the pronoun being then adverbially used, and not in agreement with the
subject. Cf. n. on 65 _illius quidem_; also _neque ea_ in 22. -- SIMPLEX:
life is compared to a race, in which each man has to run once and only once
around the course. -- TEMPESTIVITAS: 'seasonableness'; cf. 5 _maturitate
tempestiva_, with n. -- INFIRMITAS: the context shows that not physical but
intellectual weakness is meant; so in Acad. 2, 9 _infirmissimo tempore
aetatis_; Fin. 5, 43 _aetas infirma_. -- FEROCITAS: 'exultation', 'high
spirit'. -- IAM CONSTANTIS AETATIS: _i.e._ middle age, the characteristic
of which is _stability_; cf. 76 _constans aetas quae media dicitur_; also
60; Tac. A. 6, 46 _composita aetas_. For _iam_ cf. Suet. Galb. 4 _aetate
nondum constanti_; pro Caelio 41 _aetas iam corroborata_; Fam. 10, 3, 2
_aetas iam confirmata_. -- MATURITAS: 'ripeness', _i.e._ of intellect or
judgment. -- SUO: G. 295, Rem. 1; H. 449, 2.

34. AUDIRE TE ARBITROR: 'I think that news reaches you'. -- HOSPES: see n.
on 28 _orator_. -- AVITUS: there was a strong friendship between the elder
Africanus and Masinissa, king of Numidia, who in 206 B.C. passed over from
the Carthaginian alliance to that of the Romans. He was richly rewarded by
Scipio, and remained loyal to Rome till his death. He lived to welcome the
younger Scipio in Africa during the last Punic war, and to see the utter
ruin of Carthage. See Sall. Iug. 5, 4. For the expression _hospes tuus
avitus_ cf. Plautus, Miles 135 _paternum suom hospitem_. -- CUM INGRESSUS
etc.: _i.e._ protracted exercise of one kind did not weary him. -- CUM ...
EQUO: though Cic. says _in equo vehi, esse, sedere_ etc. the preposition
here is left out because a mere ablative of manner or means is required to
suit the similar ablative _pedibus_. So Div. 2, 140 _equus in quo vehebar_,
'the horse on which I rode'; but ib. 1, 58 _equo advectus ad ripam_,
'brought to the bank _by the aid_ of a horse'. -- SICCITATEM: 'wiriness',
literally 'dryness' or freedom from excessive perspiration, colds and the
like; cf. Tusc. 5, 99 _siccitatem quae consequitur continentiam in victu_;
