Problem with reading matter, page 212
Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 11:43 am
Saluēte omnēs,
I would like to ask for help with the following phrase of with the reading matter at page 212 of the book
http://www.textkit.com/files/BLD_Latin_ ... f#page=222
“Saepe erat cum patre in cūri?; quae rēs effēcit ut summ?s reī pūblicae vir?s et audīret et vidēret.?
where I’m having some difficulty in understand.
The first part is easy, “He often was with his father at the Curia,…?
But after that I can’t see to work out the meaning. D’Ooge states in the notes that this is an object clause of result, but even with this help I can’t understand.
I think that what is making me totally lost is “quae?, as I can’t see what it is. If it is a relative pronoun then it should be referring to “cūra?. If it is an indefinite pronoun then it could mean:
“… some business made Pūblius both hear and see the greatest men of the Republic.?
But somehow doesn’t seem right to me.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Andrus
