PAGE 214 215 216 217 218 LV. The measures proposed by Fabius Maximus. 26. Dubitabant... venturum. The accusative with the infinitive, with dubito and non dubito, is the prevailing construction in Livy. Drakenborch and Fabri at this place adduce numerous parallel passages. 30. Nondum palam facto; sc. qui vivi mortuique essent. A singular instance of the impersonal use of the participle in ablative absolute. 11. Egredi urbem. Accusative, as also III. 57, urbem egrederentur, and II. 37, urbem excederent, where see n. LVI. Intelligence from Canusium and from Sicily. 15. Pedibus...issent; this expression is used to express the adoption of an opinion in the senate, because the senators who voted in the same way went over to the same side of the house. See Dict. Antiqq., p. 1019, on discessio. 37. Provinciamque aliam R.; i. e., aliasque partes provinciæ Romanæ. --Alschefski. LVII. Prodigies and sacrifices.—A levy is made. 6. Primo quoque tempore, etc.; at the very earliest moment; see n. on primos quoque, XXI. 52. 13. Quos nunc; i. e., scribas. 17. Libros. See n. on this word, XXI. 62. 24. Minime Romano. Livy might well desire to disclaim such sacrifices as a Roman usage. On the sacrifice of human victims, see Dict. Antiqq., p. 999. 30. Magnis itineribus contendit; hastens by forced marches. 3. Servitiis. See n., II. 10. LVIII. Proposals for a ransom of Roman prisoners are made by Hannibal, and ten Romans are sent to negotiate it with the senate. 14. Et patres...et se, etc.; the words et--et really connect here opposing thoughts; they may be translated, as on the one hand—so on the other. Patres refers to the Carthaginian fathers (in the sense of ancestors) of Hannibal and his army. 25. Inclinarent; sc. Romani.-Fabri. LIX. The speech of M. Junius before the senate. 18. Nec supersumus...nisi, etc ;. i. e., nisi ii tantum in quibus, etc., which is equivalent to-nor do any of us survive, except those whom the PAGE enemy lacked sword and strength to slay. 27. Prætulerint...sint; potential subj.; see H. 485; nor would those indeed, etc., justly prefer themselves to us and boast, etc. 35. Nam si. Nam is elliptical, as if had just been said: Ourselves I do not compare with them; for if, etc.-Fabri. 37. Si tamen... faciatis. These words are parenthetical; and the words following cui nos, etc., depend upon animadvertendum. Si tamen, if indeed, though. Fully to complete the sense of tamen, we may supply, with Alschefski, quamvis ea quæ dixi vos tam duros esse vix patiantur. Merito here in a bad sense, fault; without our having deserved it, i. c., without any fault of ours. 2. Qui vos; i. e., patres vestros. 13. Me dius fidius. Fidius (from fides) is a name of Jupiter, like the Greek Πίστιος, god of truth ; dius deus; and me is the demonstrative e, as in ecastor, with the prefix of m, as in Mars, from "Apns; μéxpis, from axpis. See Lexicon, under Fidius; also Hand, Turs. 2, p. 342. 15. Indigni, ut. Livy has also ut with dignus, in XXIV. 16; in dignus, XXIII. 42; but the construction is unusual. LX. The speech of T. Manlius Torquatus. 31. Nec prohibendos. Nec means and yet not. Prohibere with the infin., as in I. 39, toward the end. 33. Prædibusque ac prædiis; the prædes are persons, citizens owning real estate, sureties; the prædia are the estates of such persons, which are given as security. 1. Ullius...corum; i. e., captivorum. 2. Quid...aliud quam...essetis. What else than, i. e., only. For I should only have needed to remind you. See n. on nihil aliud—quam, II. 8. 30. Nec...duceret. Ducere in the sense of consider, regard; he would have regarded you neither indeed, etc. 31. Viam, etc. The whole sense is this: Those words (i. e., moriamur, milites, etc.) Sempronius neither said, nor could have said; but he pointed out the way that conducted no less to safety than to glory, and yet you would not follow him. 12. Conati sunt. See n. on dedit, II. 10. 218 219 220 221 24. Nisi quis credere, etc. Unless any one can believe that they were, i. e., that they were then good and faithful citizens, when, etc. 2. Vobis. The ethical dative, see H. 389; for you; i. ·· this I say, 222 that you, whom it chiefly concerns, may know all that has really taken place. 3. Decuerat. See Z. § 518. PAGE 223 LXI. The senate refuse to pay the ransom for the captives. 30. Ita...ne; on this condition, that not, etc. 4. Censoribus; abl. abs.; under the next censors.— -Confectos is a stronger word than affectos would have been, stronger also than the technical term notatos; it means ruined by the brands of ignominy which were fixed upon them by the censors. 24. Gratiæ actæ quod de re publica non desperasset. "The senate felt his confidence in them, and answered it nobly. All party feeling was suspended; all popular irritation was subdued; the butcher's son, the turbulent demagogue, the defeated general, were all forgotten; only Varro's latest conduct was remembered, that he had resisted the panic of his officers, and, instead of seeking shelter at the court of a foreign king, had submitted himself to the judgment of his country. The senate voted him their thanks, 'because he had not despaired of the commonwealth.'"-Arnold, Hist., 2, p. 320. GEOGRAPHICAL INDEX. A. Aborigines; a word for the earliest inhabitants of Latium.
