Each successive stage of his decline. Ipsa is omitted in the common editions. But it rests on good authority and it adds to the significance of the clause: the very moments, as it were, were reported to Dom. Per dispositos cursores. Constabat. Animo vultuque. Hendiadys: he wore in his countenance an expression of heartfelt grief. Securus odii.
Nos, se. Romanos. Spectaculo. Ablative. Invidere is constructed by the Latins in the following ways: invidere alicui aliquid, alicui alicujus rei, alicui aliqua re, alicui in aliqua re. Hess. Cf. Quint. Oblectationi oculisque. Hendiadys for ad oblectationem oculorum.
Brevi amisit, he lost shortly after; though R. takes amisit as perf. for plup. and renders lost a short time before. Mox inter, etc., sc. annum inter, supplied from etiam ipsum ... annum below. Tenor et silentium. Hendiadys for continuum silentium, or tenorem silentem. Jurisdictio. For the administration of justice in private cases had not fallen to his lot.
With the use of cetera here, compare His. 4, 56: ceterum vulgus==the rest, viz. the common soldiers, and see the principle well illustrated in Doederlein's Essay, His. p. 17. Opere. Hard labor, which would serve as a punishment. Beck. Gall. Exc. 2. Sc. 2; Smith's Dic. Ant. as above. Non disciplina ira. Hendiadys==non disciplinae severitate, sed irae impetu. Cf. His. 1, 51: severitate disciplinae.
INGENIA: = suum cuique ingenium; 'old men retain their wits'. PERMANEAT: A. 266, d; G. 575; H. 513, I. STUDIUM ET INDUSTRIA: 'earnestness and activity'; not a case of hendiadys, as some editors make it. Cf. n. on 15 iuventute et viribus.
IUVENTUTE ET VIRIBUS: commonly explained as a hendiadys, i.e. as put for iuventutis viribus; but Cic. no more meant this than we mean 'the strength of youth' when we speak of 'youth and strength'. Real instances of hendiadys are much rarer than is generally supposed. QUAE: = tales ut.
R. Exc. 25. Ira et victoria. Hendiadys. Render: Nor did they in the excitement of victory omit, etc. So Dr. R. and Wr. Ira may, however, refer to their long cherished resentment. Ira causam, victoria facultatem explendae saevitiae denotat. Rit. Quod nisi. And had not, etc. Cf. note, 12: quod si. Patientiae. Most Latin authors would have said: ad patientiam. R. Patientia here==submission.
Sat. 2, 4, 95: haurire vitae praecepta beatae, and note, His. 1, 51: hauserunt animo. Prudentia matris. So Nero's mother deterred him from the study of philosophy. Suet. Ner. 52. Pulchritudinem ac speciem. The beautiful image, or beau ideal, by hendiadys. Cf. Cic. Or. 2: species pulchritudinis. See Rit. in loc. Vehementius quam caute.
Hendiadys==personal liberty. Voluntariam. An earlier Latin author would have used ipse, ultro, or the like, limiting the subject of the verb, instead of the object. The Latin of the golden age prefers concrete words. The later Latin approached nearer to the English, in using more abstract terms. Cf. note on repercussu, 3. Juvenior. See Doed. and Rit. in loc. Ep. 4, 8, and Apul.
Here are the Aposiopaesian Auxiliaries, and Dithyramb that killed Punctuation in open fight; Parenthesis the giant and champion of the host, and Anacoluthon that never learned to read or write but is very handy with his sword; and Metathesis and Hendiadys, two Greeks.
