104.28. premerentur: a good example of the subjv. in implied indir. disc.; see note on 32 21. 105.1.

per exploratores: cf. note on 57 3. 105.3.

uticonvenirent: object clauses of purpose, following the verbal phrase nuntiosdimisisse, which involves an idea of sending orders or advice. The rest of the sentence contains only statements and is therefore in the indir. disc. construction. 105.5.

hunc, etc., this had been selected about the middle, etc.; medium is used as a pred. agreeing with hunc§ 293 (193); B. 241. 1; G. 325. R. 6; H. 497. 4 (440. N. 2); H-B. 244.) in preference to an adverbial phrase in medio. 105.7.

decertare: not merely fight, but fight the decisive battle or decide the issue. This force of de is very common. 105.10.

utliberaret, etc.: these clauses are in app. with rebus, and their form as result clauses is determined by confectis; see note on 4 17. In English some change of construction is often necessary in such cases. Here, having accomplished, etc. (namely), inspired, … chastised, … relieved. 105.13.

arbitratus: cf. 52 7 and note.
