But we very much approve of the same author Thucydides, who says that he (Themistocles) died of a disease at Magnesia. Nor does he desist before his conquering [arm] stretches seven huge deer on the ground, and equals their number with his ships. Here, duly sacrificing, he pours on the ground to Bacchus two bowls of wine, two of new milk, two of sacred blood, and scatters purple flowers. He, who, having given bail for his friend, is drawn from the country to the city, protests that they alone are happy who live in the city. This and that attendant must be sought after, that not alone I should go out into the country or abroad: more servants and horses must be maintained, coaches are to be bought. Thou leadest her home with a bad fortune, whom Greece will demand back with a great army, being bound to break thy marriage, and [to destroy] the ancient kingdom of Priam.

A certain rich sordid wretch at Athens is reported thus to have been accustomed to despise the flouts of the populace: "The mob hiss me; but I congratulate myself at home, as often as I contemplate the money in my chest."

ENGLISH TO BE TURNED INTO LATIN. She dwelt (impf.) at Rhodes. I received (two binas) letters from thee, (dated datas) at Corcyra. (After that inde) he came to Ephesus, and there lands Themistocles. He marches (for in) further Gaul, and arrives (at ad) Geneva. He was unwilling to return to Sparta, [but] betook (plupf.) himself to Colonæ, which place is (in the territory of Troas in agro Troade). He lived many years (at our house domi nostræ). Alexander died at Babylon. We have been always (together und) at home and (abroad militiæ). (I will go, I will see ibo visum) if he is at home.

These GENITIVES are used after interest and refert without substantives, tanti, quanti, magni, parvi, &c., as, magni inrest, it much concerns; parvi refert, it little concerns It concerns me much [that] we should be together. It very much concerns us [that] thou shouldest be at Rome. It much concerns the honour and praise of this state [that] it should thus be done. Magnus interest meus, unà ego sum. Permagnus, noster interest tu sum Roma. Magnus interest ad decus et laus hic civitas ita fio. Verbs impersonal, put acquisitively, govern a DATIVE; put transitively, an ACCUSATIVE, with an INFINITIVE; as, Peccāre nemini licet, no one is allowed to sin; me juvat ire per altum, it delights me to travel by sea. He sins less who is allowed to sin. It becomes a wise man to try all [things] before that of arms. Qui dat. pecco licet, pecco minùs. Omnis priùs experior, quàm arma sapiens decet. It by no means becomes an orator to be angry; it is not improper to pretend [to be so]. Ye shall go to Italy, and be permitted to enter the ports.

Pænitet, tædet, misĕret, miserescit, pudet, piget, govern an ACCUSATIVE of the person, and a GENITIVE of the thing; as, eos ineptiarum pœnitet, THEY repent of their absurdities. * Sometimes the preposition after attinet is omitted.
