[6] Pars magna. Comp. 10. 426, “Lausus, Pars ingens belli,” G. 2. 40. ‘Fando,’ in the course of speaking, v. 81. Wagn. aptly refers to Livy 8. 17., 21. 34, for instances of this use of the gerund in prose, illustrating it also by an imitation of this passage in Sil. 2. 651, “quis tristia fata piorum Inperet evolvens lacrimis?” which shows that it is equivalent to the present participle.
