Descrizione: In this study I shall discuss some general problems concerning the general nature of the remarks made by Cicero himself, in various places in his philosophical and rhetorical works, about his translation of a Greek term into Latin. We have over two hundred such remarks scattered throughout these writings. Some of them are brief and give us only the bare facts about the Latin word and its Greek original – e.g. Luc. 54, 'ea dico incerta quae ἄδηλα Graeci'. Some are longer, explaining the various ways of rendering a Greek term into Latin, and the reasons for Cicero's preference for this or that Latin term. Some of these remarks appear as part of a more general discussion of how one should translate Greek words for abstract concepts. The Appendix to this article is, to the best of my knowledge, the second complete collection of all such Greek-into-Latin remarks in Cicero's philosophical and rhetorical works
