Tac. Boet. VII. Reges, civil rulers; duces, military commanders. Ex== secundum. So ex ingenio, Sec. 3. The government was elective, yet not without some regard to hereditary distinctions. They chose also their commander the king, if he was the bravest and ablest warrior; if not, they were at liberty to choose some one else.
INFIRMITAS: the context shows that not physical but intellectual weakness is meant; so in Acad. 2, 9 infirmissimo tempore aetatis; Fin. 5, 43 aetas infirma. FEROCITAS: 'exultation', 'high spirit'. IAM CONSTANTIS AETATIS: i.e. middle age, the characteristic of which is stability; cf. 76 constans aetas quae media dicitur; also 60; Tac. A. 6, 46 composita aetas. For iam cf. Suet.
Her name seems composed of ix, the feminine article, she; and of tac, or tal, a verb that signifies to have a desire to satisfy a corporal want or inclination. IXTAL would, therefore, be she who desires to satisfy a corporal inclination. As to her other name, Nana, it simply means the great mother, the very mother.
Under the commandant of cadets are several other Army officers, captains and lieutenants, who take upon themselves the numerous duties of which the commandant has oversight. These subordinate officers in the tactical department are known as tactical officers. The cadets call them "tac.s."
"Permission is granted, Mr. Prescott," replied Captain Bates -but, oh, how coldly he spoke. The Army officer seemed trying to look Mr. Prescott through and through, for Bates thoroughly suspected Dick of a bold stroke to save his friend from watchful tac. eyes. "There was a question that came up among some of the yearlings in camp today, sir," Dick went on, very respectfully.
And as he walked with hurried steps, his heart beat with an excited tic, tac, tic, tac, just as if it were a wall clock, and his busy brain kept thinking: "What if, instead of a thousand, I should find two thousand? Or if, instead of two thousand, I should find five thousand or one hundred thousand?
"You came near missing me, Holmesy," Dick remarked carelessly and in a low voice, though he felt very certain that his tone overtook the departing tac. In silence, at first, Greg and Dick turned and walked in the opposite direction together. "Going to load the signal gun, eh, Greg!" chaffed Prescott. "Yes," confessed white-faced Holmes, a quiver in his voice.
Now, if my friend had come, he might have posed for me, sitting comically at the foot of a tree, with crossed legs, and smoking a cigar, like this. ... Or he might have pretended to be a wood-cutter, bending forwards and felling a tree . . . tac, tac, tac . . . without his jacket, of course. That would have made a picture. But those woods and mountains, all by themselves no! The camera revolts.
Just at that instant the yearling looked as though butter couldn't melt in his mouth. Turning a bit, Pratt caught sight of the tac., who stood looking on as though transformed with wonder. "Attention!" called Pratt at once. All the others wheeled, Dick rising in order to do so. Six young men who looked intensely earnest over study, faced the O.C. respectfully.
Cf. clavarium, H. 3, 50, note. But after Augustus, official pay, salary. Ne emisse. Proprium humani, etc. Mark the sentiment. Irrevocabilior. More implacable. Found in this sense only in T. Cf. Boet. Lex. Tac. Illicita. Unlawful, i.e. forbidden by the powers that be. Explained by contumacia and inani jactatione libertatis above.
