6o                    THE  WRITING  OF  NARRATIVE  LATIN

dinal numeral adjective and agrees with its noun: milia, thousands,
is a numeral noun and always governs a partitive genitive. The
Roman mile was one thousand paces, mille passus, but two miles
must be written two thousands of paces, duo milia passuum. Numeral
nouns in English also govern a partitive; cf. a pair 'of gloves, a dozen
of eggs. 6. Note the double idea in ' drive ' here; hence two Latin
verbs must be used, one for ' driving out of the swamp,' the other
for ' pressing the enemy back into the forest.'    7. causa, w. gen.
