FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote 653: Cato was a cognomen of the Porcia Gens, which was
Plebeian. The name Cato was first given to M. Porcius Cato Censorius,
who was consul B.C. 195 and censor B.C. 184. The father of the Cato
whose life is here written was M. Porcius Cato, a Tribunus Plebis, who
married Livia, a sister of the tribune M. Livius Drusus. This Cato,
the tribune, was the son of M. Porcius Cato Salonianus, who was the
son of Cato the Censor. Cato the Censor was therefore the
great-grandfather of the Cato whose life is here written. See the
_Life of Cato the Censor_ by Plutarch, c. 24. 97. This Cato was born
B.C. 95.]
[Footnote 654: The text of Plutarch says that Livius Drusus was the
uncle of Cato's mother, but this is a mistake, and accordingly
Xylander proposed to read [Greek: theio men onti pros tes metros]. But
Sintenis supposes that Plutarch may have misunderstood the Roman
expression "avunculus maternus." Cato's father had by his wife Livia a
daughter Porcia, who married J. Domitius Ahenobarbus. Livia's second
husband was Q. Servilius Caepio, by whom she had a son Q. Servilius
Caepio, whom Plutarch calls Cato's brother, and two daughters, named
Servilia, one of whom married M. Junius Brutus, the father of the
Brutus who was one of Caesar's assassins, and the other married L.
Licinius Lucullus (Life of Lucullus. c. 38).]
[Footnote 655: The word is [Greek: anamnestikous].
