LESSON LXXXIII.

SPECIAL WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS.

426. Such words as property, duty, business, mark, characteristic, after the verb to be, are generally omitted in rendering into Latin, as their force is fully expressed in the Predicate Genitive:

It is the duty of a judge, judicis est. It is the mark of a narrow mind, angusti animi est.

427. Substantives after as, when, for, of, are often rendered by Appositives, the particles as, when, etc., being omitted. See Model II.

428. But in such cases, as is sometimes rendered by ut, and then the appositive shows in what capacity or light the person or thing denoted by the leading substantive is viewed. See Model III.

429. While the relation denoted by the preposition of is generally rendered by the Genitive, that denoted by some other prepositions, as to, for, from, in, on account of, is sometimes so rendered:

Gratitude for a favor, beneficii gratia. Escape from labors, labōrum fuga. See above, 413, Model II.

LESSON LXXXIV.

RENDERING OF CERTAIN NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES.

434. In English, Adjectives are used substantively only in the Plural, but in Latin they are occasionally so used even

in the Singular, especially in the Neuter with an abstract

sense:

The truth, verum (a true thing). No sincerity, nihil sincēri (nothing of the sincere).

435. Proper names of places, when used with of or from to designate nativity or origin, are usually rendered by Latin Adjectives:

Archytas of Tarentum, Archytas Tarentinus. Gorgias of Leontini, Gorgias Leontinus. See G. 441, 5.

437. The English expressions, the first part of, the middle (part) of, the last part of, the highest part of, the lowest part of, and the like, are generally rendered by Latin Adjectives:

The first part of the province, prima provincia. The middle of summer, media aestas. See G. 441, 6.

438. Substantives, which designate persons as the agents of actions, may often be best rendered into Latin by Relative Clauses:

Hearers, ii qui audiunt (those who hear). Statesmen, ii qui rei publicae praesunt (those who preside over the republic). Lawgivers, ii qui leges scribunt (those who write laws).

439. Participial nouns and verbal nouns with of, should generally be rendered into Latin by a Passive Participle or a Gerund:
