THE OFFICE OF CENSOR IN THE LIGHT OF THE NOCTES ATTICAE BY AULUS GELLIUS Summary The aim of the article is to analyse the passages in Aulus Gellius’ Noctes Atticae on the office of censor. This magistracy seems to have interested Gellius for various reasons: linguistic matters concerning the meaning of archaic words, but also things inspired by the books Gellius had read and where he found some amusing anecdotes which he decided to record. He treated the censors’ office as one of the most important Roman magistracies, and described the censors’ power to conduct auspices, issue edicts, deliver speeches, control morals, conduct the census, make the list of senators and equites, and mete out punishment with the issue of the censorial note. However, he never mentioned the censors’ administrative powers such as the conclusion of public contracts and the supervision of public places. The Attic Nights are not arranged in a systematic order, but they are a priceless source of information on legal institutions such as the office of censor; Gellius has saved for us some direct quotations from otherwise lost works by Roman orators and jurists.

W niniejszym artykule omówiono treść dwudziestego szóstego rozdziału zawartego w drugiej księdze Nocy attyckich autorstwa Aulusa Gelliusza. Rozdział ten nie doczekał się jeszcze opracowania w języku polskim. Jednakże podjęta w nim kwestia rozważań na temat różnorodności kolorów i ich łacińskich oraz greckich nazw sprawiła, że wątek ten poddano badaniom pod kątem historyczno-filologicznym. Co ważne, Noce attyckie to bogaty materiał z różnych dziedzin, takich jak filozofia, etyka, literatura, gramatyka, etymologia, nawet krytyka tekstu, historia, retoryka i prawo. Tak więc jest to niezwykle cenne źródło wiedzy o antyku.

This publication presents the contents of Chapter 26 of Book II of Attic Nights by Aulus Gellius. This chapter has not been discussed yet in the Polish language. However, because of the issue of the variety of colours and their Latin and Greek names that the chapter explores, this thread has been studied from the historical and philological perspective. It should be remembered that Attic Nights contains a rich amount of material pertaining to various disciplines, such as philosophy, ethics, literature, grammar, etymology and even textual criticism, history, rhetoric and law. Therefore, it constitutes an extremely precious source of knowledge about antiquity.

Die vorliegende Publikation befasst sich mit dem Inhalt des 26. Kapitels im zweiten Buch der Noctes Atticae von Aulus Gellius. Dieses Kapitel erfuhr bisher keine Behandlung in polnischer Sprache. Da jedoch die in ihm enthaltene Fragestellung bezüglich der Verschiedenartigkeit der Farben und der Bezeichnungen von Farben in lateinischer und griechischer Sprache von Bedeutung ist, wurde das Kapitel mit Untersuchungen im Hinblick auf historisch-philosophische Themen belegt. Es ist zu beachten, dass die Noctes Atticae reich an Material aus verschiedenen Wissensbereichen sind, da in dem Werk Themen der Philosophie, der Ethik, der Literatur, der Grammatik, der Etymologie und sogar der Textkritik, der Geschichte, der Rhetorik und der Rechtswissenschaften angesprochen werden. Dieses Werk stellt sich daher als außerordentlich wertvolle Quelle des Wissens über die Antike dar.
