Not illustrated. 1891 Excerpt: ... datis... obsidibus: see c. 9, 2. 6. beneficiis, favours from Rome, vetere, i. e. his already established possession of it. 7. ideo, etc., 'for this reason only had Vologeses as yet made no movement.' Dr. notes that 'commoveri' is used where older writers would say ' commovere helium, ' e.g. 12. 55, 1; 14. 3J, 4. 8. causa, ' by right' so used, answering to ' aequitate, ' in 15. 2, 3. mallent, speaking for himself as well as Vologeses. 10. clade Romana, the defeats of Crassus and Antonius: see 2. 1,2. 11.
