1 To those already collected (Lex Agraria 31, Sallust Cat. 17 and 58, De Bello Gallico VIII. 50, Mon. Anc. 21, Tac. Ann. I. 79, III. 55, IV. 67, XV. 33, Hist. II. 20, 56, 62) I may now add two others: Tac. Hist. II. 87, III. 57, where, as in all the above cases, the towns of Italy are meant.

1 Little weight can be assigned to the curious sentence, ‘Tempus est … detegere,’ etc., which is merely a rhetorical device for hastening the formal motion.
