30.19.

Rhodanus = only the Rhone.rebus: dat. following occurrendum [sibi], § 370 (228); B. 187. iii; G. 347; H. 429 (386); H-B. 376: possibilities which he thought must be met at once. In this clause two things are to be noticed: first, that the Latin regularly puts an antecedent, which is in apposition with something preceding, in the relative clause, e.g. 'which kind,' not 'a kind which'; and, second, that a verb which governs the dat. cannot be used in the pass. with a personal subject. In both these respects the form must be altered in translating to suit the English idiom.
