_adhibendum_--the term _inhibeo_ occurs frequently in this sense, as below, _imperioque inhibendo_.

The adjective _imminutis_ also refers evidently to _honoris insignibus_ .-- _Stroth._] [Footnote 141: The words are, _quum et ipsi invisum consensu imperium, et plebs, quid privatis jus non esset vocandi senatum, non convenire patres interpretarentur_, i.e.while, on the one hand, the decemvirs themselves accounted for the staying away of the senators from the meeting, by the fact of their (the decemvirs') government being disliked by them; whilst, on the other hand, the commons accounted for the non-appearance of the senators by the fact, that being now mere private citizens, their time of office being passed, they (the decemvirs) had no right whatever to convene the senate .-- _Stroth._] [Footnote 142: The senators were obliged to attend the meeting of the senate when convened by the magistrate; otherwise a fine was imposed, to insure the payment of which pledges were exacted, which were sold in case of non-payment.

who differed in no other respect from mere private citizens, except that they had recourse to violence, which it was competent for the magistrate only to do.] 39.
