21. et. See the note on 28, 18.
23. laturi essent, 'would bring,' more literally 'were going to bring.' Notice that in subjunctive constructions the periphrastic form is necessary to express future action clearly, since the subjunctive has no future. 25. quod, object of the implied _fecerat_. 53. 14. quo. See the note on 43, 7. 15. id ... saluti, 'and this was his salvation,' literally 'that which was for safety to him.' For the datives see the note on 13, 16. 20. tertium, the adverb. 22. Neminem. Why is the accusative used? 27. inquit. See the note on 14, 28. 28. quam facultatem, for _facultatem quam_. The antecedent is often thus attracted into the relative clause, ne omittamus, 'let us not neglect,' the hortatory subjunctive. 29. rei gerendae. See the note on 52, 8. 54. 1. extremum palum, 'the end of the stake.' Other adjectives denoting a part of the object named by the noun they modify are _medius_, 'the middle of'; _ceterus_, 'the rest of'; _reliquus_, 'the rest of'; |
