Diomedes, iii., p. 486, ed. Putsch.

A catapult was an instrument for throwing arrows to a considerable distance. The arrows were called Tormenta, not from the torment they inflicted, but from torqueo, to twist, because they were made of twisted hair, and perhaps the sight of them was calculated to give a turn to the enemy.
63
"The day shall come when Ilium's self shall fall,
With Priam and his strong-spear'd people all." —Iliad, vi. 446.
64
Macrobius, Saturnal., lib. ii., c. 1.
65
Plut., Tib. Gracch.
66
Plutarch implies that it was so; but Cicero relates anecdotes showing the fact to have been otherwise.
67
The following question and answer, uttered in a Court of Law on a modern trial, are well known: —
Counsel. "What do you mean by respectable?"
Witness. "He keeps a gig."
68
Sallust, Jugurthine War, c. vi.
69

"De rebus Mithridaticis."
71
As quoted by Plutarch, in Sulla, c. 28.
72
Vide the account given by Appian, c. 102.
73
Plutarch in Sulla, c. 38.
74
Mithridates, Ponticus Rex, vir neque silendus, neque dicendus sine curâ. Vell. Paterc., lib. ii., c. 18.
75
Those who doubt the accuracy of this description, may consult Plutarch's "Life of Crassus."
76
This story of the mattress, though gravely told, is somewhat doubtful, and is hardly worth the straw involved in it.
