The jurists are right, then, in applying to proprietors this passage from the Scriptures,--_Ego dixi: Dii estis et filii Excelsi omnes_,--"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High." PROPERTY IS THE RIGHT OF INCREASE.

Caenabis bene, mi Fabulle, apud me Paucis, si dii tibi favent, diebus; Si tecum attuleris bonam atque magnam Caenam, non sine candida puella, Et vino, et sale, et omnibus cachinnis.

Take, for example, the word Dii Philos; in order to convert this from a sentence into a noun, we omit one of the iotas and sound the middle syllable grave instead of acute; as, on the other hand, letters are sometimes inserted in words instead of being omitted, and the acute takes the place of the grave.

And in this sense are those words of Virgil to be taken— “_Non me tua turbida virtus_ _Terret_, _ait_; _dii me terrent_, _et Jupiter hostis_.” I doubt not but the adverb _solum_ is to be understood (“It is not your valour only that gives me this concernment, but I find also by this portent that Jupiter is my enemy”); for Turnus fled before, when his first sword was broken, till his sister supplied him with a better, which indeed he could not use because Æneas kept him at a distance with his spear.
