23. veniebant, postulabant, imperfect of customary action. 25. civis suos, 'his fellow-citizens.' Compare 5, 10. hoc stipendio, ablative of separation. 27. atque. This conjunction adds an important statement by way of supplement. Here the meaning is something like 'and not only that, but.' 11. 11. conversa. _Est_ and _sunt_ are frequently not expressed with the perfect participle. 17. suos ipse sua. Notice how the enormity of the crime is emphasized by the use of all these words repeating the same idea. 23. oraculum Delphicum. See the note on 5, 6. hoc oraculum omnium = _hoc omnium oraculorum_. 25. Hoc in templo. Monosyllabic prepositions often stand between the noun and an adjective modifying it. 12. 1. qui. Remember that the relative pronoun agrees in gender, number, and person with its antecedent; that its case depends upon its use. How are the person and number of qui shown? 2. hominibus. See the note on 9, 2. 4. neque. See the note on 6, 8. |
