and not deponent, in the perfect
    system.  Perf. act., reverti:\
  sequor, sequi:, secu:tus sum\, _follow_ (sequence).  Note the
    following compounds of sequor\ and the force of the different
    prefixes: 
    co:nsequor\ (_follow with_), _overtake_;
    i:nsequor\ (follow against), pursue;
    subsequor\ (_follow under_), _follow close after_

338. A number of verbs are passive in form but active in meaning; as, hortor\, _I encourage_; vereor\, I fear.  Such verbs are called deponent\ because they have laid aside (de-ponere\, to lay aside) the active forms.

a. Besides having all the forms of the passive, deponent verbs
have also the future active infinitive and a few other active forms
which will be noted later. (SecSecs. 375, 403.b.)

339. The principal parts of deponents are of course passive in form, as,

Conj.  I hortor, hortari:, hortatus sum, encourage
Conj.  II vereor, vere:ri:, veritus sum, fear
Conj.  III (a) sequor, sequi:, secu:tus sum, follow
(b) patior, pati:, passus sum, suffer, allow
Conj.  IV partior, parti:ri:, parti:tus sum, share, divide

Learn the synopses of these verbs. (See Sec. 493.) Patior\ is conjugated like the passive of capio\ (Sec. 492).

340. PREPOSITIONS WITH THE ACCUSATIVE

The prepositions with the accusative that occur most frequently are

ante, before apud, among circum, around contra:, against, contrary to extra:, outside of in, into, in, against, upon inter, between, among intra:, within ob, on account of (quam ob rem, wherefore, therefore) per, through, by means of post, after, behind propter, on account of, because of tra:ns, across, over

    a. Most of these you have had before.  Review the old ones and
    learn the new ones.  Review the list of prepositions governing the
    ablative, Sec. 209.

341. EXERCISES

First learn the special vocabulary, p. 298.

I. 1.  Tres ex legatis, contra Caesaris opinionem, iter facere per hostium finis verebantur. 2.  Quis eos hortatus est?  Imperator eos hortatus est et iis persuadere conatus est, sed non potuit. 3.  Quid legatos perterruit?  Aut timor hostium, qui undique premebant, aut longitudo viae eos perterruit. 4.  Tamen omnes fere Caesarem multo magis quam hostis veriti sunt. 5.  Fortissimae gentes Galliae ex Germanis oriebantur. 6.  Quam ob rem tam fortes erant?  Quia nec vinum nec alia quae virtutem delent ad se portari patiebantur. 7.  Caesar ex mercatoribus de insula Britannia quaesivit, sed nihil cognoscere potuit. 8.  Itaque ipse statuit hanc terram petere, et media fere aestate cum multis navibus longis profectus est. 9.  Magna celeritate iter confecit et in opportunissimo loco egressus est. 10.  Barbari summis viribus eum ab insula prohibere conati sunt. 11.  Ille autem barbaros multa milia passuum insecutus est; tamen sine equitatu eos consequi non potuit.
