[*] 18.15. qualis esset, etc.: indir. quest. after cognoscerent. — natura, character. — qualis … ascensus: i.e. what kind of an ascent there was at various points of its circuit. — qui cognoscerent （§ 531. 2 (317. 2); B. 282. 2; G. 630; H. 589.ii (497. 1); H-B. 502. 2）: the antecedent of qui is eos, quosdam, or some such word, to be supplied as object of misit, he sent men to ascertain. Such a relative may in Latin always imply its own antecedent, as in English the relatives whoever and what; cf. qui … appellantur, 1 2and note. [*] 18.16. facilem: sc. ascensum. — de tertia vigilia: cf. 10 7 and note. [*] 18.17. pro praetore, with powers of praetor. The praetor, like the consul, held the imperium or power to command; a legatus, not possessing this in his own right, might be temporarily invested with it by his commander. Labienus, and perhaps others of Caesar's lieutenants, had the imperium in their own right, by special grant. [*] 18.18. ducibus, a kind of predicate apposition, as guides; cf. § 283. a (185. a); B. 168; G. 325; H-B. 319. 1 — qui … cognoverant, i.e. who had been of the reconnoitering party. [*] 18.19. consili: a predicate gen. after quid sit （§ 343. b (214. c); B. 198. 3; G. 366; H. 447 (402); H-B. 340）. Such genitives are not rare in Caesar, and are probably more or less colloquial. — sit: cf. reprehendat, l. 8 above. [*] 18.20. de quarta vigilia, about 2 A.M., the sun at this season rising here about four o'clock. [*] 18.22. rei: § 349. a (218. a); B. 204. 1; G. 374; H. 451. 1 (399. i. 2); H-B. 354 [*] 18.23. Sullae, Crassi: Sulla, the dictator, had conducted the war against Mithridates about thirty years before （B.C. 88-84）, and Crassus that against Spartacus some years later （B.C. 71）. — in: sc. exercitu.
