficia intra tacitam duorum conscientiam latent, Plin. Ep. 3. 10. 4 cum affirmetis intra uos futura (of a composition which he is sending, but does not want to publish at present). Our 'between you and me' is exactly represented by Cicero's quod inter nos liceat dicere (Att. 2. 4. 1). posueram plupf., Sen. having gone back to the interview with the bailiff--'I knew all the time I had planted them'. § 3....
