CHAPTER IV.
[1] Tac. An. xv. 16.
[2] For a full list of all the arguments for and against these dates the reader is referred to Teuffel, R. L. § 287.
[3] The exact date is uncertain. He speaks of Seneca as living, probably between 62 and 65 A.D. But he never mentions Pliny, who, on the contrary, frequently refers to him. He must, therefore, have finished his work before Pliny became celebrated.

[5] G. iv. 148.
[6] On the pro Milone, pro Scauro, pro Cornelia, in Pisonem, in toga candida.
[7] Scholia Bobbiensia.
[8] It is identical with the second book of Sacerdos, who lived at the close of the third century.
[9] Ann. xvi. 18.
