141.7.

Balventio: connect with femur; dat. of reference where we might have expected a gen. of possession; but the Latin is especially fond of this construction.—qui . . duxerat: as he had been chief centurion the year before, we infer that he was now serving in the corps of veterans called evocati. See chapter on military affairs, IV. a.
