sui ulciscendi, 'of avenging himself.' This is called the gerundive
construction. It is regularly used instead of the gerund when the gerund
would have an accusative object (_se ulciscendi_). Notice that the gerund
is a verbal noun; the gerundive a verbal adjective, agreeing with its
noun like any other adjective.

17. morientis, 'of a dying man.' Compare _mortui_, 28, 1.

18. vis, from _volo_.

20. si ... venerit, 'if you ever suspect him.' What is the literal
meaning? Notice that we use the present, while Latin by the use of the
future perfect indicates that the action is to precede that of the main
clause.

21. inficies. The future indicative is sometimes used, as in English, for
the imperative.

22. nihil mali. See the note on 22, 26.

suspicata. See the note on 25, 27.

25. Iolen, filiam, captivam, direct object, appositive, and predicate
accusative respectively.

26. domum. See the note on _ad domum_, 3, 15.

31. 1. referret. See the note on 19, 6.
