2711 VI, 20 | should be slain in his sight, pollutes his conscience as much as
2712 VII, 5 | infancy together with all the pollution of his past life, and having
2713 II, 4 | and ivory by the hand of Polycletus, Euphranor, and Phidias,
2714 VI, 4 | surrounded himself with royal pomp, or loaded himself with
2715 VI, 6 | content with one. Cnoeus Pompeius wished to be the defender
2716 I, 21 | himself; for he represents Pompey when a youth as thus speaking,
2717 I, 6 | Gergithus; and Heraclides of Pontus writes that she lived in

2720 VI, 11 | induced by the vanity of popular favour, expend on the exhibition

2722 VII, 23 | speaks of as supporting the portico of the Stoics, who, in the
2723 I, 11 | that they so divided and portioned out the government of the
2724 I, 21 | was called Palaemon and Portumnus. And the sacred rites of
2725 VI, 21 | given to us for this pur pose, that we might gain the
2726 III, 19 | own. But this sentiment is posed to the former argument.

2760 IV, 26 | power; but this strength prefigured that by the instruction
2761 VI, 20 | not to be inured to vices prematurely, but also old men, whom
2762 VII, 12 | and frequently by medical preparations it remains entire for a
2763 I, 21 | refinement. For while he prepares a feast for his companions,
2764 II, 17 | deceits. For since they have a presentiment of the arrangements of God,
2765 III, 28 | their own speech refutes and presses? Aristotle, says Cicero,

2768 IV, 26 | His bones (as was their prevailing custom), but they only pierced
2769 VI, 12 | for his pledges should be prevented from undergoing death in
2770 II, 8 | ancestors. What, therefore, prevents us from taking a precedent
2771 VII, 14 | all things, and of that primal period at which the world
2772 I, 5 | set up the heaven as the primeval god, because he saw that
2773 I, 15 | trustest thou, O Greece, to princely men?~Why to the dead dost
2774 IV, 20 | sit in darkness out of the prison-house." When, therefore, we who
2775 VI, 4 | yourself will be slain or taken prisoner; to prevent the occurrence
2776 V, 8 | would there be any need of prisons, or the swords of rulers,
