[Footnote 281: Fortuna occurs many times, as in the so-called sententiae Varronis printed at the end of Riese's edition of the fragments of Varro's Menippean satires. This is characteristic of the period.]

[Footnote 312: Wallon (_Hist. de l'Esclavage_, ii. p. 38) has noted that Virgil alone shows a feeling of tenderness for the lot of the captive, quoting _Aen_. iii. 320 foll. (the speech of Andromache): but this was for the fate of a princess, and a mythical princess. No Latin poet of that age shows any real sympathy with captives or with slaves.]
