[Footnote 175: The xii. tables and Cicero (pro Roscio
Amerino, c. 25, 26) are content with the sack; Seneca
(Excerpt. Controvers. v 4) adorns it with serpents; Juvenal
pities the guiltless monkey (innoxia simia - 156.) Adrian
(apud Dositheum Magistrum, l. iii. c. p. 874 - 876, with
Schulting's Note,) Modestinus, (Pandect. xlviii. tit. ix.
leg. 9,) Constantine, (Cod. l. ix. tit. xvii.,) and
Justinian, (Institut. l. iv. tit. xviii.,) enumerate all the
companions of the parricide. But this fanciful execution
was simplified in practice. Hodie tamen viv exuruntur vel
ad bestias dantur, (Paul. Sentent. Recept. l. v. tit. xxiv
p. 512, edit. Schulting.)]
