mirum in modum

[pmda]

In Orberg LLPSI:

...nam sicut ille mirum in modum servatus est.

= ...nam sicut ille servatus est in modum mirum.

'Mirum' adiectivum masculinum accusativum (?)

[adrianus]

Ita est, ut dicis, pmda.

[pmda]

nam sicut ille mirum in modum servatus est, cum iam de salute desperaret, ita homines nonnumquam conta spem e maximis periculis eripiuntur.

...actually revisiting this on my quick review of LLPSI Pars I, it seems that 'mirum' must qualify 'modum' and, therefore, must be neuter accusative singular.

I translate it as follows: For just as he was saved in this surprising way, when he had already despaired of life, not a few men have against hope been rescued in this way from the greatest danger'.

[Sceptra Tenens]

No, modus is masculine

[pmda]

oops.. Of course... The longer I study the less I know.

But it is qualified in the accusative masculine by 'mirum' right?

[Sceptra Tenens]

Yep!

We all slip from time to time. The longer we study, the more pebbles on the hill to trip us up.
