Assessment of Dictator Marcus Furius Camillus

Notes

1. 8ὅτι — The introductory ὅτι commonly found at the beginning of passages in Byzantine excerpts (Excerpta), serving to introduce a summary or quotation ("That..."). It is translated here as a standard declarative sentence for natural readability.
2. 8τῶν κατὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ἀκμασάντων ἡλικίαν — The participle ἀκμασάντων (from ἀκμάζω, "to be at one's prime", in the genitive plural) with the article τῶν functions as a partitive genitive defining the group compared with the superlatives ("of those who flourished"). It is modified by the prepositional phrase κατὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ἡλικίαν ("at the same age").
3. 8τά τε πολέμια ... τὰ πολιτικὰ — Accusatives of respect (adverbial accusatives in the neuter plural), meaning "with respect to military matters" and "with respect to political affairs," which modify the superlative adjectives λαμπρότατος and φρονιμώτατος respectively.
