[5] Passus, constructed like ‘iactatus.’ ‘Quoque’ and ‘et’ of course form a pleonasm, though the former appears to be connected with ‘multa,’ and the latter with ‘bello.’ ‘Dum conderet’ like “dum fugeret,” G. 4. 457, where see note. Here we might render ‘in the struggle to build his city.’ So Hom. Od. 1. 4. foll., πολλὰ πάθεν . . ἀρνύμενος κ.τ.λ. The clause belongs to ‘multa bello passus,’ rather than to ‘iactatus.’
