QUIBUS otio vel magnifice, vel molliter, vivere copia era incerta pro certis malebant.* SALLUST. * "They who had the means to live at ease, either in splendour or in luxury, preferred the uncertainty of change to their natural security."
Al. in bello, bello, and in bellum. Otio. See note, 11: otio. Privatim. As a private individual; publice, by public authority, and of course from the public treasury, cf. note G. 39: publice. Jam vero. Moreover, cf. G. 14, note. Anteferre. But there is no authority for such a use of the word, when followed by the acc. and dat.
In a good sense, courage, cf. 31: virtus ac ferocia. Praeferunt==prae se ferunt, i.e. exhibit. Ut quos. Ut qui, like qui alone, is followed by the subj. to express a reason for what precedes. It may be rendered by because or since with the demonstrative. So quippe cui placuisset, 18. Cf. Z. 565 and H. 519, 3. Gallos floruisse. Cf. Otio. Opposed to bellis, peace. Amissa virtute.
QUIBUS otio vel magnifice, vel molliter, vivere copia era incerta pro certis malebant.* SALLUST. * "They who had the means to live at ease, either in splendour or in luxury, preferred the uncertainty of change to their natural security."
