"Te colui Virtutem."

By E.

Who is the author of the line— "Te colui virtutem ut rem ast tu nomen inane es?" It is a translation of part of a Greek tragic fragment, quoted, according to Dio Cassius, by Brutus just before his death. As much as is here translated is also to be found in Plutarch *De Superstitione*.
