[94] Jug. 95.
[95] Cat. 5.
[96] Jug. 6, sqq.
[97] Cat. 15, and very similarly Jug. 72.
[98] Quint. x. 1. Nec opponere Thucydidi Sallustium verear. The most obvious imitations are, Cat. 12, 13, where the general decline of virtue seems based on Thuc. iii. 82, 83; and the speeches which obviously take his for a model.
[99] As instances we give—multo maxime miserabile (Cat. 36), incultus, ûs (54), neglegisset (Jug. 40), discordiscus (66), &c. Poetical constructions are—Inf. for gerund, often; pleraque nobilitas for maxima pars nobilium (Cat. 17). For asyndeton cf. Cat. 5, et saepiss.
[100] Cat. 10. The well-known line os ch' eteron men kenthoi eni phresin, allo os bazoi, is the original.
[101] Ib. i. 1, virtus clara aeternaque habetur; obedientia finxit.
[102] It should perhaps be noticed that many MSS. spell the name Salustius.
