+neuter+ = ne + uter (+uter = eu-ter+ or +quo-ter-us+ = comparative in form of +quis+), _neither of two_. +detrectavit+ = _declined_ (+de + traho+, draw-off). +extemplo+ = _immediately_. +Ex + templum+ (dimin. +tempulum+). +templum+ √+tem+ = cut; cf. τέμνω = prop. a _section_. So (a) a _space marked_ out, a consecrated place, a _temple_. (b) a _portion of time_; cf. _extempore_. (ii.) _Translation._--This sentence again is quite simple (in form very similar to Sentence I.), consisting of one main statement, +extemplo instructae acies+, and an introductory subordinate statement of _time_ introduced by +ut+ = _when_. _‘When the armies came in sight of each other, and neither side declined battle, the ranks were at once drawn up in fighting order.’_ [14]+III.+ +Pugnatum tamen, ut in nulla pari re, duas amplius horas, concitata et, donec dux stetisset, Romana acie.+ [Footnote 14: Weissenborn and Müller read:--Pugnatum tamen, ut in nulla pari re, _diu_: duas amplius horas con_stitit pugna spe con_citante, donec dux stetit, Romana_m_ acie_m_.] (i.) _Vocabulary._-- +concitata+ = _stirred-up_, _roused_. +con + ci-eo+; cf. _+ex-cite+_, _+incite+_, +cĭ-tus+ = _put in motion_, _swift_, &c. (ii.) _Translation._--This sentence is not quite so simple and needs care. Notice-- (a) +Pugnatum (est).+ The Impersonal Pass. serves as the principal subject and predicate. (b) +ut in nulla pari re.+ +ut+ is here not a _conjunction_ but a relative _adverb_ of manner, referring the assertion +pugnatum duas amplius horas+ to the particular circumstance--_i.e._ of a battle fought under very unequal conditions. This use of +ut+ = _considering_ occurs frequently--_e.g._ +consultissimus vir ut in illa quisquam esse aetate poterat+ (Livy). Cf. also p. 124, l. 19. [[Selection C17, “ut in re trepida”]] (c) +concitata Romana acie+ is clearly ablative absolute. To make quite sure that you understand the logical connection of the thought conveyed by this sentence, you may consult the detailed analysis on page 47. _In spite of its being such an unequal match, the battle was maintained for more than two hours; the Roman army (as well as [+et+] the enemy’s) being roused (to great exertions) so long as their leader survived._ +IV.+ +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.+ (i.) _Vocabulary._-- +dedecoris+ = of _dis-grace_, for +de+ in composition = separation, and so _removal_ of the fundamental idea. Cf. _un-_, _dis-_, _e.g._ +dis-par+ = _un_-equal. +contractae+ = _brought on_, _caused_. +con + traho+ = _bring about_, _cause_. (ii.) _Translation._--The meaning of this sentence should be quite plain to you if you notice carefully that (a) the principal verb is +fusa est+, and the principal subject +Romana acies+, and
