A few more comments/questions for consideration, please:

Chap 31
SA
12 After "slaves", add "of the laws"?

Chap 33
Your loss, my gain
After "me listening, said" add "laughing"?

Chap 34
P&R
2 Change "crimes which you had" to "crimes as serious as you had"?
3 Typo: Change "rich a fair" to "rich and fair"?
16 Change "nos non secuti" to "nos secuti" and change "navis" to "naves"?

SA
9 Change "I shall attain" to "I have attained"?

On Lesbia's husband

I'm on the home straight now, hoping to complete Chaps 36 to 40 in November. But that is only the end of the beginning!! - there's a lot more ahead.

Thanks again to all contributors for making Textkit such a great resource!!

Valete amici,

Thank you once again. You have been my primary reviewer of the higher chapters and I am very grateful for all the help you have given. Now, I think it's about time to get a new version out!

Chap 34
P&R
16 Change "nos non secuti" to "nos secuti" and change "navis" to "naves"?
I was using the -is accusative plural which Wheelock does mention, but much too quickly and only in footnotes. navis, -is typically prefers the pure i-stem forms (-im acc. sing., -i abl. sing., -is acc. plur.) so I am inclined to leave it.
SA
13 Change "breast" to "breasts"?
I think I left it in the singular just to avoid the awkwardness, but I will put the s in parentheses next time ;)
