Tur. Hist. Ang. Sax., App. No. 3, chap. 1. Juxta libertatem, i.e. simul cum libertate, or inter liberos homines. The form of expression is characteristic of the later Latin. Cf. Hand's Tursellinus, vol. III. p. 538. Tacitus is particularly partial to this preposition. Convictibus, refers to the entertainment of countrymen and friends, hospitiis to that of strangers. Pro fortuna.
Nisi si is nearly equivalent to nisi forte: unless perchance; unless if we may suppose the case. Cf. Wr. note on Ann. 2, 63, and Hand's Tursellinus, 3, 240. Memoriae et annalium. Properly opposed to each other as tradition and written history, though we are not to infer that written books existed in Germany in the age of Tacitus. Carminibus.
But the confederacy was soon dissolved and seldom appears in subsequent history. We still have a trace of their name in the Modern Suabia. Schweben, to wave, to hover, cf. Caes. See Rup. in loc. Adhuc. Cf. note on it, 19. As to position, cf. insuper 31, and 34. Cf. Hand's Tursellinus, 1, 163. Doed. renders besides, sc. the general designation of Suevi. In commune. In common.
Saeculum==indoles et mores saeculi, the spirit of the age, the fashion. From these, it passed naturally, in Quintilian and the writers after him, into the sense of even more, still more, even, especially in connection with the comparative degree; where the authors of the Augustan age would have used etiam. See Z. 486; Boetticher's Lex. Tac. sub. voce; and Hand's Tursellinus, vol. 1.
See Hand's Tursellinus, vol. IV. p. 454. We sometimes use not so much, not so very, not so bad, &c., for not very, not much, and not bad. Still the form of expression strictly implies a comparison. And the same is true of haud perinde, cf. Boet. Lex. Tac. Est videre. Est for licet. Graece et poetice. Not so used in the earlier Latin prose. See Z. 227.
