SAPIENTES SENES: neither of these words is used as an adjective here; the whole expression = sapientes, cum facti sunt senes. LEVIOR: cf. the fragm. of Callimachus: γηρασκει δ' ‛ο γερων κεινος ελαφροτερον, τον κουροι φιλεουσι. PRAECEPTIS etc.: cf. Off. 1, 122 ineuntis enim aetatis inscitia senum constituenda et regenda prudentia est.
Connexis, with some intervening link, such as fences, hedges, and outhouses; cohaerentibus, in immediate contact. Remedium inscitia. It may be as a remedy, etc. or it may be through ignorance, etc. Sive sive expresses an alternative conditionally, or contingently==it may be thus, or it may be thus. Compare it with vel vel, chap. 15, and with aut aut, A 17. See also Ramshorn's Synonyms, 138.
XVI. Nullas Germanorum populis urbes habitari, satis notum est: ne pati quidem inter se junctas sedes. Colunt discreti ac diversi, ut fons, ut campus, ut nemus placuit. Vicos locant, non in nostrum morem, connexis et cohaerentibus aedificiis: suam quisque domum spatio circumdat, sive adversus casus ignis remedium, sive inscitia aedificandi.
Remedium is acc. in app. with the foregoing clause. Inscitia is abl. of cause==per inscitiam. Caementorum. Tegularum. Citra. Properly this side of, hence short of, or without, as used by the later Latin authors. This word is kindred to cis, i.e. is with the demonstrative prefix ce. Cf. Freund sub v. Speciem refers more to the eye, delectationem to the mind.
