reason, and hence take the Subjunctive; as,-- id feci, non quod vos hanc defensionem desiderare arbitrarer, sed ut omnes intellegerent, _this I did, not because I thought you needed this defense, but that all might perceive_; Crasso commendationem non sum pollicitus, non quin eam valituram apud te arbitrarer, sed egere mihi commendatione non videbatur, _I did not promise a recommendation to Crassus, not that I did not think it would have weight with you, but because he did not seem to me to need recommendation_. c. But clauses introduced by non quod, non quia take the Indicative _if they state a fact_, even though that fact is denied to be the reason for something; as,-- hoc ita sentio, non quia sum ipse augur, sed quia sic existimare nos est necesse, _this I think, not because I am myself an augur (which I really am), but because it is necessary for us to think so_. 2. Cum causal regularly takes the Subjunctive; as,-- quae cum ita sint, _since this is so_; cum sis mortalis, quae mortalia sunt, cura, _since you are mortal, care for what is mortal_. a. Note the phrase cum praesertim (praesertim cum), _especially since;_ as,-- Haeduos accusat, praesertim cum eorum precibus adductus bellum susceperit, _he blamed the Haedui, especially since he had undertaken the war at their entreaties_. 3. Quando (less frequent than the other causal particles) governs the Indicative; as,-- id omitto, quando vobis ita placet, _I pass over that, since you so wish_. Temporal Clauses introduced by _Postquam_, _Ut_, _Ubi_, _Simul ac_, etc. 287. 1. Postquam (posteaquam), _after_; ut, ubi, _when_; cum primum, simul, simul ac (simul atque), _as soon as_, when used to refer _to a single past act_ regularly take the Perfect Indicative; as,-- Epaminondas postquam audivit vicisse Boeotios, 'Satis' inquit 'vixi,' _Epaminondas, after he heard that the Boeotians had conquered, said, 'I have lived enough;'_ id ut audivit, Corcyram demigravit, _when he heard this, he moved to Corcyra_; Caesar cum primum potuit, ad exercitum contendit, _Caesar, as soon as he could, hurried to the army_; ubi de Caesaris adventu certiores facti sunt, legatos ad eum mittunt, _when they were informed of Caesar's arrival, they sent envoys to him_. a. The Historical Present may take the place of the Perfect in th
