Note 319 — LIFE OF LUCULLUS.

I should have translated the Greek word ( δικολόγος) "orator." Jurist in Plutarch is νομοδείκτης (Plutarch, Tib. Gracchus, c. 9) or νομικός. Quintus Hortensius Ortalus, the orator, was a friend and rival of Cicero, who often speaks of him. He began his career as a pleader in the courts at the age of nineteen, and continued his practice for forty-four years. (Brutus, c. 64, and the note in H. Meyer's edition.)
