32.21.

quiessent: § 592. 3 (341. d); B. 323; G. 650; H. 643 (524); H-B. 535. 1. a. The following passage is a good example of what is called informal indir. disc. The formal indir. disc. introduced by a verb of saying has the main clause in the infin. and dependent clauses in the subjv. But often the verb of saying and the thing said are expressed together in some one word or phrase, as here questum. In such cases the dependent clauses have the subjv. just as in formal indir. disc.; cf. 13 17, 15 2, 16 24 for similar examples.
