[*] 76.21. rebus … administrandis: dat. of the gerundive, expressing purpose; an unusual construction, the acc. with ad or in or the gen. with causa being much more common. Why is constituissent in the subjv. ? [*] 76.23. decurrere, conicere, repugnare, mittere, occurrere, ferre, superari: histor. infinitives, describing the scene and implying incessant action; cf.13 18, 70 17, and notes. [*] 76.24. gaesa: Gallic javelins, of unknown form. — integris viribus （abl. abs.）, as long as their strength was unimpaired. [*] 76.27. eo: adv. — occurrere, ran to meet the danger. [*] 76.29. alii, while others. — quarum rerum, things of which; cf. 30 19, 38 19, 62 20, and notes. The gen. is part. with nihil. [*] 77.1. non modo … sed ne … quidem, not only not, but not even, etc.; we should expect another negative after modo, but the Latin regularly omits it where both parts have the same predicate. Note the emphasis on saucio. [*] 77.3. sui recipiendi: cf. 40 15, and note.
