(ita effudit ut … permoveret … ferrent: consecutive sentrence, the ut or result clause requiring subjunctive) hanc sui famam ea statim contione commoverat, qua recitatis Vespasiani epistulis (ea …contione, qua recitatis Vespasiani epistulis: cf. Book 2, ch. 82.) non ut plerique incerta disseruit, huc illuc tracturus interpretatione, prout conduxisset: (non …incerta disseruit, huc illuc tracturus interpretatione, prout conduxisset: ‘he did not use ambiguous words, [like] one going to lead now here now there in their interpretation, according as it might have served his purpose’; prout conduxisset: the subject is an impersonal ‘it’; the potential pluperfect subjunctive espresses hypothetical probability in the past.) aperte descendisse in causam videbatur, eoque gravior militibus erat culpae vel gloriae socius.
