Sentence IV.—
(i.) The Oratio Obliqua of the original he renders partly as Reported Speech and partly as Oratio Recta. This is, of course, to be avoided. Contrast the rendering given under Sentence IV.
Sentence III.—
(ii.) Is perfunctus . . . darentur. He uses too many participles. Contrast version under Sentence III.
Sentences VI., VII.—
(iii.) He translates data pro quinque . . . substiterat by one long sentence, instead of breaking it up into two at least.

Sentence IV.—
Se peritum . . . usurum. He confuses pretium with praemium, operae with rei publicae (?). He should have been familiar with the phrase operae pretium.
inventorem he renders by enemy; perhaps a careless mistake, as if the word were inimicum (which after all does not = hostem).
