The notion of Cato lending
his wife would have been as inconsistent with legal principle and
morality in Rome as such a transaction would be in England.]
[Footnote 694: Compare the Life of Caesar, c. 8.]
[Footnote 695: Pompeius was now in Asia. See the Life of Pompeius, c.
42, 43.]
[Footnote 696: Castor and Pollux. See the Life of Tiberius Gracchus,
c. 2. The temple was on the south side of the Forum Romanum. The steps
are those which led to the Rostra.]
[Footnote 697: This is the translation of the reading [Greek:
oikothen] , which is probably incorrect. Solanus proposes [Greek:
autothen], and Kaltwasser proposes [Greek: apothen] , "from a
distance," which he has adopted in his version, "und liess die
bewaffneten, die _von fern_ standen, mit furchbarem Geschre*
anruecken."]
[Footnote 698: Lucullus returned B.C. 66. He triumphed B.C. 63. See
the Life of Lucullus, c. 37. Plutarch has here confused the order of
events. Kaltwasser translates this passage as if Lucullus had returned
to Rome after Metellus left it in B.C. 62.]
[Footnote 699: He returned B.C. 62. The consuls who were elected for
the year B.C. 61, were M. Pupius Piso, who had been a legatus of
Pompeius in Asia, and M. Valerius Messalla. See the Life of Pompeius,
c. 44.]
[Footnote 700: Probably Munatius Rufus, who is mentioned again in c.
36. Drumann (_Porcii_, p. 162) says it was Munatius Plancus.
