Postremo deserunt tribunal, ut quis...

Postremo...armorum: f. The accusative in later writers is sometimes used in apposition with a clause:— “dēserunt tribūnal ... manūs intentantēs, causam discordiae et initium armōrum ” (Tac. Ann. 1.27) , they abandon the tribunal shaking their fists,— a cause of dissension and the beginning of war. [*] Note.--This construction is an extension (under Greek influence) of a usage more nearly within the ordinary rules, such as,Eumenem prōdidēre Antiochō, “pācis mercēdem” (Sall. Ep. Mith. 8) , they betrayed Eumenes to Antiochus, the price of peace. [Here Eumenes may be regarded as the price, although the real price is the betrayal.] Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar for Schools and Colleges J. B. Greenough, G. L. Kittredge, A. A.
