Haec dignitas, hae vires, magno semper electorum juvenum globo circumdari, in pace decus, in bello praesidium. Nec solum in sua gente cuique, sed apud finitimas quoque civitates id nomen, ea gloria est, si numero ac virtute comitatus emineat: expetuntur enim legationibus et muneribus ornantur et ipsa plerumque fama bella profligant.
Tac. Si emineat. Comitatus is gen. Emineat, subj. pres. H. 504 et 509; Z. 524. Ceteris aspici. Quibus cui, sc. sit==who shall have, etc. Ipsa fama. Mere reputation or rumor without coming to arms. Profligant==ad finem perducunt. So Kiessling, Boetticher and Freund. Ritter makes it==propellunt, frighten away. Profligare bella, proelia, &c., is Tacitean.
Cf. note, 87: affectavere. Plerumque. Often; a limited sense of the word peculiar to post-Augustan Latin. Cf. G. 13: ipsa plerumque fama bella profligant; and Freund ad v. Quae expressa==quorum succus expressus, etc. In tantum. To such a degree. Frequent only in late Latin. A servitute.
