So this disputed word seems to be explained by the author himself in the following clause; quique terminus esse sufficiat==and such that it suffices to be a boundary. Qui==talis ut; hence followed by the subj. Tencteris==apud Tencteros, by enallage, cf. note on ad patrem, 20, and other references there.
So also it was among the Franks at a later date. Vid. Greg. Tur. 3, 8. Rarum et intra, etc. Enallage, cf. note certum quique, 32. So K., Or. and many others. The word bears that sense, e.g. 5: argentum magis quam aurum sequuntur. But then what is retro sequuntur? for retro must be an adjunct of sequuntur both from position, and because there is no other word which it can limit.
Non multum, as opposed to plus, is nearly equivalent to minus. Venatibus, per otium. Enallage for venatibus, otio, H. 704, III. This figure is very frequent in T., e.g. Sec. 40: per obsequium, proeliis; A. 9: virtute aut per artem; A. 41: temeritate aut per ignaviam, &c. Seneca, and indeed most Latin authors, prefer a similar construction in antithetic clauses; T. seems rather to avoid it.
Enallage of the adv. and adj. ef. G. 18: extra. Ne sensisset. Would not have felt, etc., i.e. he recovered all the plundered offerings of the temple, but those which had been sacrilegiously taken away by Nero for the supply of his vicious pleasures. This explanation supposes a protasis understood, or rather implied in quam Neronis. See Wr. and Or. in loc.
Enallage, cf. note, G. 15. Adeo. To such a degree, or so true it is. Adeo conclusiva, et in initio sententiae collocata, ad mediam latinitatem pertinet. Dr. Livy uses adeo in this way often; Cic. uses tantum. At nunc, etc.
Hence Graeca comitate. Provinciali parsimonia. Parsimonia in a good sense; economy, as opposed to the luxury and extravagance of Italy and the City. Locum mixtum. Enallage for locus, in quo mixta erant, etc. H. 704, III., cf. 25: mixti copiis et laetitia. Bene compositum denotes a happy combination of the elements, of which mixtum expresses only the co-existence. Acrius, sc. aequo==too eagerly.
Mox, sc. when Paullinus and A. came to the rescue. Nec minus, etc. A remark worthy of notice and too often true. VI. Magistratus. The regular course of offices and honors at Rome. Per anteponendo. Enallage, cf. G. 15, note. R. Render: mutually loving and preferring one another. Nisi quod==but. Cf. ni, 4.
Abl. abs. denoting an additional circumstance. Cf. 2: expulsis professoribus, note. Olim limits victis. XII. Honestior. The reverse was true in the Trojan War. Factionibus trahuntur==distrahuntur in factiones. Dr., and Or. T. is fond of using simple for compound verbs. Civitatibus. Dat. for Gen. Pro nobis. Abl. with prep. for dat. Enallage. R. Conventus. Convention, meeting. Coelum foedum.
I will further spare four out of the seven figures of less note: emphasis, enallage, and the hysteron proteron you must have; because emphasis graces Irish diction, enallage unbinds it from strict grammatical fetters, and hysteron proteron allows it sometimes to put the cart before the horse.
