Page 27 - Helenae semper auctores fuerunt, 2 omne ius belli Achivos abstinuisse ; casibus deinde variis Antenorem cum multitudine Enetum, qui seditione ex Paphlagonia pulsi et sedes et ducem rege Pylaemene ad Troiam amisso quaerebant, 3 venisse in intimum maris Hadriatici sinum, Euganeisque, qui inter mare Alpesque incolebant, pulsis, Enetos Troianosque eas tenuisse terras.
Page 24 - Hoc illud est praecipue in cognitione rerum salubre ac frugiferum, omnis te exempli documenta in inlustri posita monumento intueri; inde tibi tuaeque rei publicae, quod imitere, capias, inde foedum inceptu, foedum exitu, quod vites.

Page 340 - ... quodcumque ageret: in bello manu fortissimus multisque insignibus clarus pugnis; idem, postquam ad magnos honores pervenit, summus imperator; idem in pace, si ius consuleres, peritissimus, si causa oranda esset, eloquentissimus nee is tantum, cuius lingua vivo eo viguerit, monumentum eloquentiae nullum exstet, vivit immo vigetque eloquentia eius sacrata scriptis omnis generis.
