Patratis consiliis. We may render this having accomplished his designs (which gives the sense accurately, and is more in accordance with English idiom), without, however, forgetting that the words are in the ablat. absolute, and mean, grammatically, his designs having been accomplished. 33. Numidiae. Potior sometimes governs the genitive. Find the rule by means of the index in your grammar. In otio, at leisure. 34. Timēre (historical infin.) began to fear. 35. Ejus, i. e. populi Romani. 37. Multo qualifies both auro and argento, but "an adjective following two nouns may qualify both, but it usually qualifies only the latter." The sense must decide- here the idea is, "gold and silver which were much." 38. Quis for quibus, a contraction quite common in Sallust. 21 = 1-19. Largiundo, by giving liberally by bribing. Parare (to accomplish) depends on cunctentur. The same construction occurs in the Catilina, cap. 44, in fin. 2. Ex, in accordance with. 3. Hospitibus, to their hosts, i. e. "certain Roman citizens who undertook to entertain visitors from Numidia, and take charge of their affairs, like the poɛvoι of Athens." M. 4. Auctoritas, influence. 5. Incessit, took place. 6.

Ambiundo, by going round to by soliciting favor of. Nitebantur (strove) is followed by the object-clause ne- consuleretur (that too severe measures might not be taken against him). Notice the force of the imperfect, nitebantur, forcibly expressing a series of single complete actions frequently repeated. Consulo means, I take measures; consulitur (impersonal), measures are taken. See A. & S. 2 184, 2, b; B. 1308. 10. Constituto, having been appointed. Utrisque, to both parties. 11. Locutum (esse), spoke. 12. Patres conscripti, conscript fathers. During the regal period of Rome the senators were addressed simply as "Patres." But, on the establishment of the republic, when, from causes not fully explained, many vacancies had occurred in the senate, a number of plebeians of equestrian rank were made senators. Hence the customary mode of addressing the whole senate henceforth always was, patres conscripti," that is, patres et conscripti (and those enrolled with the patres). Dict. Antiqq. 14. Procurationem, the administration: subject accus. of esse, equally with jus and imperium; depending on existumarem. 15. Repeat uti before eniterer and du 66 |
