Fowler, W. Warde, 1847-1921

"Social life at Rome in the Age of Cicero"

9. _Uni se_, etc.: they are addicted to one and the same
practice, that they may cautiously cheat and craftily contend, outdo
each other in blandishments, feign honesty, set snares as if they were
all enemies to each other.
Page 133, l. 28. _rari nantes_, etc.: few and scattered swimmers in
the vast abyss.
Page 142 (bottom). _Claudite_, etc.: close the doors, maidens, enough
have we sung. And you, noble couple, live happily and apply your
vigorous youth to the assiduous task of wedlock.
Page 149, footnote 2. _Si quid_, etc.: if a woman act reprehensibly or
disgracefully, he punishes her; if she has drunk wine, if she has done
something wrong with a stranger, he condemns her. If you surprise your
wife in the act of adultery, you may with impunity kill her without
any form of judgment; but if she caught you in adultery, she would not
dare touch you, for she has no right.
Page 150, l. 11. _liberorum_, etc.: in order to have children.
Page 155, l. 22. _Odi_, etc.: I hate and I love. You ask perhaps how
that can be.
