63. #pingitur#: +Hermês kerdôos+, 'with money-bag in hand.' Comp. Ar.,
Ach., 991, 992: +pôs an eme kai se tis Erôs xunagagoi labôn, | hôsper ho
#gegrammenos#, echôn stephanon anthemôn+. --#vin tu gaudere relictis#:
_Gaudere_ here almost = +agapan+, 'be thankful for whatever I shall
leave you.' According to the ordinary rules of grammar, _vis_ would be
the rhetorical, _vin_ the genuine form of the question (G., 455), but
_ne_ can not be pinned down by strict rules, as has been remarked. See
note on 1, 22.
64. #dest aliquid summae#: may be an objection of the heir, or an
anticipated objection. Persius often reminds us of Mrs. Caudle. --#minui
mihi#: It was mine, and I diminished it to suit myself. It was mine to
lessen; what is left will be all your own to keep.
