On Mentula as a
‘land-poor’
property owner. On the identity of Mentula with Mamurra see Intr. 73. The next poem
speaks of the same estate as this.
Firmanus: Firmum, now Fermo, was a town in
Picenum, about forty miles south of Ancona.
saltu: the word denoted
first uncultivated land (cf.
Fest. p. 302
sallus est ubi silvae et pastiones
sunt, quarum causa casae quoque
), and then a measure of 800 iugera as a single grant of such land by the
land-commissions (Varr. R. R.
1.10.2), and then the grant in general, an
‘estate,’ even though comprising, as
here, some arable land (cf. Fest. l.c. si
qua particula in eo saltu pastorum aut custodum causa
aratur, ea res non peremit nomen saltui).
tot res egregias:
spoken ironically, like non
fulso in v. 1, for Catul. 115.1ff. shows that the

ON "THE ANNALS "—A SO-CALLED POEM OF VOLUSIUS
Volusius' Annals, paper scum-bewrayed!
Fulfil that promise erst my damsel made;
Who vowed to Holy Venus and her son,
Cupid, should I return to her anon
And cease to brandish iamb-lines accurst,
The writ selected erst of bards the worst
She to the limping Godhead would devote
With slowly-burning wood of illest note.
This was the vilest which my girl could find
With vow facetious to the Gods assigned.
Now, 0 Creation of the azure sea,
Holy Idalium, Urian havenry
Haunting, Ancona, Cnidos' reedy site,
Amathus, Golgos, and the tavern hight
Durrachium-thine Adrian abode—
The vow accepting, recognize the vowed
As not unworthy and unhandsome naught.
But do ye meanwhile to the fire be brought,
That teem with boorish jest of sorry blade,
Volusius' Annals, paper scum-bewrayed.
Volusius' Annals, defiled sheets, fulfil a vow for my girl: for
she vowed to sacred Venus and to Cupid that if I were reunited to her, and I
desisted hurling savage iambics, she would give the choicest writings of the
worst poet to the slow-footed god to be burned with ill-omened wood. And the
wretched girl saw herself vow this to the gods in jest. Now, O Creation of the
pale blue sea, you who dwell in sacred Idalium and in storm-beaten Urium, and foster Ancona and reedy Amathus, Cnidos and
Golgos and Dyrrhachium, the tavern of
the Adriatic, accept and acknowledge this vow if it lacks neither grace nor
charm. But meantime, off with you to the flames, crammed with boorish speech and
vapid, Annals of Volusius, defiled sheets.
M. Tullius Cicero, For Aulus Cluentius (ed. C. D. Yonge), chapter 14 (search)
What more? Did not your father, O Oppianicus, beyond all question, murder your grandmother
Dinea, whose heir you are? who, when he had brought to her his own physician, a well-tried man
and often victorious, (by whose means indeed he had slain many of his enemies,) exclaimed that
she positively would not be attended by that man, through whose attention she had lost all her
friends. Then immediately he goes to a man of Ancona, Lucius Clodius, a travelling quack, who had come by accident at that
time to Larinum, and arranges with him for four
hundred sesterces, as was shown at the time by his account-books. Lucius Clodius, being a man
in a hurry, as he had many more market towns to visit, did the business off-hand, as soon as
he was introduced; he took the woman off with the first draught he gave her, and did not stay
at Larinum a moment afterwards. When this Dinea was making her will, Oppianicus, who was her son-in-law,
