[9] monendum est te: this impersonal construction of the neuter gerundive of a transitive verb with a direct object occurs only once in comedy ( Pl. Trin. 869mi agitandumst vigilias” ), but is fairly common in Lucretius and Varro, though nowhere found in Caesar. It rarely occurs in Cicero and in the Augustan and later writers.
