But whereas the latter is the reported form of

Non temperaturi sumus, si evaserit ;

the former is the reported form of

Emendaturus (eram or fui), si non essem.

On the use of the indicative in the apodosis in such cases, see above Text § 152 and notes 220 and 336. See also below note 346.

345. ἐποίει : of

statuaries;

345. 1. The modest usage of painters and statuaries, to which Pliny refers, is acknowledged in the lately discovered painters and Herodas iv. 21 τίς ἦ ῥα τὴν λίθον ταύτην | τέκτων ἐποίει καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ στήσας ;

Pliny, however, mentions at least three exceptions to the general rule in such matters.

2. Similarly Aristophanes, speaking of a poem, says (Nub. and poets. 1056) εἰ γὰρ πονηρὸν ἦν, Ὅμηρος οὐδέποτ ̓ ἂν ἐποίει | τὸν Νέστορ ἀγορητὴν ἂν οὐδὲ τοὺς σοφοὺς ἅπαντας.

346. These two passages, and also that from xxi. 34, which 346. Livy xxiv. follows the second of them in the Text, are cited by Mr. Key in 26; xxi. 34. his Latin Dictionary s.v. Sum 45, and he appends to his citation of them the remark that in them "fuit and fuerunt would have been required in or. dir."; adding "Cicero in this construction has erat rather than fuit, as in Verr. 2. 3. 121."

This reference to the Verres is wrong.

:

It should probably

be Verr. ii. iii. 52. 121, being the passage quoted in the Text § 176. (a).

On the use of the indicative in such cases see above note 344, and the references there given.

347. The reported form of excitatura fuit. See note 346 and references.

349. Cf. Plin. Epp. ix. 25 lusus et ineptias nostras legis, amas, flagitas, meque ad similia condenda non mediocriter

348.

incitas... Aliquid earundem Camenarum in istum benignissimum sinum mittam. Tu passerculis et columbulis nostris inter aquilas vestras dabis pennas, si tamen et sibi et tibi placebunt: si tantum sibi, continendos cavea nidove curabis.
