Footnote 25:
In several manuscripts, there is here only a very short reference to
the Fasti Prænestini; but as these do not contain the month of August,
I conjecture that the _Kalendarium Amiterninum_ is meant (Orellii II,
p. 397), where it is stated, _Feriæ ex S. C. Q(uod) E(o) D(ie) Cæsar
Divi F. Rempublic(am) tristissim ... periculo liberat_.—Germ. Ed.

Footnote 30:
Here there seems to be some mistake. The passage of Quintilian, X, 1,
115, runs as follows, _Inveni qui Calvum præferrent omnibus, inveni
qui Ciceroni crederent, eum nimia contra se calumnia verum sanguinem
perdidisse: sed est et sancta et gravis oratio et custodita et
frequenter vehemens quoque_. On the other hand, in the _Dial. de
Orat._ c. 18. _Sunt enim (antiqui) horridi et impoliti et rudes, et
informes et quos utinam nulla parte imitatus esset Calvus vester, aut
Cælius, aut ipse Cicero!_ And _Legistis utique et Calvi et Bruti ad
Ciceronem missas epistolas, ex quibus facile est deprehendere, Calvum
quidem Ciceroni visum exsanguem et attritum—rursumque Ciceronem e
Calvo quidem male audivisse tanquam solutum et enervem_. In those
writings of Cicero which are still extant, there occur two larger
passages, _Brut._ c. 82, _Epist. ad Famil._ XV, 21, 5, where Calvus
indeed is judged with great leniency, but is certainly not spoken of
with unqualified praise.—Germ. Ed.
