T. often omits est in the first of two passive verbs, cf. 9: detentus ac statim ... revocatus est. Abnuerat, lit. had refused, because the refusal was prior to the slaying.

See further, on the name and office of Praetor, His. 1, 47, note. For the plup. in obvenerat, see note, 4: abnuerat. Et==et omnino.
