For a similar use of the word in the expression of a similar sentiment, see Suet. Jul. 67: Delicta neque observabat omnia neque pro modo exsequebatur. Compare our word execute. And mark the sentiment, as a maxim in the science of government. Severitatem commodare. W. with Dr. and R. make this an example of zeugma. So Wr.
By which means, now and then fuming out of their way, now and then standing to their ranks, sometimes taking up the wounded that followed, sometimes laying them down, they wasted the time, except three hundred horse, whom Egnatius brought safe to Carrhae about midnight; where calling, in the Roman tongue, to the watch, as soon as they heard him, he bade them tell Coponius, the governor, that Crassus had fought a very great battle with the Parthians; and having said but this, and not so much as telling his name, he rode away at full speed to Zeugma.
He marched from Zeugma across the Mons Masius towards the Upper Euphrates, defeated the Romans in an important battle near Arnida, took, by a sudden assault, two castles which defended the town, and then somewhat hastily resolved that he would attack the place, which he did not imagine capable of making much resistance.
Crossing the Euphrates at Zeugma, the modern Bir or Bireh-jik, he proceeded to ravage the open country, and to receive the submission of the Greek cities, which were numerous throughout the region between the Euphrates and the Belik. The country was defended by the Parthian satrap with a small force; but this was easily defeated, the satrap himself receiving a wound.
Securitas publica was a current expression and wish, and was frequently inscribed on medals." Ky. Assumpserit. This word properly belongs only to fiduciam ac robur. Spem ac votum would require rather conceperit. Zeugma. Subit. Steals in, lit. creeps under. Cf. note, H. 1, 13. Invisa primo amatur. The original perhaps of Pope's lines Vice is a monster, &c. Quindecim annos.
The young prince accordingly set out, and reached the city of Zeugma in safety. Here he was joined, not only by a number of the Parthian nobles, but also by the reigning king of Osrhoene, who bore the usual name of Abgarus.
Belisarius took up his head-quarters at Europus, on the Euphrates, a little to the south of Zeugma, and, spreading his troops on both banks of the river, appeared both to protect the Roman province and to threaten the return of the enemy.
And certainly I did chaff him pretty well, and not only wrenched from his grasp that petty township of his situated in the territory of Zeugma on the Euphrates but also raised a loud laugh by my satire on the man's purple-edged toga, which he had been granted when Cæsar was consul.
Zeugma for terra adveniebant, classibus advehebantur. Nec et. These correlatives connect the members more closely than et et; as in Greek oute-te.
At that very time on trial, not merely already at that time. Cf. Hand's Tursel. 3, 113. Nostra, sc. of the Senate, of which T. was a member, though abroad at the time. Helvidius was arrested in the senate house, cf. Plin. Ep. 9, 13. This was Helvidius the son, who was put to death by Dom. Visus. Al. divisus. Visus==species, adspectus, Wr. Perfudit. Zeugma. Of Rusticus and Senecio, see 2, note.
