56.17.

constituerunt here has two objects: (1) optimum esse, etc. (indir. disc.), (2) [ut] convenirent (subst. clause of purpose); see § 580. d (332. h); B. 295. 1 and N.; G. 546. R. I; H. 565. 5 (498. 1. N.); H-B. 589. a; and note on 2 15. The subject of esse is the infin. clause quemque reverti§ 452 (330); B. 330; G. 422; H. 615 (538); H-B. 585). Thus the confederacy dissolves into a mere defensive alliance, and all the members are cut to pieces in detail. — domum: § 427. 2 (258. b); B. 182. 1. b; G. 337; H. 419. 1 (380. 2. 1); H-B. 450. b.
