Ubi, here adv. of time, as in 20, 38, et passim. Certabant. Not fought with the enemy, but vied with each other. So below: utroque certante. With pro salute, cf. His. 4, 58: pro me securior. Erupere. Sallied forth, sc. from the camp. Utroque exercitu. Each of the two Roman armies. Quod. Cf. 12, note. Debellatum, lit. the war would have been fought out, i.e. ended. Modo cauti.

"I was the last man," he said, "that went down into it before he was buried there. I was a young fellow then, and curious to see what was going on. The place was full of skulls and bones. I wish you could see my son; he's a clever lad, only he ought to have more of the suaviter in modo."

The countenance, the address, the words, the enunciation, the Graces, add great efficacy to the 'suaviter in modo', and great dignity to the 'fortiter in re', and consequently they deserve the utmost attention.

Evening had come when I found myself again on the Lung' Arno, in a world neither Pagan nor Christian, in which I am a stranger. Leaving behind you Ponte di Mezzo and the Lung' Arno, quasi a modo d'un archo di balestro, you come into the Borgo, under the low arches of the old houses that make a covered way. This is perhaps the oldest part of Pisa.

With suaviter in modo, sed fortiter in re, I informed him that I did not consider him a sufficiently crack shot to enable him to win a Wimbledon shield; and what the deuce did he but there, I had to shoot the poor miserable creature, who already had two rifle bullets in his carcass, and I am sure with his last breath he thanked me for that quick relief.

To proceed, then, regularly and PULPITICALLY, I will first show you, my beloved, the necessary connection of the two members of my text 'suaviter in modo: fortiter in re'. In the next place, I shall set forth the advantages and utility resulting from a strict observance of the precept contained in my text; and conclude with an application of the whole.

ut ait Statius noster in Synephebis. 25 Nec vero dubitat agricola, quamvis sit senex, quaerenti cui serat respondere: 'dis immortalibus, qui me non accipere modo haec a maioribus voluerunt, sed etiam posteris prodere'.

Perhaps the Artist himself could not answer; as to the quo modo in every particular, we doubt if it were possible to satisfy another.

Phil. 189 αχω τηλεφανης; Cic. De Or. 2, 60 illorum tactu orationem meam quasi colorari. NESCIO QUO PACTO: literally, 'I know not on what terms'; quite interchangeable with nescio quo modo; cf. 82. ADHUC NON: purposely put for nondum, because more emphasis is thus thrown both on the time-word and on the negation.

Any other nationality while allowing the Arabs a fair share of the element would simply have rebuilt this termid and put it to a decent use, in the name of cleanliness and civilization; the natives acquiescing, as they always do when they recognize their masters. Or, if a display of force was considered inadvisable, why not try the suaviter in modo?
