ENDNOTES

1 Epistles, p. 364, Kayser.

2 We have only one letter of his, and it certainly is not prolix, for it consists of but one word, ἐμάνης, addressed to Avidius Cassius when he revolted.

3 Vit. Mar. xxii. 6; xxix. 6; cp. xxiii. 7, 9.

4 See i. p. 185.

5 e.g. those which are addressed to “My dearest Piso,” “My dearest Saxa,” etc. Digest, xlviii. 18, 1, §27; ibid. xxix. 5, 3, etc.

6 Digest, ii. 16, 3.

7 Just. Inst. iii. 11.

8 Digest, xl. 5, 37.

9 Augustine, de Adult. ii. 8.

10 An inscription found at Ephesus dated 164 A.D. See Oesterr. Archäol. Instit. 1913, ii. 121.

11 Boeckh, Inscr. Graec. i. 1319; Kaibel, ibid. iii. 39a; iv. 363; v. 446. Aegypt. Urkunden. i. 74; Griech. Urkunden (Fayum) i. 74.

12 Kaibel, Greek Insc. iv. 1534, Phrynichus 98, AB 32.

13 Ad Ver. ii. 3.

14 Ad Amicos, i. 6.

15 Dio, lxxi. 24.

16 Vulcatius Gallicanus, Vit. Avid. Cass. 14.

17 Contrary to fact; see Herodian, i. 4, § 2, and Dio, quoted above.

18 Bassaeus Rufus is meant. He was praef. praet. 168–177.

19 But see Dio, lxxi. 3. 3.

20 For the whole question of the authenticity of these letters see Czwalina, De Epistularum quae a scriptoribus historiae Augustaeae proferuntur fide.

21 See i. p. 139.

22 This inscription is on a stone, found at Smyrna, recording the minutes of a guild-meeting of the mystae (initiated), who met in the temple of Dionysus Briseus at Smyrna.

23 Titus Aelius Antoninus, to whom there is an inscription in the Exhedra of Herodes at Olympia; see Dessau, ii. 8803. There is a difficulty about the birth of this son, as Capit. Vit. Marci, vi. 6, says that Marcus received the Trib. Pot. on the birth of a daughter, and yet we know he received it in 147 The daughter was born in 146.

24 For these see Marcus Antoninus in the Loeb series, pp. 366 ff.

25 See Aul. Gellius. i. 2; xviii. 10.

26 See reference in note 3, p. 295.

27 At Halalae in Asia Minor, during the winter of 175–6.

28 At Athens.

29 With Cassius, or more likely perhaps the Marcomannic war He may be referring to the so-called “miraculous victory” in 174.

30 The great earthquake, when Marcus practically rebuilt the city, was probably in 178 A.D. See Aristides, Μονωδία ἐπὶ Σμύρνη and Παλινωδία ἐπι Σ.

31 The Acta of Abercius (Migne’s Patrol. Graec. cxv. p. 1211) state that the bishop reached Rome while Marcus was away fighting the barbarians. He was taken to the Praefectus Cornelianus and to Faustina, and cured Lucilla, who was then sixteen (which would be in 164 A.D.), by casting out a devil from her. As a reward he asked for a bath to be made for the hot-springs at Hieropolis, and that 3,000 bushels of corn should be given yearly to that his native city. The epitaph of the bishop has been recovered, and states that he visited Rome and saw βασιλῆα[ν] καὶ βασίλισσαν. He is said to have cured Publio’s mother of blindness.

32 Marcus in his Thoughts professes disbelief in exorcism (i. 6). This is only one proof out of many that this letter is a Christian forgery.
