PREPOSITIONS Note-The following six lessons are devoted to the rendering of some of the more troublesome English prepositions. The Latin and English idioms differ nowhere, perhaps, so much as here; and nowhere is greater care necessary. LESSON LXV about after against among 297. about in the sense of concerning is rendered by de and the ablative: - The ambassadors spoke about peace, legati de pace dixerunt. about referring to time is rendered as follows: - about meaning in the neighborhood of (but somewhat removed) by circa or circiter with the accusative. about meaning towards, getting close to, by sub (sometimcs ad) with the accusative. about meaning during, taking out a part, before the end of, by de with the ablative. Compare the three expressions circa secundam lioram - sub noc- tem -de tertia vigilia. 298. after is generally rendered by post with the accusative, after of immediate succession is rendered by e or ex with the ablative: - Immediately after his consulship he set out, ex consulatu pro- fectus eat. after meaning coming close to, near to, is rendered by ad with the accusative: - After the manner of beasts, ad modum bestiarum. 299. against, when preceded by a verb of motion, is usually rendered by in and the accusative, and emphasizes the direction taken by the action: - Ccesar set out against the Gauls, Caesar in Gallos est profectus. against meaning contrary to, in opposition to, is rendered by contrawith the accusative and emphasizes the idea of hostility. Before names of persons we find either in or contra according to the idea to be conveyed. With in the person is the object of a feeling or act that may be either friendly or unfriendly, but contra is used only of the latter. 300.
