R.M. 1, 13: et milites pro frumento hordeum cogerentur accipere. Similitudinem vini. Beer, for which the Greeks and Romans had no name. Hence Herod. Corruptus. Cum Tacitea indignatione dictum, cf. 4: infectos, so Guen. But the word is often used to denote mere change, without the idea of being made worse, cf. Virg. Geor. 2, 466: Nec casia liquidi corrumpitur usus olivi. Here render fermented.
They fall short of liberty in not being free, like most of the Germans; and they fall below slavery itself, in that they are slaves to a woman. XLVI. Venedorum et Fennorum. Modern Vends and Finns, or Fen-men. Cf. Latham in loc. Ac torpor procerum. The chief men are lazy and stupid, besides being filthy, like all the rest. Foedantur. Cf. infectos, 4. Habitum, here personal appearance, cf. note, 17.
The words ego and modo, which from their frequent use are often shortened in the comedians, are generally long in Ennius; Lucretius uses them as common, but retains homo, which after him does not appear. Pulsus ego? aut; Graius homo, infectos. A line by Maecenas, quoted in Suetonius, has diligo. In Statius no new licenses appear. Juvenal gives also sumito, octo, ergo.
IV. Ipse eorum opinionibus accedo, qui Germaniae populos nullis aliis aliarum nationum connubiis infectos propriam et sinceram et tantum sui similem gentem exstitisse arbitrantur: unde habitus quoque corporum, quanquam in tanto hominum numero, idem omnibus; truces et cacrulei oculi, rutilae comae, magna corpora et tantum ad impetum valida; laboris atque operum non eadem patientia: minimeque sitim aestumque tolerare, frigora atque inediam coelo solove assueverunt.
H. 388, II. 3; Z. 419; and in T. above all others, cf. Boet. Lex. Tac. sub Dativus. Adjecto. Graecis litteris. Grecian characters, cf. Caes. IV. Aliis aliarum. Aliis is not however wholly redundant; but brings out more fully the idea: no intermarriages, one with one nation, and another with another. Walch and Ritter omit aliis, though it is found in all the MSS. Infectos.
