Subject: Re: 8.0385 Help with classical epithet?

Douglas de Lacey asks about the source of a quotation in Calvin:
`ineptum est culpam deprecari, qua potuerim carere, si voluissem'.

Calvin is alluding to a story Aulus Gellius (11.8) tells about
M. Cato's rebuke of Aulus Albinus, who asked pardon in advance for any
errors in Greek he may have made in a work on rebus Romanis: 'Ne tu,'
inquit 'Aule, nimium nugator es, cum maluisti culpam deprecari, quam
culpa uacare. Nam petere ueniam solemus, aut cum inprudentes
errauimus aut cum compulsi peccauimus. Tibi,' inquit 'oro te, quis
perpulit, ut id committeres, quod, priusquam faceres, peteres, ut
ignosceretur?'
