b. Note the phrase id quod, where id stands in apposition with an entire clause; as,non suspicabatur (id quod nunc sentiet) satis multos testes nobis relrquds esse, he did not suspect (a thing whicll he will 1ZOWperceive) that we had wit1USseS enough left. Yet quod alone, without preceding Id, sometimes occurs in this use. 2. Is also in all cases serves as the personal pronoun of the third person, 'he,' 'she,' •it,' 'tltey,' 'them.' 3. When the English uses' that of,' , those of,' to avoid repetition of the noun, the Latin omits the pronoun; as,-
In exercitii Sullae et postea in Crassi fuerat, he had been £n the army of Sulla and afterward i11that of Crassus ; niilla& me fabulae delectant nisi Plauti, no plays delight me ercept those of Plautus, 4. Note the phrases et is, et ea, etc., in the sense: and that too; as,vincula, et ea sempiterna,
£mpriso1Z1JZmt,and that too perma1tC1ltly. Idem.
