19 7. Ne ego videar, that I may not appear. Ego. Its use indicates emphasis, i. e. sirive, for my sake. Sumpsisse to have adopted. 9. Ad in reply to. Regem locutum (esse), that the king had spoken. Why translate regem, that the king? Because it is subject accus. of locutum esse, depending on the word of perceiving intelligebat. Why must esse be supplied? Because it is necessary to complete the verbal form. Why translate had spoken, and not has spoken? Because locutum esse is past with reference to intelligebat, which is itself past, i. e. locutum esse is in effect pluperfect. A. & S. 268, 2; H. 540; B. 1126; A. 288.

Funera may be supplied, and is sometimes expressed: justa then full, due, complete. Fecerant. The subjunctive (fecissent) might have been used with a scarcely perceptible difference of meaning. In unum, sc. locum, into one place= together. 15. Minimus, sc. natu, the youngest. Ex illis, of them, instead of the partitive gen. A. & S. 2 212, Rem. 2, Note 4; H. 398, 4; B. 775; A. 216, c; G. 371, 5. 16. Jam antea, even before. 17. Materno genere - = on his mother's side, lit. in respect to his mother's birth.

A. & S. 3 245, I.; H. 419, I.; B. 880; A. 249; G. 411. 3. Proxumus lictor, lit. nearest attendant.

Page 20 i. e. into the (Roman) province of Africa, previously the territory of Carthage. 32. 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.

Auctoritas, influence. 5. Incessit, took place. 6. Invidia, odium; gratiam, popularity. Nobilitatis, with the nobility. 7. Quorum is an instance of "construction according to sense," i. e. it agrees with the plural idea (and not the singular form) of nobilitatis. Spe, i. e. praemii. 8. 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

cerem (I should regard). 17. Loco, sc. in, which is often omitted 21 with this word. A. & S. 2 254, Rem. 2; H. 422, 1, 1); B. 937, 2; A. 258, f. 18.

19-39. Quae praecepta, these precepts. 20. Agitarem, I was acting out: subjunct. in narration. A. & S. 2 263, 5, Rem. 2; H. 518, II. 1; B. 1244; A. 325; G. 586. 21.

Eo miseriarum, to this degree of misery. See note on eo magnitudinis, line 19, p. 13. Venturus eram = I was destined to come. The active periphrastic form denotes intention, destination. A. & S. 2 162, 14; H. 228; B. 328; A. 113, b. 26. Vellem, I could wish. The imperfect expresses a wish whose realization is now impossible. A. & S. ? 260, II., Rem. 2; A. 267. 27. Beneficia, services. Possem, that I were able. What conjunction is omitted? A. & S. 262, Rem. 4; H. 493, 2; B. 1204, in fin.; A. 331, ƒ. But many editors here read posse. 28. Maxume, particularly, above all. Deberi beneficia, that services avere due. Volo admits either (1) the subjunctive with ut or ne, or (2) the infinitive with a subject accusative; and both constructions are here used together. A. & S. 2 271, Rem. 4; H. 551, II. 2, 2); B. 1140 and 1204. 29. Quibus, ablat. A. & S. ? 250, 2, (2); H. 419, III.; B. 907; A. 243, f. Secundum ea next to this, or, after that, ea referring to beneficia. Order: uti uterer debitis (sc. beneficiis, that I might avail myself of services due to me), si desideranda erant. Si desideranda erant (if they had to be desired), stronger than si desideranda essent in case they should be desired. 30. Parum tuta, not safe enough, not sufficiently secure. 31. Neque fuit, and it was not in my power (to effect). The words to effect are not so much to be supplied as they form part of the meaning of the idiom in manu alicujus esse to be in one's power; just as how forms part of the meaning of scio vincere, I know how to overcome. 32. Foret, would be: subjunct. of indirect quest. A. & S. 3 265; H. 525; B. 1182; A. 334. 36. Societatem vostram =an alliance with you. 37. Bello, ablat. of time when. 38.

Genere, by birth, descent: ablat. denoting in what respect (of specification). 6. Alienas opes the aid of strangers, foreign aid. Erat (for esset), would become (belong to), just as we sometimes say in English "it had been better" for "it would have been better."

Nisi forte, etc. Because nations dependent upon Rome might be called upon for aid. 25. Audacia, ablat. of description (quality); scelere, ablat. of manner. Sese efferens rising. 26.
