58. 8. se intendentibus, 'stretching themselves across the sky.' 9. in convivio luxuque, 'in sumptuous banquets,' hendiadys. 11. ab nocturno iuvenali ludo,' after the amusement of the night.' 2. satis tuta circa, sc. omnia, out of 'sopiti omnes.' 3. pavida ex somno, 'starting in alarm out of her sleep. versare animum. 'tries to influence in every direction her woman's mind.' cf. 21, 30, 1, Hannibal varie militum versat animos castigando adhortandoque. 6 5. vel vi victrix, even by mere force the conqueror,' i.e., without the addition of the threats of death and disgrace, by mere physical force it would have been victor. This seems to be Madvig's explanation, put forth with great confidence (Em. Liv. 66, Ed. 2). The MSS. read velut, which Weiss explains, thinking it was victor,' while in the end it brought ruin on Sextus. Seeley proposes' violatrix.' ferox, elated.' maesta, 'crushed.' In § 6 translate 'maestam,' 'in dreary sorrow.' 7. suorum, Lucretia is the virtual subject to the sentence. Satin salve supply 'agis,' cf. 3, 26, 9. 'satin satisne, cf. viden 39, 3. vestigiv, cf. Aesch. Ag. 411, orißoi piλávopes, Prop. 2, 29,35. Apparent non ulla toro vestigia presso. dexteras fidemque, your hands and word.' 9. aegram animi, really locative, cf. 7, 6. "In prose writers of Cicero's and Livy's time it is only with words expressing doubt or trouble that this genitive is used." (Madvig, Em. Liv. 163, Ed. 2.) 12. prolapsaque paterque, and sinking forward on the wound, she fell dead. Her husband and father call wildly on her.' Refers to the calling on a person immediately after death (conclamatio). It was originally a means of ascertaining whether the person was really dead. For prolapsa in vulnus,' cf. Lucretius 4, 1049, Namque omnes plerumque cadunt in vulnus. 59. 1. denique. The MSS. dehinc, which word occurs nowhere else in Livy. exacturum. The MSS. exsecuturum; but this word takes an accusative of the offence but not of the person, when it means 'to punish.' 3. miraculo indignitate, naturally enough at the strange and shocking nature of the extraordinary occurrence.' 5. parte. The best MSS. read pari, which is translated adequate,' or 'equal to that which marched forth.' Madvig supposes pari' to have arisen from the old abl. parti.' custodibusque. These were placed no doubt round about the town on the outside to prevent any secret message being sent to the Tarquins. 6, rursus, on the other hand,' cf. Hor. Epp. 1, 2, 17. Rursus quid virtus et quid sapientia possit. haud temere esse, no casual matter,' cf. Verg. Æn. 9, 375. Haud temere est visum; also the phrases bene, recte, ita esse. 7. ad tribunum celerum. The mere tribune had not this power; not even the deputy of the king (praefectus urbis) could summon the curies. Mommsen (R.H. 1. p. 256 note) says the 'tribunus celerum' is confounded with the magister equitum,' and the right of convoking the centuries by virtue of his praetorian rank is extended to the assembly of the curies. That Brutus should have been made tribunus celerum' is not strange; it may have been a contemptuous piece of superbia' on the part of Tarquin towards the people. 8. cui esset, 'to whom more than his daughter's death, the cause of that death was a disgrace and calamity.' 9. exhauriendas, 'digging out.' 11. quae praesens subiicit,' which indignation at the events sug gests at the time, and chroniclers do not find it easy to relate.' 12. Ardeam in castra, we should say to the camp at Ardea,' cf. 23, 24, 5. Teanum in hiberna ad exercitum rediit, and 60, 2. Caere in Etruscos. 6 praefecto urbis, sometimes praefectus urbi.' He was the deputy of the king during the absence of the latter. 4. consules. In the earliest times of the republic, these officers were called praetores' (3, 55, 12). 6 praefecto urbis. He would not have had such power under the monarchs; but now they were banished, in this time of revolution, the 'praefectus urbis' was the chief executive magistrate.
