1 In the same note he cites for the same purpose Cic. de rep. IV 6 (Non. p: 24) 'censoris ludicium nihil fere damnato obfert nisi ruborem. itaque, ut omnis ea iudicatio uersatur tantummodo in nomtne, animaduersio ilia ignominia dicta est, and comments ‘So Cicero pronounced ignominia more or less as “innominia.”’ Non sequitur: the only inference which can be drawn from Cicero's words is that he derived ignominia, quite rightly, from nomen: there is no indication that he made the mistake of deriving it from in nomine.
