[*] 169.5. Dite （see § 403. a. N. 1 (244. a. R.); B. 215. 2; G. 395; H. 469. 1 (415. ii. N); H-B. 413. b.）, Pluto, the god of Darkness, or of the Underworld, meaning that they believe themselves to have sprung from the soil, the world below them. [*] 169.7. noctium, etc.: this usage is common to many primitive peoples; e.g. the Germans （Tact. Ger. II）. Our word "fortnight " is a relic of it. It doubtless had its origin in keeping time by the changes of the moon. [*] 169.9. ut … subsequatur: i.e. the calendar day began at sunset. [*] 169.10. fere （with hoc）: i.e. speaking loosely.—suos liberos, etc. The Romans, on the other hand, accustomed their sons to public life, and in early times even took them with them into the Senate. Again cum with the perf. ind. expressing repeated or customary action; cf. 168 20. Observe that this perf. becomes a present in our idiom, expressing repeated action or a general truth. [*] 169.13. turpe ducunt, they consider it disgraceful, turpe being pred. adj. agreeing with the infin. clause.
