[907] Inter se might be constructed with ‘longis passibus,’ i. q. “longis passibus inter se interiectis:” but it may go with ‘absunt,’ ‘abesse’ being constructed on the analogy of “distare.” Gossrau comp. Sall. Iug. 55, “Duobus locis haud longe inter se castra faciebant”, where “longe inter se” = “longe inter se distantibus.” ‘Longis passibus’ for length of distances like “longos annos” 10. 549 (comp. by Gossrau) for length of life, the plural in each case being taken collectively.
