Excerpt from The Germania, Agricola, and Dialogus De Oratoribus of Tacitus: With Explanatory Notes The principal works of Tacitus were composed towards the close of the first century or in the beginning of the second, and as language has its periods of growth and decay, his phraseology sometimes differs from that of the Augustan age. The Dialogue was one of his earlier works, and in the greater ease and sprightliness of its structure still shows the influence of the Ciceronian style. Attention is called in the Notes to the leading departures from golden usage. The manuscripts of Tacitus exhibit great variety in their orthography, and show, not how Tacitus, but how his transcribers spelled. While, therefore, wide depart ures from established usage were avoided, a strictly uni form orthography was not considered desirable. Geographical, historical, and biographical information has been freely given, especially where such information seemed necessary for the elucidation of the text.
