63.5.

cohortandi: pass., as always, though from a deponent verb; see § 190. d (135. d); B. 112. b; G. 251; H. p. 114, foot-note at end; H-B. 291. — signum dandum: the last signal for immediate action; cf. 64 5. This list includes all the functions of the commander, ordinarily extended over a considerable time. In this emergency Caesar says these needed to be done at once, and this was impossible (cf. impediebat). But the difficulty was partially remedied by the good sense and discipline of the soldiers who did what was proper without orders.
