II. a. At ex hoc ipso crimen exoritur. Ait enim, Gabinio quum pecuniam Postumus cogeret ex decumis imperatorum, pecuniam sibi coegisse. Non intelligo, hoc quale sit: utrum accessionem decumæ, ut nostri facere coactores solent centesimæ, an decessionem de summa facerit: si accessionem, undecim millia talentum ad Gabinium pervenerunt. At non modo abs te decem millia objecta sunt, sed etiam ab his æstimata. Addo illud etiam: qui tandem convenit, aut tam gravi onere tributorum ad tantam pecuniam cogendam mille talentum accessionem esse factam, aut, in tanta mercede hominis, ut vis, avarissimi, mille talentum decessionem esse concessam? Neque enim fuit Gabinii, remittere tantum de suo: nec regis, imponere tanto plus suis. Aderunt testes, legati Alexandrini. Hi nihil in Gabinium dixerunt. Immo hi Gabinium laudaverunt. Ubi ergo ille mos? ubi consuetudo judiciorum? ubi exempla? Soletne is dicere in eum, qui pecuniam redegit, qui in illum, cujus nomine ea pecunia redigeretur, non dixerit? Age, si is, qui non dixit, solet: etiamne is solet, qui laudavit? iisdem testibus, et quidem non productis, sed dictis testium recitatis, quasi præjudicata res ad has caussas deferri solet.PRO RABIRIO POSTUMO. b.

Imperat Agyrinensibus, ut decumas ipsi publice accipiant : Apronio lucrum dent. Si magno emerat, quoniam tu es, qui pretium diligentissime exquisisti, qui, ut ais, magno vendidisti: quare putabas emptori lucrum addi oportere? Esto; putabas. Quamobrem imperabas, ut adderent? Quid est aliud, capere et conciliare pecunias, in quo te lex tenet, si hoc non est vi atque imperio cogere invitos lucrum dare alteri, hoc est, pecuniam dare? Age, quid tum? Si Apronio, deliciis prætoris, lucelli aliquid jussi sunt dare, putate Apronio datum, si Apronianum lucellum ac non prætoria præda vobis videbitur.

Translate the following passage into Latin Prose : : In his personal habits and demeanour Augustus carefully distinguished between the Imperator and the Princeps. He protected his personal dignity by withdrawing from the indecent familiarity with which Julius Cæsar had allowed himself to address his legionaries. The conqueror of the Gauls had deigned to call the instruments of his victories by the name of "fellow-soldiers;" but Augustus, whether in his edicts or his harangues, never spoke of them but as his "soldiers" only. At a later period he forbade the princes of his family to employ any other term than this in communication with them; a prohibition in which there was a little pride, and perhaps also a little jealousy. At the same time, however, as the Prince of the Senate and the people, he did not fail studiously to disguise all consciousness of his deserts, and shrank from the appearance of claiming the honours due to him. Amidst the magnificence displayed around him, which he chose to encourage in his nobles, his own manners were remarkable for their simplicity, and were regulated, not by his actual pre-eminence, but by the position he affected to occupy, of a modest patrician.-MERI VALE.

Translate the following passage into Greek Prose : Miltiades, multum in imperiis magistratibusque versatus, non videbatur posse esse privatus, præsertim quum consuetudine ad imperii cupiditatem trahi videretur. Nam Chersonesi omnes illos quos habitarat annos perpetuam obtinuerat dominationem, tyrannusque fuerat appellatus, sed justus. Non erat enim vi consecutus, sed suorum voluntate, eamque potestatem bonitate retinuerat. Omnes autem et habentur et dicuntur tyranni, qui potestate sunt perpetua in ea civitate, quæ libertate usa est. Sed in Miltiade erat cum summa humanitas, tum mira comitas, ut nemo tam humilis esset, cui non ad eum aditus pateret: magna auctoritas apud omnes civitates, nobile nomen, laus rei militaris maxima.
