  1. 4.2.4.prsimiliumque

    The neuter plural genitive of similis used substantively ('of similar things / the like'), accompanied by the enclitic conjunction -que ('and'). It stands in parallel with seruitutis and modifies the noun timorem.

  2. 4.2.4.pradmittendum

    A gerundive in the accusative-with-infinitive construction, where esse is omitted (admittendum [esse]). It agrees in gender, number, and case with the subject accusative timorem (masculine accusative singular), expressing obligation or necessity ('should be admitted').
