Description: This article discusses the textual crux, indicated by editors since Mad- vig, in Cicero's De finibus, iii 15, in connection with the MSS. reading non videbantur which makes no sense. Madvig's own proposed emendations require either the assumption of a lacuna before these words, or changing them into ridebantur, an attitude for which we have no evidence. On the basis of Cicero's own use of expressions like invenire verba (e.g. de fin. ii 13, iii 2-4, 5; tusc. disp. i 14, 62), I propose to emend non videbantur to inveniebantur.
