PREFACE
In the course of twelve years' experience in teaching Latin to
beginners, the writer has become convinced of two facts : The
first is that a textbook for secondary schools should be written
from the standpoint of the secondary school, and therefore by a
person who is familiar, from actual experience, with the condi-
tions of the classroom. Most of our textbooks for pupils begin-
ning Latin, however admirable in other respects, are written in
such a way as to require for intelligent comprehension consider-
ably more maturity of judgment and understanding than the
average beginner in Latin can be expected to possess. The
second of these facts is that a book to be of the greatest help to
the teacher, and thus secure the best results, should be so ar-
ranged as to enable the teacher to concentrate energy upon one
thing at a time.
\yith these two ideas as a fundamental consideration, the
writer has prepared this book. In reference to the first, every
effort has been made to use simple language and make all expla-
nations, rules, etc., directly intelligible to the young student.
Where explanations should be given, they are made, it is hoped,
clearly and simply ; in cases where experience has shown that
no book can supply the place of oral explanation, or where
explanation has seemed unnecessary, the facts have been sim-
ply stated, and the rest left to the instructor. As to the second
fact, the writer firmly believes that, in the main, it is wisest to
concentrate on forms first. Therefore the first thirty-six lessons
of this book are devoted to acquiring a thorough knowledge of
the forms and their practical use. By that time the pupil has
only irregular verbs left to learn ; his form work for the first
year is otherwise complete. Some syntax is of course given in
these lessons, but only such principles as are necessary for the
understanding of sentence structure, and for intelligent use of
iii
iv Preface
the forms that are being learned (for example, in Lessons XVI-
XX on Pronouns). Practically all the syntax of case and mood
is postponed until Lesson XXXVII, where the systematic study
of it begins with the lessons on the genitive.
In postponing the syntax, and concentrating on it in the last
twenty-four lessons, two difficulties were encountered : the dan-
ger of confusing the pupil's mind by crowding too many more or
less similar constructions together ; and the necessity of thorough
drill and review, without unduly lengthening the work. These
difficulties have been overcome by limiting the syntax to those
constructions which are of common occurrence in Caesar, and
by introducing at intervals lessons on the irregular verbs, and
employing these lessons to review thoroughly the syntactical
principles of the lessons preceding. Heynacher's analysis of
the syntax of Caesar has been employed in determining what
syntactical principles should be included. With the exception
of a few constructions, omitted because their difficulty renders
postponement until the second year advisable, no construction
has been omitted which occurs more than five times in the jirst
four books of Caesar. It is believed, therefore, that this book
contains all the syntax necessary to enable the pupil to make an
intelligent start in Caesar, and that ample exercises and reviews
have been provided for a clear understanding of it.
Beginning with Lesson XXV, each Lesson (except the review
lessons) contains a short passage of continuous prose. Ten
anecdotes are first given. These are easy and serve to show
the pupil that Latin can be used to describe interesting events
of everyday life. These are followed by short passages descrip-
tive of early Roman history which gradually lead up to more
difficult work. At the end, after the lessons are completed, will
be found twenty-three reading lessons, giving an account of the
Helvetian War, based on Caesar I, 1-29. The Latin of Caesar
has been somewhat simplified, chiefly by the shortening of long
sentences, and by the omission of the most difficult passages of
indirect discourse. The style of Caesar has been preserved,
Preface v
however, and the material thus provided will introduce the
pupil rapidly and easily to the text of Caesar, and at the same
time provide a thorough review of the syntax of the preceding
lessons. The notes give ample help and refer constantly to the
rules of syntax in the lessons. Attention is also called to the
following features of this book:
i. The Vocabulary. This has been based on Professor
Lodge's "Vocabulary of High School Latin." Exclusive of
proper names, the Vocabulary contains 771 words, ninety-seven
per cent of which occur in Professor Lodge's list of 2000 essen-
tial words ; ninety per cent occur four or more times in Caesar
I-V ; and eighty-six per cent occur in the list of 1000 words to
be learned before the end of the second year. Of the remainder,
the greater part are necessary for purposes of grammatical com-
pleteness, as — ego, tu, difficilis, riis, etc. A pupil who masters
these vocabularies will therefore acquire a knowledge of more
than a third of the vocabulary which Professor Lodge believes
essential for a High School student.
2. The Word List for Drill. On page 271 will be found a list
of the words in the vocabularies of the lessons, with the English
on the reverse side of the page. The words are purposely not
arranged in alphabetical order, ?nd where a word has two or
more entirely different meanings, each is given separately. This
list will be found of great value in mastering the vocabularies.
By its use frequent and rapid oral or written reviews are made
possible. It has been found that a pupil with the English words
before him can run through the list, giving the corresponding
Latin with remarkable speed.
3. The fact that the words in each vocabulary are reviewed in
the exercises of the lessons immediately following. This has
been provided for with great care throughout.
4. The special vocabularies of the first ten reading lessons.
These free the pupil from the necessity of searching the general
vocabulary for meanings until he has become somewhat familiar
with continuous prose.
vi Preface
5. The examples illustrating the rules of syntax. These con-
tain only words in common use so that a clear understanding
of the meaning and principle involved is assured.
6. The copious exercises. These illustrate every point of
form and syntax and, with the reading lessons, afford abundant
material for practice and sight translation. The English-Latin
exercises are unusually numerous, the author believing that
nothing else develops power so rapidly. All exercises, however,
are so arranged that teachers who prefer them shorter may omit
the latter sentences.
7. The clear, open page. By careful arrangement of material,
and generous spacing, an effort has been made to secure the
tremendous help of visualizing.
8. The treatment of the conjugations. By the development
of the principles of formation on the stems, the pupil is taught
to conjugate verbs other than the models, without difficulty.
9. The treatment of the third declension. The method of
determining the different classes of stems is given in a simple
way. In the vocabularies, all third declension nouns and adjec-
tives are given with the genitive in full.
Grateful acknowledgment is here made to Allyn & Bacon for
their courtesy in permitting the use of their texts of the " Gra-
datim " and the " Junior Latin Book " in the preparation of the
reading lessons.
In conclusion the author desires to express his gratitude to
Mr. J. A. Browning, of the Browning School, New York City,
for his many valuable suggestions ; to Mr. I. J. Uhrich and
Mr. N. E. Crosby, of the same school, and to Mr. Rest Fenner
Smith, Jr., formerly of the Newark Academy, all of whom have
devoted much time to the reading of the proof sheets ; and also
to Professor Henry P. Wright, until recently Dean of Yale
College, whose reading of the manuscript has been of great
value, and whose kindly interest and encouragement have been
a source of inspiration at all times.

INTRODUCTION
1. THE ALPHABET
The Latin alphabet is the same as the English except that it
has no j or w. The letter i is used both as a vowel and as the
consonant j.
II. PRONUNCIATION
i. The vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and y. They are either long
or short, and are pronounced as follows :
Long Short
a as \w father, a as the first a in aha.
e as in prey. e as in pet.
1 as in ?nachine. i as in sit.
o as in ode. o as in obey.
u as in rule. u as in pull.
y, used only in Greek words, is pronounced like French u,
or German u.
2. The diphthongs, or double sounds, are ae, au, oe, and
rarely ei, eu, and ui. They are pronounced as follows :
ae like ai in aisle.
au like ou in our.
oe like oi in oil.
ei like ei in eight.
eu like eh'-oo, slurred.
ui like oo'-ee, slurred.
i
2 Elements of Latin
3. The consonants are pronounced as in English with the
following exceptions :
c is always hard, as in come.
g is always hard, as in gate.
i, consonant, is like y in yet.
s is like s in sip ; never like s in his.
v is like w in wet.
bs, bt are like ps, pt.
ch is like ch in choir ; never as in church.
III. CLASSIFICATION OF CONSONANTS
Consonants are classified as :
Mutes : p, b ; t, d ; k, c, g, q.
Liquids: 1, r.
Nasals : m, n.
Spirant : s.
Double Consonants : x = cs or gs ; z = dz.
IV. SYLLABLES
i. Every Latin word has as many syllables as it has vowels
or diphthongs. In dividing words into syllables observe that :
(a) A single consonant between two vowels is pronounced
with the following vowel ; as, le-ga-tus.
(b) A mute with 1 or r between two vowels is pronounced
with the following vowel ; as, pa-tres.
(c) Doubled consonants are pronounced separately and each
distinctly ; as, pu-el-la.
(d) Compound words may be separated into their parts ; as,
in-it (in = in ; it = he goes ; he goes in, enters) .
2. The last syllable of a word is called the ultima, the next
to the last, the penult, and the one preceding that, the ante-
penult.
Introduction 3
V. QUANTITY OF VOWELS
Vowels are either long or short. In this book long vowels
are marked thus : a. The quantity of vowels is learned only
through careful pronunciation and constant observation. The
following principles are of value.
(a) A vowel is long before nf, ns ; as, amans, infero.
(J?) Diphthongs, and vowels resulting from contraction are
long; as, tubae, cogo (for co-ago).
(c) A vowel is short before nd, nt, and h ; also before an-
other vowel or a diphthong; as, amandus, prudentes, nihil, tiius,
pecuniae.
VI. QUANTITY OF SYLLABLES
1. A syllable is long by nature if it contains a long vowel or
a diphthong.
2. A syllable is said to be long by position if it contains a
short vowel followed by two consonants (except a mute and a
liquid), or by the double consonants x or z. Otherwise a syllable
is short.
VII. ACCENT
1. Words of two syllables accent the penult; as, tu'ba.
2. Words of more than two syllables accent the penult if it is
long ; otherwise, the antepenult ; as, virtu 'tis, confec'tus, tem'pBra.
3. Certain words, such as -que, -ne, -ve, known as enclitics, are
appended to the preceding word and pronounced as a part of it.
This may cause words regularly accented on the antepenult to
take another accent on the ultima ; as, generaque.
VIII. EXERCISE
Divide the following words into syllables and pronounce them.
Be careful to give the vowels the proper quantity, and to place
the accent on the proper syllable.

IX. PARTS OF SPEECH; INFLECTION
i. Latin has the same parts of speech as English, except that
it has no article.
2. Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and verbs are inflected, —
that is, they change their form to show their grammatical rela-
tion to the other words in the sentence. The inflection of nouns,
pronouns, and adjectives is known as declension ; that of verbs,
as conjugation.
X. DECLENSION
1. Case. Nouns, pronouns, and adjectives have six 2 cases, as
follows :
Nominative = Case of the subject.
Genitive = Objective with of, or possessive.
Dative = Objective with to ox for.
Accusative = Case of the object.
Vocative = Case of address.
Ablative == Objective with, from, by, with.
2. Number. Nouns, pronouns, and adjectives have two num-
bers, singular and plural.
3. Gender.
(a) Nouns : A noun has usually one gender only. The gen-
der of nouns is said to be natural when it is based on sex ; as,
agricola, farmer (masculine) ; mater, mother (feminine). It is
iOr eheu. 2 A few instances of a seventh case, the Locative, occur. This case
will be treated later.
Introduction 5
said to be grammatical when it is based on the termination of
the nominative singular. Grammatical gender will be further
explained later. Meantime the following general principles
should be learned.
1 . Masculine : Names of males ; names of rivers, winds, and
months.
2. Feminine: Names of females ; names of countries, towns,
islands, and trees.
3. Neuter: Indeclinable nouns ; as, nihil, nothing.
(b) Adjectives and most pronouns have forms for each gender.
XL
CONJUGATION
Latin verbs are conjugated to show person, number, tense,
mood, and voice. These terms have, in general, the same sig-
nification as in English. The names, meanings, and uses of
the various forms will be given later.

LESSON I
FIRST DECLENSION
1. NOUNS IN -A
Nouns of the first declension end in -a, and are declined as
follows :
Puella, girl; stem, puella-
SlNGULAR
a girl
of a girl
to or for a girl
a girl
from, by, with a girl
Plural
, girls
of girls
to ox for girls
girls
from, by, with girls
2. NOTES ON DECLENSION
i. The terminations are printed in heavy type.
2. The base of a noun or adjective may be found by dropping
the termination of the genitive singular ; thus the base of puella
is puell-.
3. The vocative case is like the nominative, and therefore for
convenience is omitted in this paradigm and elsewhere ; puella,
O girl /
4. The gender of nouns of the first declension is feminine,
except names of males ; as, agricola, m., farmer.

First Declension 7
5. Dea, goddess, and filia, daughter have the irregular ending
-abus in the dative and ablative plural; as, deabus.
6. Latin has no article ; hence, puella may mean girl, a girl,
or the girl.
3. DECLENSION OF ADJECTIVES
Feminine adjectives of the first declension are declined like
puella. Decline bona, good ; tuba magna, a large trumpet.
4. PRINCIPLES OF SYNTAX
i .' Rule : The subject of a finite verb is in the nominative case ;
as,
Puella est parva, the girl is small.
2. Rule : An adjective agrees in gender, number, and case with
the noun which it limits ; as,
tuba magna, 1 a large trumpet.
Tuba est magna, the trumpet is large.
Note : An adjective may be either attributive, or predicate. An
attributive adjective limits its noun directly, as in the first example. A
predicate adjective is separated in sense from the noun it limits by the
verb sum (to be), or a verb of similar meaning, as in the second example.
5. VOCABULARY
agricola, ae, m., farmer. longa, long (adj.).
bona, good (adj.). magna, great, large (adj.).
dea, ae, f., goddess. multa, ?nuch ; pi., many (adj.).
est, he, {she, it) is; (there) is; non, not (adv.).
sunt, they are; (there) are. parva, small {&&].).
filia, ae, f., daughter. tuba, ae, f., trumpet.
incola, ae, m., inhabitant. via, ae, f., way, road.
Italia, ae, f., Italy.
1 Adjectives often follow their nouns in Latin. When emphatic they usually
precede. Adjectives denoting number and quantity regularly precede.

NOTES ON DECLENSION
i. The vocative singular of nouns of the second declension
in -us ends in -e ; as, serve, O slave. The vocative of all
other nouns of any declension is like the nominative.
2. Nouns in -ius form the genitive singular in -i, instead of
-ii; as, filius, — genitive fili (for filii). These genitives accent
the penult, even when short. Filius also has the vocative, fili.
14
Second Declension 15
3. The irregular endings of dea and filia in the dative and
ablative plural (2, 5) are to distinguish them from the same
cases of deus, i, m., god, and filius, 1, m., son.
4. Most nouns in -er are declined like ager. Socer, gener,
the plural liberi, children, and a few uncommon words are like
puer.
15. DECLENSION OF ADJECTIVES
Masculine adjectives of the second declension end in -us and
-er, and are declined like the corresponding nouns ; thus :
Like servus : bonus, 1 longus, magnus, multus, parvus ; like
ager : pulcher ; like puer : liber (see 25).
16. EXERCISE
Review 4. Decline bonus servus, the good slave ; bonus agri-
cola, the good farmer ; ager magnus, a large field.
17. APPOSITIVES
i. Definition: A noun directly following another noun
and denoting the same person or thing is called an appositive ;
as,
John, the porter.
2. Rule: An appositive agrees in case tvith the noun which it
limits ■• as,
Marcus, puer, Marcus, the boy.
3. An appositive has no case meaning of its own, and is
translated as if nominative ; as,
Marci, pueri, of Marcus, the boy.
1 Adjectives have the same meanings in all genders.

Second Declension ; Questions 19
23. QUESTIONS
A question may be introduced by the interrogative particle
-ne, which is attached to the first word of the sentence ; as,
Estne puer bonus, is the boy good?
-Ne simply denotes interrogation ; it is not translated.
24. WORD ORDER
1. The usual order of the Latin sentence is subject, object,
verb; as,
Agricola puerum laudat, the farmer praises the boy.
2. The basis of Latin word order is emphasis. Therefore,
the usual order is often varied. Frequently, the emphatic word
is placed first ; as,
Puerum agricola laudat, the farmer praises the boy.
3. Try to observe these principles in writing English-Latin
sentences.

"Did you not lose your knife?" or ''You lost your knife,
didn't you ? "
2. In Latin, this kind of question is expressed by placing
nonne at the beginning of the sentence ; as,
Nonne copiaeagros vastant, the troops are laying waste the fields,
are they not?

Third Declension: Consonant Stems; Questions $2)
37. NOTES ON DECLENSION
i. In spirant stems, the -s of the stem becomes -r, except in
the nominative and vocative singular, and in some words even
in those cases ; as, honor, honoris, m., honor ; stem, honos-.
2. No simple rule can be given for the formation of the
nominative singular of nouns of the third declension. , The
nominative, genitive, and gender of each noun should be learned
as it occurs.
3. Neuters follow the regular rule for the nominative and
accusative. (See 21, 1.)
38. EXERCISE
Learn the nominative, genitive, and gender of each noun in
the vocabulary. Decline consul bonus, a good consul ; virtus
magna, great valor ; flumen longum, a long river.
39. QUESTIONS
1. Sometimes we ask a question in such a way that it is clear
we expect the answer " No " ; as,
" He didn't go, did he ? "
2. In Latin, this form of question is expressed by putting
num at the beginning of the sentence ; as,
Num copiae agros vastant, the troops are not laying waste the
fields, are they ?

accusative plural, -Is or -es.
b. Most nouns have -e in the ablative singular. A few have
both -1 and -e. Vis has only -1.
e. Most nouns have -em in the accusative singular. Tunis
has both -im and -em. Vis has only -im.
2. Neuters.
All these have -I in the ablative singular, -ium in the genitive
plural, and -ia in the nominative and accusative plural.

CLASSIFICATION OF STEMS
i. To decline a noun of the third declension, it is necessary
to determine whether it has a consonant stem, an -i stem, or a
mixed stem.
2. The following have -i stems :
a. Nouns in -is having the same number of syllables in the
genitive as in the nominative.
b. Neuters in -e, -al, -ar.
3. The following have mixed stems :
a. Nouns in -es having the same number of syllables in the
genitive as in the nominative.
b. One syllable nouns in -s, -x, preceded by a consonant.
e. Nouns in -ns, -rs.
d. Nouns in -tas.

NOTE ON DECLENSION
The stem is pliir- ; but note the -i stem terminations of the
genitive plural, and accusative plural masculine.
77. COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE : SPECIAL USES
i. The comparative sometimes means rather or too, and the
superlative, very.
Via longior est, the way is rather long.
Mos veterrimus, a very ancient custom.
2. Use of quam :
a. Quam, meaning than, is used when two things are com-
pared. The second of the words compared agrees in case with
the first ; as,
Tunis altior est quam murus, the tower is higher than the wall.
b. Quam, with the superlative, denotes the greatest possible
degree. It is translated by as . . . as possible.
Quam maximus numerus, as great a number as possible.

1 Is is strictly a demonstrative pronoun (see 106). The personal pronoun of
the third person is lacking in Latin. Its place is supplied by is, which is therefore
given here for convenience.
70
Personal and Reflexive Pronouns 71
92. NOTE ON DECLENSION
Pronouns, except tu, and the possessives (98), lack the
vocative.
93. USE OF PERSONAL PRONOUNS
The personal pronouns, when subject of the sentence, are not
expressed except for the purpose of emphasis or clearness'; as,
Amat, he loves.
Ego eum laudo, I praise him. (It is I who praise him.)
94. REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
i. A reflexive pronoun is one that refers to the subject of the
sentence or clause in which it stands ; as
He praises himself.
2. The oblique 1 cases of ego and tu are used as the reflexive
pronouns of the first and second persons. The reflexive of the
third person is sui. It is declined as follows :
Gen. sui, 2 of himself herself itself ; pi., of themselves.
Dat. sibi
Ace. se, sese
Abl. se, sese
95. USE OF THE REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
The following examples illustrate the use of the reflexive
pronouns :
Me laudo, I praise myself.
Nos laudamus, we praise ourselves.
Te laudas, you praise yourself.
Se laudat, he praises himself.
Se laudant, they praise themselves.
1 The oblique cases are the gen., dat., ace., and abl.
2 Used for all genders and both numbers.
72
Elements of Latin
Great care should be used in rendering English personals of
the third person into Latin. Is is never reflexive, sui always is.
Puer eum laudat, the boy praises him (another, not himself).
Puer se laudat, the boy praises himself.
96.

LESSON XVII
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS; THE INTENSIVE PRONOUN
98. THE POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
The possessive pronouns are really adjectives of the first and
second declensions. Each possessive is derived from the cor-
responding personal, thus :
Possessive Derived from
First Person
meus, a, urn, my, mine ego (mei)
noster, tra, trum, our, ours nos
Second Person
tuus, a, um, thy, thine, your, yours tii
vester, tra, trum, your, yours vos
Third Person
suus, a, um, his, her, its, their sui
99. NOTES ON DECLENSION
Noster and vester are declined like pulcher. The others
are like bonus, except that meus has mi in the vocative singular
masculine.
100. USE OF POSSESSIVES
i . The possessive (like any adjective) agrees with the noun
which it limits.
Hortus meus, my garden.
Filia tua, your daughter.
Castra sua, his camp.
74
Possessive Pronouns; The Intensive Pronoun 75
2. The possessive may be omitted if the meaning is clear
without it.
Vir filium amat, the man loves (his) son.
Vir filium meum amat, the ma?i loves my son.
3. Suus, like the personal sui, is reflexive only. When the
possessive his, her, its, their is not reflexive, the genitive v of is,
ea, id is used.
Filius eius, his son {the son of htm).
Hortus eorum, their ga?'den (the garden of them).
Note carefully the possessives in the following examples, the
first being reflexive and the second non-reflexive :
Vir filium suum laudat, the man praises his (own) son.
Vir filium eius laudat, the man praises his (another's, not his
own) son.
101.

Demonstrative Pronouns 81
107. NOTE ON DECLENSION
Idem may have idem in the nominative plural and isdem in
the dative and ablative plural.
108. USE OF THE DEMONSTRATIVES
1. Hie, iste, and ille are known, from their meanings, as de-
monstratives of the first, second, and third persons ; as,
Hie liber, this book (near me, here).
Iste liber, that book (near you, there).
Ille liber, that book (near him, yonder).
2. Hie and ille are often used together to show a contrast.
Hie may then mean the latter, and ille, the former ; as,
Hie Romanus, ille Gallus est, the latter is a Roman, the former,
a Gaul.
3. Ille may mean that famous, that well-known ; as,
Bellum illud, that famous war.
4. The demonstrative is is frequently used in place of the
personal pronoun of the third person, which is lacking in Latin
(see 91). The two uses should be carefully distinguished.
Demonstrative : Is vir, that man.
Personal : Eum laudo, I praise him.
5. All the demonstratives may be used as adjectives, and
when so used precede the noun limited ; but ille, in the use
mentioned in 3, usually follows the noun.
109. EXERCISE
Decline ille imperator, that general ; idem exercitus, the same
army ; ea regina, that queen ; hoc bellum, this war.

our (men); haec, these {things).
LESSON XIX
RELATIVE AND INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS
112.
THE RELATIVE PRONOUN
The relative pronoun is qui, who, which, what, that. It is
declined as follows :
Singular
Masc.
Fern.
Neut.
Nom.
qui
quae
quod
Gen.
cuius
cuius

113.
USE OF THE RELATIVE
i. The relative pronoun is so called because it refers or re-
lates to a preceding noun or pronoun for which it stands. This
preceding noun or pronoun is called the antecedent of the rela-
tive. In the sentence " I have a book which belongs to you,"
which is the relative pronoun, and book is the antecedent.
2. Rule : A relative pronoun agrees in gender and number
with its antecedent, but its case depends on the way it is used in
the sentence.
84
Relative and Interrogative Pronouns 85
Imperator milites vocat qui in castris sunt, the com?nander
summons the soldiers who are in the camp.
Here qui is masculine plural to agree with its antecedent
milites ; but, while milites is accusative, object of vocat, qui
is nominative, subject of sunt.
114. THE INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS
The interrogative pronouns are quis, who? which? what?
(substantive), and qui, tvhat? what kind of? (adjective). Qui
is declined like the relative, and quis is declined as follows :
Singular
Masc. and Fern.

ilative

115. USE OF THE INTERROGATIVES
Distinguish carefully quis, the substantive, and qui, the
adjective. Examples are the following :
Substantive :
Quis oppidum oppugnat, who is attacking the town ?
Quid nuntias, what do you announce ?
Adjective :
Qui dux oppidum oppugnat, what leader is attacking the town ?
Quae regina est in oppido, what queen is in the town ?
Quod proelium nuntias, what battle do you announce ?

1. The indefinites, except quisquam, may be used as substan-
tives or adjectives. Quisquam is substantive only.

LESSON XXII
VERBS 1 : PRINCIPAL PARTS; STEMS; SUM
131. PRINCIPAL PARTS; VERB STEMS
i. The principal parts of a verb are the present indicative,
present infinitive, perfect indicative, and participle (perfect or
future).
2. The principal parts are so called because they show the
three stems, on which all forms of the verb are built.
3. The present stem maybe found by dropping the ending
of the present infinitive. Thus the present stem of sum is es-,
from esse.
4. The perfect stem may be found by dropping -1 from the
perfect indicative. Thus, the perfect stem of sum is fu-, from fui.
5. The supine stem may be found by dropping -us 2 or -iirus
from the participle. Thus the supine 3 stem of sum is fut-, from
futiirus.
6. In general, the first three tenses of a Latin verb are
formed on the present stem, and the last three on the perfect
stem. Certain forms, however, are always formed on the
supine stem. These will be noted as they occur.

144. NOTES ON CONJUGATION
i. The -a of the present stem becomes -a in certain forms
and unites with the personal ending in the form amo. Similar
variations occur in the present stem of the other conjugations.
In studying the formation of tenses on the present stem, these
variations need not be considered as irregularities. The quan-
tity of vowels is a subject for special study. See Introduction,
V.
2. Otherwise the use of stems is regular according to 131, 6.

156. NOTES ON CONJUGATION
i. The use of the present stem is regular except in the form
amor, which is formed by adding the passive ending -r to the
active amo and shortening the -o.
2. The perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect passive are
composed of the perfect passive participle (see 162) and the
verb sum. They are called compound tenses, since they con-
sist of two parts. All compound tenses are formed on the
supine stem.
157. EXERCISE
Observe that compound tenses have different forms for each
gender. Translate : (i) He has been called. (2) The girl has
been loved. (3) The town has been captured.
158. ABLATIVE OF AGENT
Rule : With passive verbs, the agent {pi' person who performs the
action) is expressed by the ablative with the preposition a (aV).
Niintius a Caesare exspectabatur, the messenger was awaited by
Caesar.

from the participle (fourth principal part).
4. On the supine stem are formed the supine, the future
active and perfect passive participles, and all compound tenses.
1 Declined like bonus.
2 Sometimes called the future passive participle. Its use will be explained later.
3 Variations in the final vowel of the present stem occur in all conjugations, and
must be learned in the paradigms ; see 144, i ; 149, 3.

LESSON XXXVI
DEPONENT VERBS
214. i. Deponent verbs are verbs that have passive forms
and active meanings. They have, however, the following active
forms :
a. The future infinitive (in place of the passive).
b. The present and future participles.
c. The gerund and supine.
2. The meanings are regularly active, except the gerundive,
which is always passive.
3. Deponent verbs of all conjugations are conjugated as
regular passive verbs with the exception of the active forms
noted above. The conjugation to which a verb belongs may be
told by the ending of the present infinitive, thus :
Conjugation I -ari
Conjugation II -eri
Conjugation III -1
Conjugation IV -in
4. Below is given a synopsis of vereor (second conjugation) ;
and of sequor (third conjugation). These verbs will serve as
models for the conjugation of any deponent verb. Observe
carefully the differences between a deponent verb as noted above
and an ordinary passive verb, and give orally the complete
forms for each tense where only the synopsis is given.

LESSON XXXVII
SYNTAX: THE GENITIVE CASE
220. SYNTAX: MEANINGS
i. In studying the syntax, or grammatical use of the differ-
ent cases and moods, it will be found that the meanings of the
forms differ in some instances from the meanings learned in the
paradigms. The usual meaning of the genitive case is of but
it is sometimes better translated by for. Such variations are
shown in the translations of examples.
2. In translating the Latin exercises the pupil should classify
the different constructions of syntax according to the rules given
in the lessons.

Rule : The genitive is used to denote the person or thing to
which an object, action, or feeling belongs.
Hortus regis, the king 's garden {the garden of the king).
Imperium populi Roman!, the rule of the Roman people.
Oratio Caesaris, Caesar's speech.
222. PREDICATE GENITIVE OF POSSESSION
Rule: The genitive of possession is often used to complete the
predicate of a sentence, particularly with the verb sum.
Hortus est regis, the garden is the king's.
223. THE PARTITIVE GENITIVE (GENITIVE OF
THE WHOLE)
Rule : The genitive is used to denote the whole of which a part
is taken.
Pars equitum, paj't of the hoi'semen.

LESSON XL
THE DATIVE CASE
239. THE SIMPLE INDIRECT OBJECT
Rule : The dative of the indirect object is used with transitive
verbs, in connection with the direct object, to denote the person to
whom something is given, said, or done.
Librum puero dat, he gives a book to the boy.
240. INDIRECT OBJECT WITH SPECIAL VERBS
Some verbs, which in English are transitive and govern a
direct object, in Latin are intransitive, and govern the dative of
the indirect object.
Rule : Many verbs meaning to favor, help, please, trust, and
their opposites ; also to believe, persuade, com?nand, obey, serve, re-
sist, envy, threaten, pardon, and spare, govern the dative of the
indirect object.
Mihi confidit, he trusts (to) me.
Tibi persuasi, I persuaded you.
241. INDIRECT OBJECT WITH COMPOUNDS
Rule : Many verbs compounded with the prepositions ad, ante,
con, in, inter, ob, post, prae ; pro, sub, super, and sometimes circum,
govern the dative of the indirect object.
Hostibus appropinquamus, we are approaching the enemy.
i. Some of these verbs are transitive, and govern a direct
object, along with the indirect.
Legioni legatum praefecit, he placed the lieutenant in command
of the legion.
178
The Dative Case 179
242. THE DATIVE OF PURPOSE
Rule : The dative may be used to denote the purpose of an ac-
tion, or that for which a thing serves.
Equites subsidio mittit, he sends the cavah-y as (literally,/^/-)
an aid.
Note : With this dative there often occurs another dative of
the person affected.
Equites nobis subsidio mittit, he sends the cavalry as an aid to us.
Hoc nobis magno usui est, this is of (literally, for) great use
to us.

LESSON XLI
PERIPHRASTIC CONJUGATIONS ; THE DATIVE
(Continued)
246. THE ACTIVE PERIPHRASTIC CONJUGATION
The first, or active periphrastic * conjugation is composed of
the future active participle and various forms of the verb sum.
It has the meaning about to, going to, intend to ; as,
Amaturus est, he is about to love, he intends to love.
A synopsis of the complete conjugation is as follows :
Indicative
Pres. amaturus (-a, -um) sum, I am about to love.
Imp. amaturus eram, I was about to love.
Fut. amaturus ero, I shall be about to love.
Per/. amaturus fui, / have been (was) about to love.
Plup. amaturus fueram, / had been about to love. '
Fut. P. amaturus fuero, I shall have been about to love.
Subjunctive
Pres. • amaturus sim, may I be about to love.
Imp. amaturus essem, I should be about to love.
Per/. amaturus f uerim, / may have been about to love.
Plup. amaturus fuissem, I should have been about to love.
Infinitive
Pres. ■ amaturus esse, to be about to love.
Per/. amaturus fuisse, to have been about to love.
1 The word periphrastic means roundabout ; hence a periphrastic expression is
a roundabout way of saying a thing.
181
1 82 Elements of Latin
247. THE PASSIVE PERIPHRASTIC CONJUGATION
The second, or passive, periphrastic conjugation is composed
of the gerundive and various forms of the verb sum. It ex-
presses the idea of necessity ; as,
Monendus est, he is to be advised, he ?nust be advised (literally, '
he is deserving to be advised).
A synopsis of the complete conjugation is as follows :
Indicative
Pres. monendus (-a, -um) sum, / am to be advised, must be
advised.
Imp. monendus eram, I was to be advised.
Fut. monendus ero, / shall deserve to be advised.
Per/. monendus f ui, / was to be advised.
Plup. monendus fueram, I had deserved to be advised.
Fut. P. monendus fuero, I shall have deserved to be advised.
Subjunctive
Pres. monendus sim, may I deserve to be advised.
Imp. monendus essem, I should deserve to be advised.
Per/. monendus fuerim, / may have deserved to be advised.
Plup. monendus f uissem, / should have deserved to be advised.
Infinitive
Pres. monendus esse, to deserve to be advised.
Per/. monendus fuisse, to have deserved to be advised.
248. THE DATIVE OF AGENCY
Rule : With the passive periphrastic, the agent is expressed by
the dative.
Mihi pugnandum est, / must fight (literally, it must be fought
by me, it is for me to fight).
i. The literal translation of this construction is so awkward,
that it is usually better to turn the whole expression into the
active in English.
Periphrastic Conjugations; The Dative 183
249.
THE DATIVE OF POSSESSION
Rule : With the verb sum, the dative is used to denote the pos-
sessor, the thing possessed being the subject.
Agricolae est servus, the farmer has a slave (literally, to the
farmer is a slave).
250.
THE DATIVE WITH ADJECTIVES
Rule : Adjectives meaning fit, near, like, frie?idly, equal, pleas-
ing, and the like, ivith their opposites, govern the dative.
Germanis proximi sunt, they are nearest to the Germans.
Hie collis castello idoneus est, this hill is suitable for a fort.

LESSON XLII
THE ACCUSATIVE CASE
254. DIRECT OBJECT AND PREDICATE ACCUSATIVE
The accusative, as has been learned, is the case of the direct
object. After certain verbs, there is often found a second accu-
sative, referring to the same person or thing as the direct object,
but not in apposition to it. This second accusative is known
as the predicate accusative. It may be either a noun or an
adjective.
Rule : Verbs of making, choosing, calling, naming, and the
like may take a predicate accusative, along with the dii'ect object.
Caesarem consulem creant, they elect Caesar consul.
Eum certiorem faciunt, they inform him (literally, they make
him more certain).
i. This construction may be changed to the passive voice ;
in that case, the object becomes the subject, and the predicate accu-
sative becomes a predicate nominative .
Caesar consul creatur, Caesar is elected consul.
255. THE ACCUSATIVE OF TIME AND SPACE
Rule : The accusative is used to express duration of time and
extent of space.
Tres dies moratur, he delays three days.
Decern milia passuum secuti sunt, they followed ten miles (liter-
ally, ten thousands of paces).
256. SUBJECT OF THE INFINITIVE
Rule : The subject of the infinitive is in the accusative case.
Legatos discedere iubet, he orde?-s the envoys to depart.

LESSON XLVII
THE PARTICIPLES; THE ABLATIVE ABSOLUTE
286. THE PARTICIPLES
i. Review the participles in the different paradigms, and
learn again their meanings and declension.
2. The participle is a verbal adjective.
a. As an adjective, it agrees with the noun limited in gender,
number, and case ; as,
Miles vulneratus, the wounded soldier.
b. As a verb it may, if transitive and active, take an object ;
as,
Militem id f acientem vidi, / saw the soldier doing this.
3. Tenses
The tenses of the participle do not express time absolutely,
but relatively to the time designated by the verb on which the
participle depends.
a. The present participle represents an act as taking place
at the same time as that expressed by the verb on which it
depends.
Copias pugnantes videbo, / shall see the troops fighting ; i.e.
they will be fighting, and I shall see them.
b. The perfect participle represents an act as having taken
place at a time before that expressed by the verb on which it
depends.
Militem vulneratum vidi, / saw the (having been) wounded
soldier.
201
202 Elements of Latin
c. The future participle represents an act that is to take
place at a time later than that expressed by the verb on which
it depends. Its use, however, is confined chiefly to the active
periphrastic.
4. Uses of the Participle
The Latin frequently uses the present or perfect participle
where the English employs a dependent clause of time, cause,
condition, etc., introduced by when, after, since, because, if, al-
though, who, etc. In translating it is usually better to avoid the
literal meaning and employ such a clause. Note the following :
Militem vulneratum vidi, I saw the soldier ivho had been
wounded.
Moratus 1 tres dies discessit, after he had delayed three days, he
departed (literally, having delayed three days, he departed}.
Milites murum munientes oppugnati sunt, the soldiers were
attacked, while they were fortifying the wall (literally, the soldiers,
fortifying the wall, were attacked}.
287. THE ABLATIVE ABSOLUTE
i. In English we occasionally use such an expression as,
" The weather being disagreeable, we stayed at home."
This construction is called the nominative absolute, because
it in no way depends on any other word in the sentence, but is
entirely independent, or absolute.
2. In Latin, this construction is extremely common ; but the
absolute or independent words stand in the ablative instead of
in the nominative, and the construction is called the ablative
absolute. In its commonest form, it consists of a noun, and
either a present or perfect participle ; as,
Gallis superatis, Caesar pacem confirmavit, the Gauls having
been conquered, Caesar established peace.
1 Note that the perfect participle of a deponent verb is usually active in meaning.
The Participles; The Ablative Absolute 203
3. Like other participle constructions, the ablative absolute
is usually better translated by a dependent clause (286, 4,
above).
Hoc facto, discessit, after this had been done, he went away
(literally, this having been done, etc.).
Omnibus rebus paratis, legatos arcessemus, since everything has
been prepared, we shall summon the envoys (literally, everything
having been prepared, etc.) .
Romanis nihil timentibus, hostes impetum fecerunt, when the
Romans were fearing nothing, the enemy made the attack (liter-
ally, the Romans fearing nothing, etc.).
4. Sometimes a second noun or an adjective takes the place
of the participle.
Caesare consule, Caesar {being) consul, i.e. in the consulship of
Caesar.
Tempestate idonea, navem solvit, the weather {being) suitable,
he set sail, i.e. since the weather was suitable, he set sail.
288. VOCABULARY

THE SUBJUNCTIVE OF PURPOSE
i. Rule: The subjunctive mood is used in dependent clauses
expressing the purpose of the action of the piHncipal verb. Such
clauses are introduced by ut, that, in order that, and ne, in order
that . . . not, lest.
Venit Romam ut consul crearetur, he came to Rome that he
might be elected consul.
Fugit ne caperetur, he fled lest he shoitld be captured, in order
not to be caplu?-ed.
2. In English, the infinitive is frequently used to express
purpose ; as,
" He came to see the town."
In Latin, the infinitive must not be so used. In rendering such
an English sentence into Latin, it must be put into the form
" He came that he might see the town."

LESSON LII
RESULT; CHARACTERISTIC; RELATIVE PURPOSE
CLAUSES
314. THE SUBJUNCTIVE OF RESULT
Rule : The subjunctive is used in dependent clauses expressing
the result of the action of the principal verb. Such clauses are
introduced by ut, that, so that, and ut .1 . . non, so that . . . not.
Hostes tarn perterriti sunt ut statim fugerent, the enemy were so
terrified that they fled immediately.
Periculum erat tarn magnum ut e castris egredi non auderemus,
the danger was so great that we did not dare go out of the camp.
Note: Distinguish carefully purpose and result clauses. Negative
clauses may be distinguished by the conjunction used, — ne, for purpose ;
ut . . . non, for result. Affirmative clauses can usually be distinguished
by attention to the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
315. CLAUSES OP CHARACTERISTIC
Rule : A relative clause used to describe or characterize an ante-
cedent of indefinite meaning is called a characteristic clause, and
has its verb in the subjunctive.
Nemo est qui haec non intellegat, there is no one who does not
understand this.
316. RELATIVE CLAUSES OP PURPOSE
Rule : Clauses of Purpose may be introduced by the relative
pronoun qui.
Misi lggatum qui hanc difficultatem nuntiaret, / sent an envoy
to (who should) report this difficulty.
Note : Qui is used commonly in this construction as subject of the
dependent verb, where its antecedent is object of the principal verb.

LESSON LV
SUBSTANTIVE CLAUSES
333. i. A substantive clause is a clause which, as a whole,
is used as a noun. Note the following examples :
(i) I fear a calamity.
(2)1 fear that he will not recover.
(3) Defeat seems certain.
(4) That it will ram seems certain.
In (1) the object of the verb is calamity. In (2) cala7nity is
replaced by the clause that he will not recover, which is used as
object of the verb, like a noun, and is therefore a noun or sub-
stantive clause.
In (3) the subject of the verb is defeat. In (4) defeat is re-
placed by the clause that it will rain, which is used as subject
of the verb, like a noun, and is therefore a noun or substantive
clause.
2. In Latin, substantive clauses are commonly used as sub-
ject or object of the verb. Below are given several important
kinds which require the subjunctive.
A. Purpose Clauses
Substantive clauses of purpose, introduced by ut, that, ne,
that . . . not, are used as subject or object with verbs meaning
admonish, request, command, decide, urge, wish, desire, gra?it, and
the like.
Monet ut omnes suspiciones vitet, he advises (kirn) to avoid all
suspicions (literally, that he avoid all suspicions) .
Nobis imperat ne eamus, he commands us not to go (literally,
that we may not go).
231
232 Elements of Latin
B. Result Clauses
Substantive clauses of result, introduced by ut, that, ut . . .
non, that . . . not, are used :
1. As subject or object of verbs meaning do, accomplish, and
the like.
Efficiam ut intellegatis, / will make you understand (literally,
I will bring about thai you understand) .
2. As subject of verbs meaning it happens, it remains, it is
necessary, it follows, it is added, etc.
Accidit ut esset luna plena, it happened that the ?tioon was full.
C. Substantive Clauses with Verbs of Fearing
Substantive clauses, introduced by ne, that, lest, ut, that . . .
not, are used as subject or object of verbs meaning fear.
Timeo ut veniat, I fear that he may not co??ie.
1. Note carefully the translation of ut and ne in clauses of
this kind.
D. Indirect Questions
This clause, already given in 308, is a substantive clause used
as subject or object of verbs meaning ask, tell, etc.
Rogo quid facias, / ask what you are doing.

LESSON LVI
INDIRECT DISCOURSE
337. DIRECT AND INDIRECT DISCOURSE
The words or thoughts of a person may be quoted :
i. Directly, giving the person's exact words; as,
He said, ' ' / will come. ' '
2. Indirectly, giving the substance, but not the exact words ; as,
He said that he would come.
The former method is called " direct discourse," and the latter
" indirect discourse.''''
338. INDIRECT DISCOURSE IN LATIN
Study the following examples :
Direct
Galli vincunt, the Gauls are conquering.
Indirect
Dicit Gallos vincere, he says the Gauls to be conquering, he says
(that) the Gauls are conquering.
i. Note that, when quoted indirectly after a verb of saying,
the principal verb of a declarative sentence has become infinitive,
with the subject in the accusative case.
2. Note that the exact translation, " He says the Gauls to be
conquering'''' is very awkward. Good English requires the
second form of translation, with or without that. There is no
Latin equivalent of that.
235
236 Elements of Latin
Rule: A principal verb of a declarative sentence in direct
discourse, when ?nade indirect after a verb of. saying, thinking, know-
big, perceiving, etc., becomes infinitive with subject accusative.
339. TENSES OF THE INFINITIVE
The tenses of the infinitive, like those of the participle (286, 3),
do not express time absolutely, but relatively to the time desig-
nated by the verb on which the infinitive depends, thus :
After a Primary Tense
Dicit Gallos,
he says the Gauls
vincere, a7-e conquering.
victuros * esse, will conquer.
vicisse, have conquered.
After a Secondary Tense
Dixit Gallos,
he said the Gauls
[ vincere, were conquering.
victuros esse, would conquer.
vicisse. had conquered.
Note that
(1) The present infinitive represents an act as taking place
at the same time as that expressed by the verb on which it de-
pends.
(2) The future infinitive represents an act that is to take place
at a time later than that expressed by the verb on which it de-
pends.
(3) The perfect infinitive represents an act as having taken
place at a time before that expressed by the verb on which it
depends.
Observe carefully the differences in translation of the infini-
tive after a primary and secondary tense.
1 Accusative, to agree with the subject, Gallos.
Indirect Discourse 237
340. DEPENDENT CLAUSES IN INDIRECT DISCOURSE
Rule : In indirect discourse, all dependent clauses take the sub-
junctive, the tense depending on the verb of saying, ' etc., according
to the regular rules for the sequence of tenses.
Dicit Gallos victuros esse si pugnent, he says the Gauls will con-
quer if they fight.
Dixit Gallos victuros esse si pugnarent, he said the Gauls would
conquer if they fought.

LESSON LVII
THE INFINITIVE
344. The infinitive is a verbal noun. As a noun, it may be
used either as subject or object of a verb. As a verb, it may
have a subject, or an object, or both. The subject of the
infinitive, however, is in the accusative. (See 256.)
345. THE INFINITIVE AS SUBJECT
The infinitive, with or without a subject accusative, may be
used as the subject of est, and other verbs used impersonally.
i. Without Subject Accusative.
Errare est humanum, 1 to err is human.
2. With Subject Accusative.
Equites accedere nuntiatur, it is reported that the horsemen are
approaching (literally, the horsemen to be app?-o aching is reported}.

LESSON LVIII
CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
350. A conditional sentence consists of two clauses, a condi-
tion, usually introduced by if or unless, and a conclusion, —
thus :
If he goes, I shall stay home.
The condition or " if" clause is known as the protasis, and
the conclusion is known as the apodosis.
351. CLASSES OP CONDITIONAL SENTENCES IN LATIN
Conditions in Latin may be conveniently divided into three
classes, as follows :
I. Simple Conditions
Si pacem faciunt, obsides dant, if they make peace, they give
hostages.
Si pacem facient, obsides dabunt, if they {shall) make peace,
they will give hostages.
Si pacem fecerunt, obsides dederunt, if they made peace, they
gave hostages.
Notice that the above examples are merely suppositions in
present, future, or past time. There is nothing to indicate
whether or not the protasis is true.
Rule : In sirnple conditions, not indicating the truth or falsity
of the protasis, both clauses take the indicative.
II. Future Doubtful Conditions
Si pacem faciant, obsides dent, if they should make peace, they
243
would give hostages.
244 Elements of Latin
Notice that this is a supposition in future time, but that
the use of the present subjunctive (translated by should . . .
would) indicates doubt as to whether the protasis will come
true.
Rule : In future conditions, indicating doubt of the truth of the
protasis, both clauses take the present subjunctive, translated by
should . . . would.
III. Contrary to Fact Conditions
Si pacem f acerent, obsides darent, if they were making peace, they
would be giving hostages.
Si pacem fecissent, obsides dedissent, if they had made peace,
they would have given hostages.
Notice that the protasis of these conditions is evidently un-
true or contrary to the facts of the case. In the first example,
the imperfect subjunctive is used in both clauses, and expresses
present time. In the second example, the pluperfect subjunc-
tive is used, and expresses past time.
Rule: In contrary to fact conditions, indicating that the prot-
asis is untrue, both clauses take the subjunctive, the imperfect to
express present time, the pluperfect to express past time.

LESSON LIX
THE GERUND AND GERUNDIVE ; THE SUPINE
355. THE GERUND
The gerund is a verbal noun. As a noun, its four cases,
genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative, are used in various
case relations, while, as a verb, it may take an object.
Examples
Genitive : Amor pugnandi, love of fighting.
Consilium bellum gerendi, a plan of ivaging war.
Dative : Dixit diem colloquendo, he appointed a day for con-
ferring.
Accusative : Paratus ad proficiscendum, ready for setting out.
Ablative : Bellum gerendo, by waging war.
Note : The gerund with an object is used only in the genitive, and
in the ablative without a preposition.
356. THE GERUNDIVE
The gerundive is a verbal adjective. It is chiefly used as
follows :
i. In the passive periphrastic conjugation.
2. In what is called the gerundive construction, to avoid the
use of a direct object with the gerund. Note the following
examples :
Gerund with Direct Object :
Consilium pacem faciendi, a plan of making peace.
Gerundive Construction :
Consilium pacis faciendae, a plan of making peace (liter-
ally, of peace to be made).
247
248 Elements of Latin
(a) Notice that in the second example the noun pacis is in
the same case as the gerund in the first example, and that the
gerundive faciendae agrees with pacis.
(b) The gerundive construction is much more common than
the gerund with an object.
(c) The gerundive construction is frequently used with ad to
express purpose ; as,
Venerunt ad pacem petendam, they came to seek peace (literally,
for peace to be sought).
357. EXERCISE
Following the suggestion in 356, 2 (a), change the following
to the gerundive construction :
1. Bellum gerendl. 2. Patriam amandi. 3. Libros
scribendo.
358. THE SUPINE
1 . Rule : The supine in -um is used with verbs of motion to
express purpose.
Venerunt rogatum auxilium, they came to ask aid.
2. Rule : The supine in -u is used with facilis. difficilis, optimus,
and a feiu other adjectives as an ablative of specification.
Hae res sunt faciles factii, these things are easy to do (literally,
in respect to doing).
359. VOCABULARY

THE STORY OF THE HELVETIAN WAR
To the PUPIL: — In the following pages is given an account, largely in
Caesar's own words, of his war against the Helvetians, the first people he
subdued in Gaul.
I.
GAUL AND ITS INHABITANTS
Gallia est omnis 1 dlvlsa 2 in partes tres. Harum 3
unam 4 incolunt Belgae, 5 aliam Aqultanl, tertiam Celtae,
qui lingua 6 nostra Galli 7 appellantur. Hi omnes lingua, 8
Institutis, legibus inter se 9 differunt. Garumna flumen
Gallos ab Aqultanls 10 dividit, atque Matrona et Sequana
Gallos a Belgis dividunt.
Horum 3 omnium fortissiml sunt Belgae, propterea quod
a. cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, et
mercatores ea, 4 quae 11 ad effeminandos 12 animos perti-
nent, non important ; proximique sunt Germanis, 13 qui
trans Rhenum incolunt, quibuscum continenter bellum
gerunt. Helvetil quoque reliquos Gallos virtute 8 praece-
dunt, quod fere cotldianis proeliis G cum Germanis 14 conten-
dunt, cum aut suis finibus 10 eos prohibent aut ipsi in
eorum 15 finibus 16 bellum gerunt.

VI. THE TWO ROUTES OF DEPARTURE
Erant omnino itinera duo, quibus 1 itineribus 2 domo 3
exire possent. 4 Unum erat per Sequanos, angustum 5 et
difficile, inter montem Iuram et flumen Rhodanum quo 1
vix singull cam ducerentur 6 ; mons autem altissimus im-
pendebat ut facile perpaucl eos prohibere possent. 7 Al-
terum erat per prdvinciam nostram, multo 8 facilius, 9
propterea quod inter fines Helvetiorum et Allobrogum,
qui nuper pacati erant, Rhodanus fluit, isque nonnullls
locis 10 vado transitur. Allobroges, qui proximi Helvetiis u
sunt, nondum bono anim5 12 in populum Romanum erant.
Helvetii igitur existimabant Allobrogibus 13 sese persua-
suros esse ut per su5s fines eos Ire paterentur. Omnibus

Cum Caesar cognovisset 1 eos 2 per provinciam nostram
iter facere conari, 3 maturat 4 ab urbe proficlsci, 5 et quam
maximls 6 itineribus in Galliam ulteriorem contendit et ad 7
Genavam pervenit. Erat omnino in Gallia ulteriore legio
una. In provincia igitur quam maximum numerum militum
conscribit, et pontem, 2 qui erat ad Genavam, iubet rescind!. 8
Ubi de eius adventu Helvetii certiores 9 facti sunt, legatos
ad eum mittunt, nobilissim5s civitatis, cuius legationis
Nammeius et Verucloetius principem locum obtinebant.
Hi legatl dixerunt se velle 10 iter per provinciam facere
propterea quod aliud iter haberent u nullum. Rogaverunt
ut eius voluntate id 12 sibi 13 facere 14 liceret. 15
Caesar autem non existimabat homines inimico animo, 16
f acultate 17 data per provinciam itineris faciendi, 18 tempera-
tur5s esse ab iniuria. Tamen, quod omnes milites non-
dum convenerant, respondit se diem ad deliberandum 19

Ubi ea dies quam 9 c5nstituerat cum legatls venit, et

ulli 11 dare posse, 10 et dixit, " Si vim facere conabimini, 12
vos prohibebo." 12 Helvetii, ea spe 13 deiecti, navibus 14
ratibusque et vadis Rhodani perrumpere conati sunt.

ROUTE
Relinquebatur una per Sequanos via, qua, 1 Sequanis 2
invitis, propter angustias ire non poterant. His 3 cum ipsi
persuadere non possent, 4 Dumnorigem Haeduum mittunt 5
qui a Sequanis impetraret. 6 Dumnorix apud Sequanos
plurimum poterat 7 et Helvetiis 8 erat amicus, quod ex ea
civitate Orgetorigis filiam in matrimonium duxerat. 9 Is,
cupiditate 10 regni n adductus, novis rebus 12 studebat et
quam plurimas civitates sibi 13 arnicas 14 esse volebat. Ita-

X. CAESAR MAKES FURTHER PREPARATIONS
Caesar cognovit Helvetiis 1 esse 2 in animo per agrum
Sequanorum et Haeduorum iter in Santonum fines facere. 3
Santones non longe a Tolosatium finibus absunt, quae
civitas 4 est in provincia. Caesar nolebat provinciam 5
homines 6 bellicosos, populi Roman! inimic5s flnitimos 7
habere. Ob eas causas el munition! 8 quam fecerat,
T. Labienum 9 legatum praeficit. Ipse in Italiam magnis
itineribus 10 contendit duasque ibi legiones conscrlbit, et
tres, quae circum Aquileiam hiemabant, ex hibernis
educit et qua proximum iter in ulteriorem Galliam per
Alpes erat, cum his qulnque legionibus n Ire contendit.
Paucls diebus 12 exercitum ducit in Segusiavos, qui sunt
extra provinciam trans Rhodanum natio prima.

XL THE HAEDUI AND OTHERS ASK FOR AID
Helvetii iam per angustias et fines Sequanorum suas
copias traduxerant, et in Haeduorum fines pervenerant
eorumque agros populabantur. Haedul, cum se suaque 1
ab els defendere non possent, 2 legatos ad Caesarem mit-
tunt rogatum 3 auxilium. Dlxerunt paene in conspectu
exercitus nostrl eorum agros 4 vastarl, 5 liberos 4 in servitu-
tem abducl, 5 oppida 4 expugnarl 5 non debuisse. 6 Eodem
tempore, 7 AmbarrI, necessaril et consanguinel Haeduorum,
Caesarem certiorem 8 faciunt sese non facile ab oppidls 9
vim hostium prohibere. Item Allobroges, qui trans
262 Elements of Latin

Quibus rebus adductus, Caesar non diutius exspectandum 10
esse sibi 11 statuit.

XII. DESTRUCTION OF THE TIGURINI
Flumen est Arar, quod per fines Haeduorum et Sequa-
norum in Rhodanum Influit, incredibill lenitate, 1 ita ut oculis,
in utram partem fluat, 2 iudicari non possit. 3 Id Helvetii
ratibus 4 ac lintribus iunctis translbant. Per exploratores
Caesar certior 5 f actus est tres iam partes copiarum Hel-
vetiarum id flumen transiisse, 6 quartam fere partem citra
flumen Ararim reliquam 7 esse. 6 De tertia vigilia cum
iegionibus 8 tribus e castrls prof ectus, 9 ad earn partem per-
venit, quae nondum flumen transierat. Eos impeditos et
inoplnantes aggressus, 9 magnam partem eorum concidit ;
reliquT sese f ugae 10 mandaverunt atque in proximas silvas
abdiderunt. 11
Omnis civitas Helvetia in quattuor pagos divisa est.
Hie pagus unus, qui appellabatur Tigurinus, 12 patrum nos-

XIII. THE HELVETIAN EMBASSY; A CAVALRY BATTLE
Hoc proelio 1 facto, ut reliquas copias Helvetiorum con-
sequi posset, 2 Caesar pontem in Ararl facit 3 atque ita
exercitum traducit. Helvetii, repentlno eius 4 adventu B
commoti, 6 legatos ad eum mittunt. Hi legatl eum perter-
rere conantur, et multa 7 de virtute sua atque de calami-
tate vetere, quam Tigurlnl Cassio 8 intulerant, dlcunt.
Caesar autem postulat ut Helvetii domum 9 revertantur, 10
et alias pads condiciones accipere non vult.
Postero die 11 castra ex eo loco movent. Idem Caesar
facit, equitatumque omnem, ad numerum quattuor mi-
lium, 12 quern ex omni provincia et Haeduls atque eorum
socils coegerat, praemittit qui videant 13 quas in partes
hostes iter faciant. 14 Qui, 15 cupidius novissimum agmen

conabatur. Ita dies 7 circiter XV iter fecerunt utl inter
novissimum hostium agmen et nostrum prlmum 8 non am-

Interim Haedui copiam frumenti, quam pollicitl erant,

Dumnorigem esse virum 12 qui Haeduos deterreat, 13 ne
frumentum conferant. 14 (Dumnorix haec faciebat quod

exspectabat proelioque abstinebat, quod Caesar el n prae-
ceperat ne ante adventum ipsius proelium committeret 12

XXII. CAESAR ORDERS THE HELVETIANS TO RETURN
HOME
Quod 1 ubi Caesar resciit, quorum 2 per fines ierant, his 3
uti conquirerent et reducerent 4 imperavit; reductos 5 ~ in
hostium numero habuit ; reliquos omnes, obsidibus, armis,
perfugls traditis, in deditionem accepit. Helvetios, Tu-
lingos, Latobrigos in fines suos, unde erant profecti,
reverti 6 iussit; et quod omnibus friigibus amissis domi"
nihil erat quo 8 famem tolerarent, 9 Allobrogibus imperavit,
ut eis 10 frumenti copiam facerent; 11 ipsos oppida vicosque,
quos incenderant, restituere iussit.
Id ea maxime ratione 12 fecit, quod noluit eum locum,
unde Helvetii discesserant, vacare, ne propter bonitatem
agrorum German!, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, ex suls
flnibus in Helvetiorum fines transirent 13 et finitimi Galliae
provinciae Allobrogibusque essent. 13 B6i5s 14 petentibus
Haeduis, 15 ut in finibus suis collocarent, concessit; quibus
illi agr5s dederunt, quosque postea in parem iuris libertatis-
que condicionem, atque 16 ipsi erant, receperunt.
