Note 30 — A. PERSIUS FLACCUS

ad populum phaleras: ‘The phalerae included all the trappings of the horse and rider. They were on occasion much ornamented with metal, and Polybius (6, 23) says that they were given as rewards of merit to cavalry soldiers’ (Pretor, after Jahn). ‘To the mob with your trappings, your stars and garters.’—intus et in cute: ‘inside and out;’ a rough equivalent. In cute (Gr. ἐν χρᾦ) means ‘closely’ (‘to a dot, a T’). See Lexx. s.v. χρῶς.
