| Feb 29, 2016 at 4:46 | comment | added | cmw♦ | However, in Brutus 54, Cicero writes ne L. Valerium quidem Potitum. While the praenomen and nomen are between ne...quidem, the cognomen is outside. Yet further down at 269, he write Ne T. quidem Postumius. | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 4:43 | comment | added | cmw♦ | There is some room for both, I believe. Generally, if they are close together, they belong together between ne...*quidem*. For example, in De Lege Agraria II.78 Cicero writes ne per Corneliam quidem, and in fact we almost never see quidem intervening between a preposition and the noun it goes with. | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 4:21 | comment | added | Joel Derfner | Wait—do you mean that it should be "nē Mārcus Aurēlius quidem," or just that for what it's worth you can't say "nē quidem Mārcus Aurēlius"? | |
| Feb 29, 2016 at 4:20 | comment | added | cmw♦ | It should be noted that the third one has to have ne prior to the word it is emphasizing. You have that correctly placed in your translation, but it's essential to the construction. | |
