60. 1. atque, 'as.' After adjectives and adverbs denoting likeness and unlikeness, this use of atque is regular.
3. dépulsa est. See the note on 4, 26.
4. sibi. See the note on 58, 11.
11. ut … erat, 'as he had been instructed,' more literally 'as had been enjoined upon him.' An intransitive verb must be used impersonally in the passive, for it is the direct object of the active voice that becomes the subject of the passive. If the intransitive verb takes a dative in the active, this dative is kept in the passive. Notice that the corresponding English verbs are transitive, and that the dative may therefore be rendered as the object in the active construction and as the subject in the passive.
13. sénsisset. See the note on vídissent, 36, 15.
14. sibi vítam adimeret, 'take her life.' The dative of reference is thus used after some compound verbs to name the person from whom a thing is taken. This construction is sometimes called the dative of separation.
15. timóre perterritam. See the note on 14, 11.
20. eí pedés, 'his feet.' See the note on 44, 10.
21. imperásset, contracted from imperávisset.
22. in átrium. See the note on 7, 3.
