[1] _rem gerere_= generally to manage one's affairs. Then

specially—(1) to do business (of commercial men); (2) to administer

one's estate; (3) to hold a command (of a general in the field). _res

gerere_ plur. = to carry out, accomplish undertakings, used specially

of political activity.

[2] _frugi_ is an old case-form (either locative or dative) from an

obsolete nominative _frux_. Cf. _bonae frugi esse_, to be useful; _ad

bonam frugem se recipere_, to come to one's senses (Cael. 12. 28).

[3] _res moventes_; _movere_ is apparently sometimes used

intransitively, e.g. _terra movet_ (Liv. 35. 40; 40. 59), but here

_moventes_ is probably the participle of the middle _moveri_ (cf. _res

quae MOVERI possunt_). For parallel examples of a middle verb with a

participle present or a gerundive cf. Fin. 2. 10. 31 _utra voluptate

stante an movente?_ Suet. Claud. 28 _lecticam per urbem vehendi ius_;

Or. 2. 71. 287 _ceteris in campo exercentibus_, etc.
