Arnold's nepos. 107 



the present tense was used for the historic past. Of course it is a con- 

 structio ad sensum. 



Qui exercitui praeessent. This clause is epcxegetical. It is added 

 merely to explain praetores^ which had preceded. 



Milt. V, 1. Hoc in tempore nulla civitas Atheniensihus auxilio fuit 

 j)raeier Plataeenses. Ea mille 7nisit militum. ' In this emergency no 

 state was an aid to the Athenians, except the Plateeans. That (scil. 

 state,) sent a thousand men.' 



Hoc in tempore.) ' in this emergency,' more emphatic, because more 

 full, than simply hoc teinjwre, at this moment.' 



Auxilio fuit y ' was an aid.' The dative here expresses the modal 

 relation, for which otherwise no special provision has been made in La^t- 

 in. Comp. est mihi honori, ' it is to me for an honor.' 



Ea, ' that,' (scil. state,) for ci, ' those,' (scil. Plat?eans,) by the figure, 

 called synesis, or construclio ad sensum. 



Themist. i, 1. Hujus vilia ineuntis adolescentiae^ ' his faults of ear- 

 ly youth.' 



Here two genitives in different relations depend on the same sub- 

 stantive ; or, more correctly, the genitive ineuntis adolescenliae depends 

 on the simple substantive vitia, and the genitive hujus depends on the 

 phrase complex substantive vitia ineuntis adolescentiae. 



Themist. ix, 1. Scio, plerosque ita scripsisse, Themisloclem, Xerxe 

 regnante, in Asiam transisse. ' I know that many have written thus, 

 that Themistocles in the reign of Xerxes passed into Asia.' 



Ita here expressed is the demonstrative, to which the subsequent 

 clause corresponds. It is no more redundant than that in English. 



Pans. I, 1. Pausanias, Lacedaemonius, magnus homo. 'Pausanias, 

 the Lacedemonian, a great man.' 



Homo is used here in a general sense, and the emphasis is on mag- 

 nus. Comp. Virum bonum et magnum hominem pcrdidimus. Cic. Ho- 

 mo denotes a man generally, vir a man as opposed to a woman or child. 



Pans. 11, 2. ' Qui Utteras regi redderet. ' That he might deliver 

 the letter to the king.' 



The force of this clause is ielic. 



Re in reddo denotes back, not indeed to the place whence it came, 

 but to the place where it should be, or to the person who has a claim 

 to it.
