In Orberg LLPSI Cap XXXVII ' alii donum Graecorum suspectum in mare praecipitandum et flammis urendum esse censebant.
Censebant + Gerundivium? 'others thought thought that the suspicious Greek gift should be thrown into the sea and consumed with fire...
It makes sense but I was under the impression that gerundives were stand alone and didn't require any auxiliary verb..?
Censebant + Gerundive

Re: Censebant + Gerundive
Gerundivus modus cum esse verbo (praecipitandum esse—praecipitandum est, urendum esse—urendum est) oratione obliquâ:
"Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem delendam esse" vel "Delenda est Carthago" vel "Carthage must be destroyed"
"Ceterum autem censeo Carthaginem delendam esse" vel "Delenda est Carthago" vel "Carthage must be destroyed"
I'm writing in Latin hoping for correction, and not because I'm confident in how I express myself. Latinè scribo ut ab omnibus corrigar, non quod confidenter me exprimam.
