71 Is it because bulls, horses, asses, men, all wax wanton through stuffing and gorging? So SophoclesNauck, Trag. Graec. Frag. p. 311, Sophocles, Frag. 764; or Pearson, no. 848; Cf. Aeschylus, Agamemnon, 1640-1641; Menander, Hero, 16-17 (p. 291 ed. Allinson in L.C.L.). has somewhere written, You prance, as does a colt, from glut of food, For both your belly and your cheeks are full. Wherefore also the Romans used to say that Marcus Crassus Cf. Life of Crassus, chap. vii. (547 c); Horace, Satires, i. 4. 34 faenum habet in cornu; longe fuge! had hay on his horn: for those who heckled the other chief men in the State were on their guard against assailing him, since they knew that he was vindictive and hard to cope with. Later, however, another saying was bandied about, that Caesar had pulled the hay from Crassus: for Caesar was the first to oppose Crassus in public policy and to treat him with contumely.

72 Why did they think that the priests that take omens from birds, whom they formerly called Auspices, but now Augures, should always keep their lanterns open and put no cover on them?

72 Were they like the Pythagoreans, Cf. 290 e, infra, and the notes on Moralia, 12 d-e (Vol. I. p. 58). who made small matters symbols of great, forbidding men to sit on a peck measure or to poke a fire with a sword: and even so did the men of old make use of many riddles, especially with reference to priests: and is the question of the lantern of this sort? For the lantern is like the body which encompasses the soul; the soul within is a light Cf.Moralia, 1130 b. and the part of it that comprehends and thinks should be ever open and clear-sighted, and should never be closed nor remain unseen.
