5. Quasi with the subjunctive (assumed reason):
eum accūsantēs, quasi Numitōris agrōs īnfēstāre solitus esset, [I, 28]; Is cum īrātus ad mortem dūcī iussisset mīlitem, quasi (because, as was supposed,) interfēcisset commīlitōnem, [XIII, 65].
Note.—These clauses resemble those in 4, as giving the reason ascribed to some one other than the writer. They show also that the reason is fictitious, and invented by the person who advances it.
