Extract

Contr. I. The characters of this declamation are two brothers, at deadly enmity with each other, and the son of one of them, who, when his uncle is reduced to beggary, supports him in spite of his father′s prohibition. Disowned by the latter, he is adopted by his uncle, who presently grows rich—at the very moment when his brother loses everything. The young man again reveals his tender-heartedness, supports the unfortunate man in the face of his adopted father′s orders, and is once more disowned. He pleads his case before a jury.

References

page 22 note 1 The MSS. ‘ matrem,’ but as there is absolutely not a word about the girl′s mother in either lemma or declamation I regard Thomas′s emendation as certain.

page 23 note 1 Whether ei or mihi or mea is really needed as well I think uncertain. The pronouns are omitted very boldly at times in these declamations.
