lapse of time is denoted.

4. cursu, ablative of cause.

exanimatum = _qui exanimatus erat_. The participle is often equivalent to
a relative clause.

8. rem. See the note on _res_, 13, 8.

10. apro, dative of indirect object after the compound verb (_ob +
curro_).

11. timore perterritus. It is not necessary to translate both words.

13. iniecit, i.e. upon the boar.

summa cum difficultate. Compare this with _omnibus viribus_, 13, 27, and
notice that _cum_ may be omitted with the ablative of manner when there
is an adjective. For the position of cum, see the note on 11, 25.

15. ad Eurystheum. We are told elsewhere that Eurystheus was so
frightened when he saw the boar that he hid in a cask.

vivus. Why have we the nominative here, but the accusative (vivum) in
line 5?

17. quarto. The capture of the Erymanthian boar is usually given as the
third labor and the capture of the Cerynean stag as the fourth.
