Context | Augustus' final day of life: asks his friends whether he has "mimum vitae commode transegisse"; ends with these lines |
Comments | Described by Suetonius as a "clausulam" (translated as a 'tag'). Gelsomino (see p.124) describes this as a citation: style, however, is clear and colloquial with clever appropriation of words. Concepts and vocabulary are Stoic. Kaster 2016b: 129 "This is by some distance the most troubled passage of Greek in the Caesars". |
