So Wr.; Or. and Doed. understand by it going beyond the mere performance of his duty. It was his duty to protect his province: he enlarged it. Quaereretur. Subj. in a relative clause denoting a purpose. Veranius. Ann. 14, 29. Paullinus. Ann. 14, 29-30. Monam insulam. Now Anglesey. But the Mona of Caesar is the Isle of Man, called by Pliny Monapia.
I have given that, which, on the whole, seems to rest on the best authority, and to make the best sense. The sense is: the soil, climate, &c., do not differ much from those of Britain. So Wr. and Doed. On in melius, see note H. 1, 18. Or. and Rit. make the comparison thus: the harbors and entrances are better known, than the soil, climate, &c.
Consuletur, fut., because at the time of drawing lots the deliberation and decision are future. So Ritter in his last edition. Ter singulos tollit. A three-fold drawing for the sake of certainty. So also the Romans drew lots three times, Tibul. 1, 3, 10: sortes ter sustulit. But Or., Wr. and Doed. understand simply the taking up of three lots one each time. Si prohibuerunt sc. sortes==dii.
"Now Doed had heerd his mother tell about his Uncle Ned, an' when t' lad said that Ned Bowker were his father, he gat a bit aisier in his mind; but for all that he didn't altogether like t' looks o' him. Howiver, they gat agate o' talkin', and Doed let on that he were fearful fain o' squirrels.
This is, on the whole, the most satisfactory explanation of the passage, and meets the essential concurrence of Wr., Or. and Doed. Germani. If it is a Latin word corresponding only in sense with the original German, then==brethren. It will be seen, that either etymology would accord with Grueber's explanation of the whole passage in either case, the name would inspire fear.
"'Eas fai! and so he is, my Lady, and a terrible job they had to bury mun thunder, lightning and hailstones so big as sloes. Dead he is, and I won't jidge mun but not afore he'd a doed the mischief, for but three weeks afterward my pig falls into the mill-leat.
She used to call me 'Jacob Diggs, because of my porochial office, with a meaning of a joke on my parenshal name. Ah, what a merry one she were! And now this is what I has to do for her! And sooner would I 'a doed it a'most for my own old ooman!" "Oh, Jacob!"
Hendiadys==personal liberty. Voluntariam. An earlier Latin author would have used ipse, ultro, or the like, limiting the subject of the verb, instead of the object. The Latin of the golden age prefers concrete words. The later Latin approached nearer to the English, in using more abstract terms. Cf. note on repercussu, 3. Juvenior. See Doed. and Rit. in loc. Ep. 4, 8, and Apul.
"Why don't you cut him down, you old fools?" cried the Admiral to three gaffers, who stood moralising, while Mrs. Cheeseman sat upon a barrel, sobbing heavily, with both hands spread to conceal the sad sight. "We was afraid of hurting of him," said the quickest-witted of the gaffers; "Us wanted to know why 'a doed it," said the deepest; and, "The will of the Lord must be done," said the wisest.
The reader cannot fail to recognize here, as usual, the reference to Rome, where usury was practised to an exorbitant extent. See Fiske's Manual, Sec. 270, 4. and Arnold's His. of Rome, vol. 1, passim. Universis. Whole clans, in distinction from individual owners. In vices. By turns. Al vices, vice, vicis. Doed. prefers in vicis; Rit. in vicos==for i.e. by villages.
