[*] 19.1. teneretur: subjv. after cum, describing the situation; cf. 4 12, 6 14, 7 17, and notes. [*] 19.2. ipse: Caesar. [*] 19.3. passibus: abl. of degree of difference after abesset （§ 425. b (257. b); B. 223; G. 403; H. 479 (423)）, not after longius （see § 407. c (247. c); B. 217. 3; G. 296. R. 4; H. 471. 4 (417. 1, N. 2); cf. H-B. 416. d）. [*] 19.4. aut Labieni: after adventus and coordinate with ipsius. — equo admisso = at full speed （with reins thrown loose）. [*] 19.6. armis: the shields and helmets of the Gauls were distinctly different from those of the Romans; see Fig. 11, Fig. 28, Fig. 87, etc. [*] 19.7. insignibus: i.e. devices on shields and helmets, — stags' horns, eagles' plumes, etc.; see Fig. 11. The inference from this report would be that Labienus and his force had been cut to pieces, and Caesar must expect an attack at once. This accounts for his next movement, which was to fall back and wait in line of battle, while Labienus was vainly expecting him. [*] 19.8. ut, as. [*] 19.9. ne … committeret … essent: subject of erat praeceptum; see § 566 (331. h.); B. 295. 1 [*] 19.10. ut … fieret: a purpose clause, in order that the attack might be made on all sides at once. [*] 19.11. monte occupato, etc., having seized the height, continued to look out for our men. Observe how the imperfects exspectabat and abstinebat describe the situation. See note on 3 5. [*] 19.12. multo die: abl. of time, late in the day. — denique, not till; see vocab. [*] 20.2. quod non vidisset, what he had not seen; sc. id, object of renuntiasse. — pro viso, as if seen; viso is used here as a noun. — quo, sc. eodem, at the same interval as usual, i.e. five or six miles; see 13 15. [*] 20.3. milia: acc. of extent, § 425. b (257. b); B. 223; G. 335; H. 417 (379); H-B. 387.
