And he played the part well while many persons asked him numbers of questions: when, however, Pertinax enquired of him something about Grecian affairs, with which the real Sextus had been well acquainted, he suffered the greatest embarrassment, not being able even to understand what was said.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
