and held them chiefly to blame for the Romans overpassing the limits. Then they expelled
the noblest citizens of Thurii, sacked the city, and dismissed the Roman garrison under a
flag of truce. (H. White.)

The name of Italy was given to all that promontory of Europe lying between the
Gulfs of Skylletium and of Lametus, which are half a day’s journey apart. (H. Rackham).

A mill is bought near Suessa for 400 sesterces and fifty pounds of oil. The cost
of assembling is 60 sesterces, and the charge for transportation by oxen, with six days’
wages of six men, drivers included, is 72 sesterces. The bar complete costs 72
sesterces, and there is a charge of 25 sesterces for oil; the total cost is 629 sesterces. At
Pompeii one is bought complete for 384 sesterces, freight 280 sesterces. It is better to
assemble and adjust on the ground, and this will cost 60 sesterces, making a total cost
of 724 sesterces. If you are fitting old mills with stones, they should be 1 foot 3 fingers
thick at the centre and 1 foot in diameter, with a half-foot square opening; alter them to
fit the mill after they have been hauled. These can be bought at the yard of Rufrius for
180 sesterces, and fitted for 30 sesterces. The price is the same at Pompeii. (W.D.
Hooper).

Cic. Att. 9.19: os, quoniam superum mare obsidetur, infero navigabimus, et, si Puteolis
erit difficile, Crotonem petemus aut Thurios et boni cives amantes patriae mare infestum
habebimus.
As for me, since the Adriatic is beset, I shall sail by the lower sea, and, if it will be
difficult to start from Puteoli, I shall seek Croton or Thurii, and like a loyal and patriotic
citizen play the pirate. (E. O. Winstedt).
Cic. Att. 13.6.1: De aquae ductu probe fecisti. Columnarium vide ne nullum
debeamus; quamquam mihi videor audisse a Camillo commutatam esse legem.
You have done quite right about the aqueduct. Make sure whether I owe any
pillar-tax at all. However, I think I heard from Camillus that the law had been changed.
(E.O. Winstedt).
