spicabatur (id quod nunc sentiet) satis multos testes nobis reliquos esse, _he did not suspect (a thing which he will now perceive) that we had witnesses enough left_. Yet quod alone, without preceding id, sometimes occurs in this use. 2. Is also in all cases serves as the personal pronoun of the third person, '_he_,' '_she_,' '_it_,' '_they_,' '_them_.' 3. When the English uses '_that of_,' '_those of_,' to avoid repetition of the noun, the Latin omits the pronoun: as,-- in exercitu Sullae et postea in Crassi fuerat, _he had been in the army of Sulla and afterward in that of Crassus_; nullae me fabulae delectant nisi Plauti, _no plays delight me except those of Plautus_. 4. Note the phrases et is, et ea, etc., in the sense: _and that too_; as,-- vincula, et ea sempiterna, _imprisonment, and that too permanently_. Idem. 248. 1. Idem in apposition with the subject or object often has the force of _also_, _likewise_; as,-- quod idem mihi contigit, _which likewise happened to me_ (lit. _which, the same thing_); bonus vir, quem eundem sapientem appellamus, _a good man, whom we call also wise_. For idem atque (ac), _the same as_, see Sec. 341, 1. c. Ipse. 249. 1. Ipse, literally _self_, acquires its special force from the context; as,-- eo ipso die, _on that very day_; ad ipsam ripam, _close to the bank_; ipso terrore, _by mere fright_; valvae se ipsae aperuerunt, _the doors opened of their own accord_; ipse aderat, _he was present in person_. 2. The reflexive pronouns are often emphasized by the addition of ipse, but ipse in such cases, instead of standing in apposition with the reflexive, more commonly agrees with the subject; as,-- secum ipsi loquuntur, _they talk with themselves_; se ipse continere non potest, _he cannot contain himself_ 3. Ipse is also used as an Indirect Reflexive for the purpose of _marking a contrast or avoiding an ambiguity_; as,-- Persae pertimuerunt ne Alcibiades ab ipsis descisceret et cum suis in gratiam rediret, _the Persians feared that Alcibiades would break with them and become reconciled with his countrymen_; ea molestissime ferre debent homines quae ipsorum culpa contracta sunt, _men ought to chafe most over those things which have been brought about by their own fault_ (as opposed to the fault of others).
