- 7.90.2quae imperaret
The subjunctive imperfect is used because it is a subordinate clause within indirect speech (introduced by "pollicentur se facturos"). The tense is aligned with the historic present "pollicentur".
- 7.90.7Cabilloni et Matiscone
Locational expressions. "Cabilloni" is the locative of the second-declension "Cabillonum", while "Matiscone" is the ablative of the third-declension "Matisco". Despite having different case forms, they are coordinated to express the same locative meaning: "at Cabillonum and Matisco".
- 7.90.7dierum viginti
Genitive of quality or measure, modifying the noun "supplicatio" to mean "a thanksgiving of twenty days".
