PROMETHEUS, as a type of antiquity. Iuven. 8, 133 tu licet a Pico numeres genus inter maiores ipsumque Promethea

ponas.

...

PROTEUS, p. 289. Thom. Cant. ep. 46 (M. 190, 506 D) rex... et versabilitate Protea vincit; Ioh. Sar. Polycrat. 7, 9 (M. 199, 654 C) lubricum et volubilem Protea miraberis redisse.

PULLUS. Paul. ex Fest. p. 245 (M.) pullus Iovis dicebatur Q. Fabius; compare Aristoph. Av. 835 "Apews veOTTÓS and see Crusius on Herond. p. 136; Blaydes on Aristoph. 1. c.; Macar. 2, 31; Apost. 4, 7.

PULVIS 2, p. 290. See Apost. 15, 19a ȧkoviтì Kpateîv.

[PULVIS 4. Ovid fast. 2, 360 inque suo noster pulvere currat equus, sounds proverbial; compare rem. am. 397 attrahe lora | fortius et gyro curre, poeta tuo.]

PULVIS 5, as a worthless substance. Fronto p. 211, 2 (Nab.) nihil serium potuisse fieri de fumo et pulvere; p. 228, 3 (Nab.) cum illa olim nugalia conscribsi, laudem fumi et pulveris; cf. Hor. od. 1, 28,

3.

PUMEX 3, p. 290. Eugipp. ep. ad Past. 3 quid tibi aquas expectare de silice.

PUNCTUM, p. 290. Petr. Dam. ep. 5, 3 (M. 144, 343 C) (tempus) id enim brevissimum, quod est velut in puncto, transcurrit; Leonidas of Tarentum, anthol. Pal. 7, 472, 3 rís poîpa (wîs vñoλeiñetaι ἢ ὅσον ὅσσον | στιγμὴ καὶ στιγμῆς εἴ τι χαμηλότερον.

noverca.

QUAESTUS, p. 293. See Macar. 6, 98 πάντ ̓ εἰς τὴν κερδαίνουσαν πήραν wei and Leutsch's note.

QUERCUS. Publil. Syr. 52 arbore deiecta, ligna quivis colligit; Macar. 3, 39 δρυὸς πεσούσης, πᾶς ἀνὴρ ξυλεύεται. Ps. -Publil. Syr. 136 (Fr.). The proverb may have been known to the Romans as it appears again in Italian; Ariosto, Orlando Furioso 37, 106, 3-4 com'è in proverbio, ognune corre a far legna | all' arbore che'l vento in terra getta.

QUIRE, p. 293. See Crusius, Herond. p. 175.

RADIX. Avit. Vienn. c. 2, 106 non facit vivum radix occisa cacumen sounds proverbial.

RANA, p. 294. The fable of the ox and the frog is also referred to by Alan. de Insul. (M. 210, 590 A).

RARUS I, p. 294. Zosim. pap. ep. 9, 1 (M. 20, 672 A) rarum est enim omne quod magnum est; Alcuin ep. 95 (M. 100).

RARUS 2. Alcuin ep. 58, (M. 100, 226 C) multi sunt in prosperitate amici, in adversitate rari; et eo cariores, quo rariores; ep. 89 (M. 100, 286 D) quanto rariores nunc temporis tales inveniri possunt, tanto cariores haberi debent; Petr. Ven. ep. 1, 5 (M. 189, 72 B) quanto carior, tanto rarior; compare Foliot. ep. 80 (M. 190, 801 B) virtus et scientia quanto rarior, eo pretiosior est; Mart. 4, 42, 6 pulchrior est, quanto rarior, iste color.

RASTRUM. Sidon. Apoll. c. 2, 529 a rastris ad rostra; compare Sen. ep. 51, 10 ad arma ab aratro; compare Apul. met. 10, 2 a socco ad cothurnum ascendere. Otto in his note, p. 326, denies any proverbial feeling in the citation from Apuleius. I am inclined to believe that these phrases, expressing a similar idea and both alliterative, may point to some expression of a proverbial character.

RATIO. Plaut. Trin. 419 ratio quidem hercle apparet: argentum oxera (cited by Cic. in Pis. 25, 61); Ter. Phorm. 299 non ratio, verum argentum deerat.

REGNUM 5. Alcuin ep. 129 (M. 100, 364 C) sicut in illo Platonico legitur proverbio dicentis: felicia esse regna, si philosophi, id est amatores sapientiae, regnarent vel reges philosophiae studerent; Boeth. consol. phil. 1, 4, 15 beatas fore res publicas, si eas vel studiosi sapientiae regerent vel earum rectores studere sapientiae contigisset; Prudent. c. Sym. 1, 31 publica res, inquit, tunc fortunata satis, si | vel reges saperent vel regnarent sapientes; Plato rep. 5, 473.

REMUS, p. 297. Ovid rem. am. 790 remis adice vela tuis; a. a. 1, 368 ancilla... | incitet, et velo remigis addat opem; ex Pont. 2, 6, 37 remo tamen utor in aura; see further Flor. 1, 18 (2, 2) 18; Mamert. grat. act. Iul. 8; Preuss, 1. c. p. 70.

REMUS, note p. 297. Hauschild p. 2991 considers that the passages quoted by Otto from Cic. Phil. I, 4, 9 and ad fam. 12, 25, 3 have reference to the proverbial phrase which appears in Cic. Tusc. 3, 11, 25 velis... remisque.

RES I, p. 297. Fronto ad Ant. Pium 8 p. 169, 2 (Nab.) res ipsa testis est (= Plaut. Aulul. 421); Claud. Mar. Vict. Aleth. 3, 596 res ipsa tacens loquitur; Cypr. ep. 36, 2, p. 574, 14 (H.) immo ut res ipsa loquitur et clamat; ep. ad Cypr. 30, 2 (M. 4, 313) ut res ipsa loquitur et clamat; Hier. adv. Rufin. 1, 8 (M. 23,

1 Act. Sem. Erlang. VI.

422 A): taces: ipsae res loquuntur; Phaedr. append, 22, 4 sed res clamabit ipsa; Gualbert. act. 115 (M. 148, 838 C) ut res ipsa ... declarat; compare Plaut. Epid. 713 quid est negoti? EP: iam ipsa res dicet tibi; Abaelard. ep. 1 (M. 178, 122 A) quod si ego tacerem, res ipsa clamat; Helois. ad Abael. ep. 2 (183 C) et si omnes taceant, res ipsa clamat. See ALL. 11, 568; Eustath. Il. 3, 35 αὐτὸ δείξει;' Koch, p. 58.

RES 4, p. 298. Ter. Eun. 166 relictis rebus omnibus; Plaut. Stich. 362 immo res omnis relictas habeo prae quod tu velis; Lent. ap Cic. ad fam. 12, 14, 1; Caesar bell. Gall. 7, 34, I omnibus omissis rebus; bell. civ. 3, 102, 1; Cic. Balb. 3, 6; de or. 3, 14, 51; Hor. ep. 1, 5, 30 rebus omissis; Sen. d. 2, 3, 2 omnibus relictis negotiis; n. q. 6, 32, 12 omnibus omissis; ep. 5, 1; d. 10, 7, 4 relictis omnibus impedimentis; Fronto p. 4, 4 (Nab.) abruptis omnibus cursu concito pervolo; Lactant. inst. I, 4, 6 derelictis omnibus; Claud. Mam. p. 48, 5 (Engel.) omissis omnibus.

[RES 5. Plaut. Rud. 1148 tua res agitur; Hor. ep. 1, 18, 84 nam tua res agitur; Ioh. Saris. vit. S. Anselm. 12 (M. 199, 1030 D); Sen. apoc. 9 mea res agitur; d. 6, 6, 1 tuum illic, Marcia, negotium actum; compare Pers. 3, 20 tibi luditur. The expression, like relictis rebus, is quasi-proverbial.]

RETE I, p. 299. Licent. ad Augustin. ep. 26 (M. 33, 105)

animis molitur retia nobis.

RETE 3. Ovid rem. am. 516 quae nimis apparent retia, vitat avis, sounds proverbial to Hartung, p. 16.

REX I, p. 299. Plaut. Rud. 931 apud reges rex perhibeor; Capt. 825 non ego nunc parasitus sum, sed regum rex regalior. REX 9. Kings are proverbially rich as well as happy. Tibull. I, 8, 34 et regum magnae despiciantur opes; 2, 3, 24; Sen. ben. I, 7, I qui regum aequavit opes animo; clem. 1, 26, 2 regiis opibus.

ROSA I, p. 302. Alcuin ep. 117 (M. 100, 351 C; comp. ep. 147, ibid.) rosa inter spinas nata gratiam habere dignoscitur; Petr. Chrys. serm. 49 (M. 52, 338 C) sicut in spinis rosa; compare Ovid a. a. 2, 116 et riget amissa spina relicta rosa; Damas. pap. (M. 13, 416 B) si vis tu spinas sumere, sume rosas. For similar proverbs in Greek see Schmidt, p. 121; anthol. Pal. 11, 53 to ῥόδον ἀκμάζει βαιὸν χρόνον· ἦν δὲ παρέλθῃ | ζητῶν εὑρήσεις οὐ ῥόδον, ἀλλὰ βάτον.

Sen. d. 7, 11, 4 vide eosdem in suggestu rosae despectantis popinam suam; ep. 82, 3 aeque qui in odoribus. iacet mortuus est quam qui rapitur unco; eleg. ad Maec. 1, 94 victor odorata dormiat neque rosa; compare sen. d. 4, 25, 2 questus est quod foliis rosae duplicatis incubuisset; similarly with pluma; Vict. Vit. 1, 43 p. 19, 11 (Petsch.) dormire quasi super lectum plumis stratum omnibus videbatur; Sen. d. 1, 3, 10 tam vigilabat in pluma quam ille in cruce; Cypr. ep. 1, 218 (M. 4, 222) vigilat in pluma; Alan. de Insul. lib. parab. 4 (M. 210, 589 C) qui iacet in plumis; append. prov. 3, 54 κύων ἐν ῥόδοις: ἐπὶ τῶν μὴ αἰσθανομένων ἐν μεγάλοις ὄντων.

ROSA 3. Pers. 2, 38 quicquid calcaverit hic, rosa fiat, (see Jahn's note); Ovid ex Pont. 2, 1, 35 quaque ierit ... | saxaque roratis erubuisse rosis; Claud. 29, 90 (Jeep) quacumque per herbam | reptares, fluxere rosae; the opposite of Saufinius, Petron. 44 is quacunque ibat, terram adurebat, or of Invidia, Ovid m. 2, 792 quacumque ingreditur, florentia proterit arva, exuritque herbas. ROSA 4. Ovid am. 3, 7, 66 hesterna languidiora rosa, is perhaps proverbial. ROSA 5. Ovid rem. am. 46 et urticae proxima saepe rosast; Alan. de Insul. lib. parab. (M. 210, 582 A) fragrantes vicina rosas urtica perurit; compare ex Pont. 4, 4, 4 mixta fere duris utilis herba rubis; compare ROSA I, and MEL 3.
