(iii.) He translates +data pro quinque ... substiterat+ by one long sentence, instead of breaking it up into two at least. II. _Vocabulary._ _Sentence IV._-- +Se peritum ... usurum.+ He confuses +pretium+ with +praemium+, +operae+ with +rei publicae+ (?). He should have been familiar with the phrase +operae pretium+. +inventorem+ he renders by _enemy_; perhaps a careless mistake, as if the word were +inimicum+ (which after all does not = +hostem+). _Sentence V._-- +stolide+ he renders by _faithfully_. A moment’s thought given to the English word _stolid_ should have put him on the right track. _Sentence VII._-- +concivit+ he renders by _got_, vague and inappropriate. He fails to bring out the root-meaning of +cieo+ = _to stir up_. III. _Construction._ _Sentence I._-- This is very bad. _Analysis_ would at once have shown him that the logical order of the sentence was +Alia fortuna bene gerendae rei oblata est Hannibali in his locis+, though he might not see that +in his locis+ must be closely connected with +oblata est+. _Sentence IV._-- +brevi operae pretium facturum.+ Very bad: due probably to not carefully weighing the meaning of each word. You will now see that a strict attention to analysis and to the root-meanings of words really familiar would have enabled this candidate to send up a good version. DEMONSTRATION IV. PART II. _Rashness justly punished._ Haud dubia res est, quippe inter Hannibalem ducem et centurionem; exercitusque, alterum vincendo veteranum, alterum novum totum, magna ex parte etiam tumultuarium et semiermem. |I| Ut conspecta inter se agmina sunt, et neutra pars detrectavit pugnam, extemplo instructae acies. |II| Pugnatum tamen, ut in nulla pari re, duas amplius horas, concitata et, donec dux stetisset, Romana acie. |III| Postquam is non pro vetere fama solum, sed etiam metu futuri dedecoris, si sua temeritate contractae cladi superesset, obiectans se hostium telis cecidit, fusa extemplo est Romana acies. |IV| Sed adeo ne fugae quidem iter patuit omnibus viis ab equite insessis, ut ex tanta multitudine vix mille evaserint, ceteri passim alii alia peste absumpti sint. |V| LIVY. _Rashness justly punished._ [Transcriber’s Note: The braces around the “Postquam...” clause are in the original.]
