the sentence. (^) possit is the present subjunctive of posse, 76 ;

differ from that of potest ; its meaning is to be completed by adire
suggested by the following adeat. What is the object of this adire ?

2. adeat: present subjunctive with volitive meaning ; cf. model
sentences at the beginning of this lesson ; here it is a substantive

use as adeat.
4. ut . . . fidem sequantur : (a) that they seek the protection, to
seek the protection, (b) A substantive volitive clause, the object
of hortetur; cf. ut . . . revertatur, 112, ut . . . permaneant, 125,
and adeat, just above ; note that such verbs are used as the
objects of verbs of commanding, urging, and those of similar
meaning, {c) The ut introducing such verbs is not necessary,
and very often is not found ; cf. adeat.

ning with quantum, to that man who, to a man who,
