1 Cf. Verg. Aen. 2. 546, Livy 21. 10, 11, which (like the common quid fiet) are familiar instances of uses proper only to Subjunctive forms.

2 What, by the way, is the earliest date to which we can trace the use of the name? How much earlier is it than the generation of Greek scholars who educated Cicero? Is it even so early? Varro (Ling. Lat. 10. 30, cp. 9. 25) calls it the species optandi. Prof. Lindsay's account of the Latin Grammarians, so complete in the earlier chapters of his Latin Language, seems to fail us completely in C. VIII.
