Præterea Tractus ille ad quem Madac appulit desertus esse potuit; cum tamen alia Loca et interiores partes barbaros Chichimecas haberent, quibus permixti Cambri et intermissa illa Navigatione, Linguam Moresque patrios exuerint. In hac vehementer me confirmant Indigenarum Traditiones. Nam Virginiani et Guahutemallæ antiquis Temporibus Madocum quendam velut Heroem coluerunt.
This speech of Roblado will disclose what is, perhaps, guessed at already that the late incursion of "los barbaros" was neither more nor less than an affair got up by Vizcarra and himself to cover the abduction of the cibolero's sister.
They believed that the "Indios bravos" were in the chapparal, and no doubt in overwhelming numbers. Their belief was strengthened by the proceedings of the previous days, in which they had done nought else, as they supposed, but ride scout after "los barbaros." The latter had now come after them! They halted, therefore, on the plains, and waited for their fellows to come up.
Elaborare would imply too much art for the author's purpose. See Rit. in loc. Succinum. Glesum. This name was transferred to glass, when it came into use. The root is German. Nec==non tamen. Yet it is not, etc. Ut barbaris. Cf. ut inter barbaros, A. 11. Barbaris is dative in apposition with iis, which is understood after compertum. Quae ratio. What power or process of nature. Donec dedit.
The burlesque proclamations, the exaggerated stories of Indians, the terror of the citizens, their encomiums on his own energetic and valorous conduct all these were a pleasant relief to the ennui of a barrack life and, during the several days' visit of "los barbaros," the Comandante and his captain were never without a theme for mirth and laughter.
Wife of Prasutagus, king of the Iceni. When conquered, she ended her life by poison, Ann. 14, 37. Expugnatis praesidiis. Having stormed the fortresses. The force of ex in this word is seen in that it denotes the actual carrying of a place by assault, whereas oppugnatus only denotes the assault itself. Ipsam coloniam. Cf. note 14: veteranorum colonia. In barbaris==qualis inter barbaros esse solet.
The scouting-parties were sent out from the Presidio, and proclamations issued to the inhabitants to be on their guard all for effect; and the further swoop upon the cattle was clear proof of the presence of "los barbaros" in the valley.
Long before night the troopers returned with their usual report, "los barbaros no pudimos alcanzar." They said that they had followed the trail to the Pecos, where the Indians had crossed, and that the savages had continued on towards the Llano Estacado. This piece of news gave some relief, for it was conjectured, if the marauders had gone in that direction, their plundering would end.
But when the word barbarous was first used it meant merely "foreign." To the Greeks there were only two classes of people Greeks, and non-Greeks or "barbarians." The name barbarian meant a bearded man, and came from the Greek word barbaros. The Greeks were clean-shaven, and distinguished themselves from the "bearded" peoples who knew nothing of Greek civilization.
