[*] 182.6. in signa manipulosque, among the cohorts and maniples. In their panic the servants rushed among the ranks of the cohorts （signa） and the maniples. [*] 182.7. alii … alii: these seem to have had some presence of mind, as is implied in the expression censent, the regular expression for voting in a public assembly. [*] 182.8. quoniam … sint, since [as they say], etc. [*] 182.10. [confidunt]: may be omitted in translation, the infin. posse depending on the idea of saying involved in censent.—alii: sc. censent. [*] 182.11. hoc: the latter counsel, which was that of the raw recruits.—docuimus: cf. 180 13-15. [*] 182.13. C. Trebonio: this can hardly be the man referred to in ch. 33. He was away with the three legions intrusted to him, as there recorded. [*] 183.2. militum virtute: i.e. of the infantry; the cavalry, it will be remembered, were not Romans, but Gauls and other allies. [*] 183.3. nullo usu percepto, having gained no experience; i.e. even after seeing the successful action of the veterans. [*] 183.4. eo consilio: with ut … defenderent in app.—permanere: compl. infin. with potuerunt. [*] 183.5. quam: the antecedent is eam vim celeritatemque. [*] 183.7. demiserunt: se has already been expressed with recipere. [*] 183.8. ex inferioribus ordinibus: the officers of a new legion were usually obtained in this way, being promoted from the lower grades of veteran cohorts. [*] 183.10. ne ante partam, etc.: notice again the esprit de corps of the Roman soldier; cf. 109 1-9, 142 7-11, 146 13 ff. [*] 183.13. pars periit: two cohorts; see 184 26.
