Ita petita pace ac dedita insula, clarus ac magnus haberi Agricola: quippe cui ingredienti provinciam, quod tempus alii per ostentationem aut officiorum ambitum transigunt, labor et periculum placuisset.
In a good sense, courage, cf. 31: virtus ac ferocia. Praeferunt==prae se ferunt, i.e. exhibit. Ut quos. Ut qui, like qui alone, is followed by the subj. to express a reason for what precedes. It may be rendered by because or since with the demonstrative. So quippe cui placuisset, 18. Cf. Z. 565 and H. 519, 3. Gallos floruisse. Cf. Otio. Opposed to bellis, peace. Amissa virtute.
Officiorum ambitum. "Compliments of office." Ky. Placuisset. Subj. cf. note, 11: ut quos. Expeditionem continuisse. He did not call it a campaign or a victory to have kept the conquered in subjection. Laureatis sc. litteris. It was customary to communicate the news of victory to the Emperor and Senate, by letters bound with bay leaves, cf. Liv. 5, 28: litterae a Postumio laureatae sequuntur.
