IF our sons, Fuscinus, grow in vice as they grow in years, the fault is too often to be charged on a father's example (1--106). True as this is universally, it is most true of avarice; this vice alone is inculcated as a virtue: yet, if parents would but suffer things to take their course, this also would soon spring up of itself, and alarm by its growth those who now blindly and suicidally foster it (107-331).

Cf. Sen. de ira II 21 § 9 pertinebit ad rem, praeceptores paedagogosque pueris placidos dari. proximis adplicatur omne quod tenerum est et in eorum similitudinem crescit. nutricum et paedagogorum rettulere mox in adulescentiam mores. § 10 apud Platonem educatus puer cum ad parentes relatus vociferantem videret patrem, 'numquam' inquit 'hoc apud Platonem vidi.' non dubito quin citius patrem imitatus sit quam Platonem. § 11 tenuis ante omnia victus et non pretiosa vestis et similis cultus cum aequalibus: non irascetur aliquem sibi conparari quem ab initio multis parem feceris. ib. 18 § 2 educatio maximam diligentiam plurimumque profuturam desiderat. facile est enim teneros adhuc animos componere, difficulter reciduntur vitia, quae nobiscum creverunt. Quintil. 2 §6 utinam liberorum nostrorum mores non ipsi perderemus! infantiam statim deliciis solvimus. mollis illa educatio, quam indulgentiam vocamus, nervos omnes mentis et corporis frangit. quid non adultus concupiscet, qui in purpuris repit? nondum prima verba exprimit, iam coccum intellegit, iam conchylium poscit. § 7 ante palatum eorum quam os instituimus. in lecticis crescunt: si terram attigerunt, e manibus utrimque sustinentium pendent. gaudemus, si quid licentius dixerint: verba ne Alexandrinis quidem permittenda deliciis risu et osculo excipimus. nec mirum: nos docuimus, ex nobis audierunt. § 8 nostras amicas, nostros concubinos vident, omne convivium obscenis canticis strepit, pudenda dictu spectantur. fit ex his consuetudo, inde natura. discunt haec miseri antequam sciant vitia esse: inde soluti ac fluentes non accipiunt e scholis mala ista, sed in scholas adferunt. Plut. pueror. educ. 20 πρὸ πάντων γὰρ δεῖ τοὺς πατέρας τῷ μηδὲν ἁμαρτάνειν, ἀλλὰ πάντα, ἃ δεῖ, πράττειν, ἐναργὲς ἑαυτοὺς παράδειγμα τοῖς τέκνοις παρέχειν, ἵνα πρὸς τὸν τούτων βίον ὥσπερ κάτοπτρον ἀποβλέποντες ἀποτρέπωνται τῶν αἰσχρῶν ἔργων καὶ λόγων. ὡς οἵτινες, τοῖς ἁμαρτάνουσιν υἱοῖς ἐπιτιμώντες, τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἁμαρτήμασι περιπίπτουσιν, ἐπὶ τῷ ἐκείνων ὀνόματι λανθάνουσιν ἑαυτῶν κατήγοροι γιγνόμενοι. οἱ δ ̓ ὅλως φαύλως ζῶντες οὐδὲ τοῖς δούλοις παρρησίαν

ἄγουσιν ἐπιτιμᾶν, μήτοι γε δὴ τοῖς υἱοῖς. χωρὶς δὲ τούτων γένοιντο ἂν αὐτοῖς τῶν ἀδικημάτων σύμβουλοι καὶ διδάσκαλοι.

1-85 Children learn vice from their parents: the children of the gambler (4-5) the epicure (7-14) the cruel master (15-24) or the false wife (25-30) will with rare exceptions (31-37) follow in their parents' steps. If nothing else can deter men from vice, yet reverence for the young should (38-49): if a son errs, his father corrects his fault; yet with what face can he do so, while he himself is worse of the two (48-58)? Our houses are swept and put in trim when a guest is looked for; we are content that our sons see them stained with vice (59-69). All depends on early training; the stork, vulture, eagle, when full fledged, seek no other prey than such as they first fed on in the nest (70-85). 1 PLURIMA SUNT.. QUAE V 130. 2 FIGENTIA So, of

Porphyr, on Hor. s. 11 7 17 makes the fritillus the same as the phimus or pyrgus: so Becker Gallus III 254: schol. h. 1. distinguishes the phimus from the pyrgus, and is doubtful with which to identify the fritillus 'FRITILLO, pyxide cornea, qui puòs dicitur Graece: fritinnire aves dicuntur [id est] strepere aut sonare: apud antiquos nam in cornu mittebant tesseras moventesque fundebant: aut fritillum pyrgum dixit.' The pyrgus (anthol. Lat. 193 R. Sid. ep. VIII 12 tessera frequens eboratis pyrgorum resultatura gradibus) and turricula (Mart. xiv 16) had indentations on the inside; whether the fritillus had, does not appear from the quotations in Salmas. ad Vopisc.
