_Modum Promissionis_ (Vol. ii., pp 279. 347.).--Your correspondent C. H.
has not solved my difficulty as to _modum promissionis_. In the hope that
he, or others, will still kindly endeavour to do so, I subjoin the context
in which it stands:--
"Noluit Jethro legem posteris figere: sed, quoad quietam stationem
adeptus esset populus, remedium præsentibus incommodis, atque (ut vulgo
loquitur) modum promissionis ostendit."
