18. 4. cadáver. The subject of an infinitive stands in the accusative case. We might translate here 'and gave orders that his body should be thrown.' See the note on 16, 17.
6. míra rérum commútátió. When a noun has both an adjective and a genitive modifier, this order of the words is common.
7. cum cruciátú, ablative of manner.
necáverat. See the note on interfécit, 13, 18.
10. referébant. See the note on 6, 16.
modo. This is the adverb, not a case of modus, the dative and ablative singular of which would be modó. Make a practice of carefully observing the quantity of vowels.
11. órábant. Notice that this verb, like imperó and postuló, takes ut and the subjunctive.
14. ad návigandum. See the note on ad quiétem, 14, 1.
16. post, here an adverb of time.
18. dícitur. Notice that the Latin construction is personal ('the nation is said to have consisted'), while English commonly has the impersonal construction ('it is said that the nation consisted').
