rare in Cicero; the former word does not once occur in the whole range of
the speeches, the latter scarcely excepting here and in Vat. 9; in Tusc. 3,
29 Cic. uses it in translating from Euripides.

P. 28. -- 66. SOLLICITAM HABERE: 'to keep in trouble'. _Sollicitus_ is,
literally, 'wholly in motion', from _sollus_, which has the same root with
‛ολος, and _citus_; cf. the rare words _sollifides_, _solliferreus_. The
perfect participle with _habeo_ emphasizes the continuance of the effect
produced. Zumpt, 634; A. 292, _c_; G. 230; H. 388, 1, n. -- NOSTRAM
AETATEM: cf. n. on 26 _senectus_. -- ESSE LONGE: more usually _abesse_. --
O MISERUM: 'O, wretched is that old man'. Cicero oftener joins _O_ with the
accusative than with the nominative: he rarely, if ever, uses the
interjection with the vocative in direct address to persons. -- EXTINGUIT
ANIMUM: the doctrine of the annihilation of the soul after death was held
by many of Cicero's contemporaries, professedly by the Epicureans (_e.g._
Lucretius, De Rerum Nat. 3, 417 _et seq._; cf. also Caesar's argument at
the trial of the Catilinian conspirators, Sall. Bell. Catil. c. 51, Cic. in
Catil. 3, c. 4), practically by the Stoics, who taught that there is a
future existence of limited though indefinite length. -- DEDUCIT: cf. n. on
63. -- ATQUI: see n. on 6. -- TERTIUM ... POTEST: 'nothing can be found as
a third alternative': so in Tusc. 1, 82 _quoniam nihil tertium est._

67. QUID TIMEAM etc.: so Tusc. 1, 25 _quo modo igitur aut cur mortem malum
tibi videri dicis? quae aut beatas nos efficiet, animis manentibus, aut non
miseros, sensu carentis;_ ib. 1, 118 _ut aut in aeternam domum remigremus
aut omni sensu careamus._ For mood see A. 268; G. 251; H 486, II. -- AUT
NON MISER ... AUT BEATUS: a dilemma, but unsound and not conclusive; for
_non miser_ is used with reference to annihilation, and the soul may exist
after death in a state of unhappiness. -- FUTURUS SUM: see n. on 6 _futurum
est_. -- QUAMVIS SIT: prose writers of the Republican period use _quamvis_
