wall nineteen miles_ (1151). #mātrōnae annum eum lūxērunt#, L. 2, 7, 4.

_the married women wore mourning for him a year_ (1151). (_b._) #Ancus

multitūdinem omnem Rōmam trādūxit#, L. 1, 33, 1, _Ancus moved the whole

population over to Rome_ (1157). #eōs domum remittit#, 4, 21, 6, _he

sends them home again_ (1162). For other combinations, see 1138, 1198,
