C. Sallusti Crispi De Bello Catilinario Et Jugurthino

[247] _Male consulere_, 'to form bad' or 'injurious resolutions.' [248] _Perse_. Respecting the forms of this name, see Zumpt, SS 52, 54. [249] _An_ must be explained by supplyi...

44. Sed Allobroges ex praecepto Ciceronis per Gabinium ceteros conveniunt;[215] ab Lentulo, Cethego, Statilio, item Cassio postulant jusjurandum, quod signatum ad cives perferan...

[1] _Aevi brevis_, 'of short duration.' _Aevum_, in the sense of _aetas_, is rather poetical, and does not occur till a rather late period; whence the common expression _medium...

The text of Sallust, notwithstanding the many and excellent editions which have been published, has not yet acquired a form that can be regarded as generally adopted and establi...

20. Catilina,[112] ubi eos, quos paulo ante memoravi, convenisse videt, tametsi cum singulis multa saepe egerat, tamen in rem fore credens universos appellare et cohortari, in a...

[162] _Quibus_. Sallust more frequently uses the accusative in such expressions. See chapter 8. [163] _Afflictare sese_, 'they worried themselves.' The expression is properly us...

[334] _Agitabat_ does not express the sentiment of the haruspex; for if so, the verb would be in the subjunctive. [335] Marius accordingly possessed every qualification required...

[1] _Omnes_. Other editions have _omnis_ or _omneis_. The accusative plural of words of the third declension making their genitive plural in _ium_, varied in early Latin, someti...

[113] _Ante facta_, &c. It would have been more common to say _factis suis anteponerent_. In Cicero, _ante_ is not used to denote preference as in Sallust, _Cat._ 53: _Graeci an...

100. Dein Marius, uti coeperat, in hiberna proficiscitur, quae propter commeatum in oppidis maritimis agere decreverat. Neque tamen victoria socors aut insolens factus, sed pari...

91. Ceterum in itinere cotidie pecus exercitui per centurias, item turmas [495] aequaliter distribuerat, et ex coriis utres uti fierent curabat; simul et inopiam frumenti lenire...

[153] _Nisi tamen intellego_ refers to the preceding _plura scribere nolo_, and expresses an exception, as is always the case with _nisi_ after a negative: he will write nothing...

55. Postquam, ut dixi, senatus in Catonis sententiam discessit,[308] consul optimum factu ratus, noctem, quae instabat, antecapere, ne quid eo spatio novaretur, III. viros[309]...

85. 'Scio ego, Quirites, plerosque non iisdem artibus imperium a vobis petere et, postquam adepti sunt, gerere; primo industrios, supplices, modicos esse, dein per ignaviam et s...

[57] _Me falsum habuit_ for _me fefellit_. We remarked before (Cat. 51) [note 253 above] that Sallust is fond of using _habere_ in certain phrases. [58] _Amicissimos._ See Zumpt...

53. Romani ex improviso pulveris vim magnam animadvertunt; nam prospectum ager arbustis consitus prohibebat. Et primo rati humum aridam vento agitari, post ubi aequabilem manere...

32. Haec atque alia hujuscemodi saepe dicundo Memmius populo persuadet, uti L. Cassius, qui tum praetor erat, ad Jugurtham mitteretur eumque interposita fide publica Romam ducer...

[246] Tib. Gracchus was slain in B.C. 133, and his brother, G. Gracchus, in B.C. 121. Sallust here states that the faction of the optimates threw obstacles in the way of the two...

9. Igitur domi militiaeque boni mores colebantur, concordia maxima, minima avaritia erat, jus bonumque apud eos non legibus magis quam natura[62] valebat. Jurgia, discordias, si...

[390] _Bocchus_, king of Mauretania, west of Numidia, and extending as far as the Ocean, opposite to Spain. It accordingly comprised the modern empire of Fez and Morocco. [391]...

108. Ibi cum Boccho Numida quidam, Aspar nomine, multum et familiariter agebat, praemissus ab Jugurtha, postquam Sullam accitum audierat, orator[608] et subdole speculatum Bocch...
