CHAPTER  I

The mtctual dependence of mind and body

1.   Omnis : the regular ace. plu., -is, of third declension vowel stems is re¬
tained alongside of -es in nouns, adjs. and parties, in decreasing proportion
until the Augustan period, after which it is found occasionally in adjs. and
more often in parUcs. *G. 38. 3, 57, R. 5, 79, N. 2 ; G. (S.) 57, R. 4, %2>^ r. 2 ;
H. 107. 4 and 6 ; A. 77 ; B. 37, 40, 67 a. sese student praestare: an ex¬
ample of Sallust's use of the unusual; the simple inf. is more natural when
the subjects are the same: sese emphasizes the subject.    V 3 (i).

2.   vitam . . . transeant: an unusual combination : vitam degere is
more frequent. §§ 17,141; V 2 (5) a. silentio: i.e. in inactivity and so un¬
noticed.    § 70.

3.   prona:  i.e.with faces to the ground.

4.   nostra : emphatic position, contrasted with pecora. in animo et
corpore sita est : our every activity depends upon mind as tvell as body. § 172.

5.   magis : we let the mind rule and the body serve, rather than live as
cattle, alterum . . . alterum refer to animi imperio and corporis serviti5
rather than to imperio and servitio.    § 94.

7. ingeni : nouns of the second declension in -ius and -ium have the gen.
sing, for the most part in -i instead of -ii until the first century A.D., ivithout
change of accent.    G. "i^t^, R. I ;   H. 83. 6 ;   A. 49 b ;   B. 25. 2.

9. quam maxume longam : for the more usual longissumam ; wSallust
has many examples of this. V 2 (5) b. The spelling maxume for maxime
is in keeping with Sallust's effort after archaic effects.    V i (4).

10. virtus here means mental prowess (animi imperio, ingeni . . . opi¬
bus gloriam) rather than valor or bravery, meanings so common in Caesar.
