[*] 97.18. graviori bello, too serious a war （i.e. unmanageable）. （§ 370 (228); B. 187. iii.; G. 347; H. 429 (386); H-B. 376.） [*] 97.19. maturius, earlier, i.e. in the season. — ad exercitum: the army was now in Normandy ; see 93 28. [*] 97.20. facta: sc. esse, so with missas below. [*] 97.21. missas legationes, etc.: these infin. clauses explain ea. [*] 97.22. uti … discederent: i.e. further into Gaul. The Belgae, it will be remembered, claimed kindred with the Germans, and were no doubt ready to assist them against the Romans. [*] 97.23. postulassent: for fut. perf. of dir. disc.; § 478, 519, 585 (281, 316, 336. b); B. 264, 312. 2, 318; G. 244, 516; H. 644. 2 (525. 2); H-B. 468. 6, 536, 470. ftn. 1. — fore parata, should be made ready （used for the fut. infin. pass.）. It depends on some word of saying, like promiserunt, implied in invitatos. Instead of fore parata, we might expect fore ut pararentur. [*] 97.24. Eburonum, etc.: German tribes. [*] 97.27. permulsis, calmed from their terror （lit. soothed by stroking, like a nervous horse）.
