2198. The accusative with the infinitive is used with #iubeō# and
#vetō#, #sinō# and #patior#: as,
#mīlitēs ex oppidō exīre iussit#, 2, 33, 1, _he ordered the soldiers to
go out of the town_. #pontem iubet rescindī#, 1, 7, 2, _he orders the
bridge torn up_. #lēx peregrīnum vetat in mūrum ascendere#, _DO._ 2,
100, _it is against the law for a foreigner to get up on the wall_.
#castra vāllō mūnīrī vetuit#, Caes. _C._ 1, 41, 4, _he gave orders that
the camp should not be fortified with a palisade_. #vīnum ad sē
inportārī nōn sinunt#, 4, 2, 6, _wine they will not allow to be brought
into their country_. Cicero is the first to use #vetō# thus. Other
constructions also occur with these words: see 1708, 1950, 1953, &c.
2199. The person ordered or forbidden is often omitted, when stress is
laid on the action merely, or when the person is obvious from the
context: as, #castra mūnīre iubet#, i.e. #mīlitēs#, 2, 5, 6, _he gives
orders to construct a camp_. #iussērunt prōnūntiāre#, i.e. #tribūnōs et
centuriōnēs#, 5, 33, 3, _they gave orders to proclaim_. #īdemque
iussērunt simulācrum Iovis facere maius#, i.e. #cōnsulēs#, _C._ 3, 20,
_and they furthermore gave directions to make a statue of Jupiter,
a bigger one_.
2200. #iubeō# is sometimes coordinated with the subjunctive, especially
in old Latin (1708). Sometimes it has the subjunctive with #ut#,
especially in resolves of the people.
2201. In the passive, #iubeō#, #vetō#, and #sinō# are used personally,
the accusative of the person ordered or forbidden becoming nominative:
as, #iubentur scrībere exercitum#, L. 3, 30, 3, _they are ordered to
raise an army_. #Nōlānī mūrōs adīre vetitī#, L. 23, 16, 9, _the men of
Nola were not allowed to go to the walls_. #hīc accūsāre eum nōn est
situs#, _Sest._ 95, _this man was not allowed to accuse him_.
2202. #imperō# often has the accusative with a passive or deponent
infinitive, or with #fierī#: as, #praesentem pecūniam solvī imperāvī#,
_Att._ 2, 4, 1, _I have given orders for ready money to be paid_. Rarely
with an active infinitive parallel with a passive: as, #eō partem nāvium
convenīre commeātumque comportārī imperat#, Caes. _C._ 3, 42, 2, _he
orders part of the vessels to rendezvous there, and grain to be
brought_. In the passive, a personal #imperor# occurs, like #iubeor#
(2201): as, #in lautumiās dēdūcī imperantur#, _V._ 5, 68, _orders are
given for them to be taken to the quarries_. See also 1950. #permittō#
has sometimes the accusative with the infinitive from Tacitus on,
usually the subjunctive with #ut# (1950).
2203. The verbs of hindering, #prohibeō# and #impediō#, sometimes have
the accusative with the infinitive: as, #barbarī nostrōs nāvibus ēgredī
prohibēbant#, 4, 24, 1, _the savages undertook to prevent our people
from disembarking_. The infinitive used with #prohibeō# is usually
passive or deponent. #quid est igitur quod mē impediat ea quae
probābilia mihī̆ videantur sequī?# _Off._ 2, 8, _what is there then to
hinder me from following what seems to me to be probable?_ See also 1960
and 1977.
