| Context | Cicero is organising his library and requests help from Atticus. |
| Comments | Greek term for 'book labels'; self-conscious code-switch: "quos vos Graeci, ut opinor…appellatis". Cf. 79 (IV.8.2) and 80 (IV.5.3) where the word is Latinised. Shackleton Bailey: "Cicero would hardly have Latinized here, with vos Graeci appellatis, but might well do so in the other two passages". Tyrrell prints sillabos. |
