With peace secured in Liguria, the consul disbanded his legions and toured the Gallic province, while the senate and the consul, wary of the Illyrian king Gentius, dispatched forces to Illyricum, where Appius Claudius raised additional troops and encamped at Lychnidus.
in Liguribus eo anno nihil memorabile gestum. nam nec hostes moverunt arma, neque consul in agrum eorum legiones induxit;
In Liguria, nothing memorable was done that year. For neither did the enemy take up arms, nor did the consul lead his legions into their territory;
et satis explorata pace eius anni milites duarum legionum Romanarum intra dies sexaginta, quam in provinciam venit,1 dimisit.
and having sufficiently assured himself of the peace of that year, he disbanded the soldiers of the two Roman legions within sixty days of his arrival in the province.
sociorum nominis Latini exercitu mature in hiberna Lunam et Pisas deducto ipse cum equitibus Galliae provinciae pleraque oppida adit.
When the army of the allies and the Latin name had been led early into winter quarters at Luna and Pisae, he himself with the cavalry visited most of the towns of the Gallic province.
nusquam alibi quam in Macedonia bellum erat. suspectum tamen Gentium, Illyriorum regem, habebant.
Nowhere else than in Macedonia was there war. Nevertheless, they held Gentius, the king of the Illyrians, under suspicion.
itaque et2 octo navis ornatas a Brundisio senatus censuit mittendas ad C. Furium legatum Issam, qui cum praesidio duarum Isensium navium insulae praeerat — duo milia militum in eas naves sunt inposita, quae M. Raecius praetor ex senatus consulto in ea parte Italiae, quae obiecta Illyrico est, conscripsit3 —
Therefore, the senate decreed both that eight equipped ships should be sent from Brundisium to the legate Gaius Furius at Issa, who with a guard of two Issaean ships was in charge of the island — two thousand soldiers were put on board these ships, whom the praetor Marcus Raecius had enlisted by decree of the senate in that part of Italy which lies opposite Illyricum —
, et consul Hostilius Ap. Claudium in Illyricum cum quattuor milibus peditum misit, ut accolas Illyrici tutaretur.
, and that the consul Hostilius should send Appius Claudius into Illyricum with four thousand infantry, in order to protect the inhabitants bordering on Illyricum.
qui non contentus iis, quas adduxerat, copiis4 auxilia ab sociis conrogando ad octo milia hominum ex vario genere armavit peragrataque omni ea regione ad Lychnidum Dassaretiorum consedit.
He, not content with the forces he had brought, by requisitioning auxiliary troops from the allies, armed about eight thousand men of various kinds, and having traversed all that region, encamped at Lychnidus in the territory of the Dassaretii.
- 43.9.2quam in provinciam venit
The conjunction quam is used here in the sense of postquam ('after'), and in combination with the preceding intra dies sexaginta, it expresses the time frame 'within sixty days after he arrived in the province.'
- 43.9.5et... et...
The correlative et... et... (the first et at the beginning of section 5 and the second at the beginning of section 6) coordinates the decree of the senate (sending eight ships) and the action of the consul (sending Appius Claudius).
- 43.9.5quae M. Raecius praetor ex senatus consulto in ea parte Italiae, quae obiecta Illyrico est, conscripsit
The relative pronoun quae semantically modifies the soldiers (milites) but grammatically agrees in gender and number with the neuter plural noun milia (part of milia militum), serving as the accusative object of the transitive verb conscripsit.
- 43.9.7non contentus iis, quas adduxerat, copiis
The noun copiis, which is the antecedent of the relative pronoun quas, is attracted into the relative clause and placed at its end. Structurally, it is equivalent to iis copiis, quas adduxerat ('with those forces which he had brought').
