Notes

11.51.1οἱ δὲ τὸν ἑξῆς ὑπατεύσαντες ἐνιαυτὸν — An elliptic directory-style construction with the copula (such as ἦσαν) omitted. The participle phrase functioning as the subject, 'those who served as consuls for the following year', is set in apposition to the proper names acting as predicates.
11.51.1παρὰ τούτων — The preposition παρὰ with the genitive denotes source or transmission ('from'), indicating the succession of the office (τὴν ἀρχὴν) from the previous year's consuls.
