42. 5. dormit. See the note on _fugit_, 4, 25.
12. aliqui. Learn from the vocabulary the difference between _aliquis_ and _aliqui_. maturandum sibi, 'they ought to hasten,' more literally 'haste ought to be made by them'; maturandum (_esse_) is the impersonal passive, and sibi the so-called dative of the agent. With the gerundive the person who has the thing to do is regularly expressed in the dative. 16. mirati. See the note on 25, 27. 20. dis. See the note on 38, 17. 21. evenisset. See the note on _accepissent_, 26, 21. 23. vigilia. The Romans divided the day from sunrise to sunset into twelve hours (_horae_), the night from sunset to sunrise into four watches (_vigiliae_). 24. neque enim. See the note on 7, 12. 25. inimico animo, ablative of description. 43. 2. hoc dolore, 'this anger,' _i.e_. 'anger at this.' Navem longam, 'war-galley,' 'man-of-war.' The adjective contrasts the shape of the man-of-war with that of the merchantman. 4. fugientis, used as a noun, 'the fugitives.' |
