14. ad navigandum. See the note on _ad quietem_, 14, 1.
16. post, here an adverb of time. 18. dicitur. Notice that the Latin construction is personal ('the nation is said to have consisted'), while English commonly has the impersonal construction ('it is said that the nation consisted'). 19. rei militaris, 'the art of war.' 25. mandavit. See the note on 16, 17. 26. Amazonibus, dative after the compound verb. 19. 1. persuasit. Notice that this verb governs the same construction that we have already found used with _impero_ and _mando_. 2. secum. See the note on 12, 19. 5. appulit. Supply _navem_. 6. doceret. A clause of purpose is frequently introduced by a relative. Translate like the _ut_-clause of purpose, here 'to make known,' literally 'who was to make known.' 14. magno intervallo, ablative of degree of difference. 16. non magna. The effect of the position of these words may be reproduced by translating 'but not a large one.' |
