the Tolosates, a state which is in our province._ c) When the logical antecedent is a superlative; as,-- Themistocles de servis suis, quem habuit fidelissimum, misit, _Themistocles sent the most trusty slave he had_. d) In expressions of the following type-- qua es prudentia; quae tua est prudentia, _such is your prudence_ (lit. _of which prudence you are; which is your prudence_). 5. The Relative is never omitted in Latin as it is in English. Thus _the boy I saw_ must be puer quem vidi. 6. The Relative is used freely in Latin, particularly at the beginning of a sentence, where in English we employ a demonstrative; as,-- quo factum est, _by this it happened_; quae cum ita sint, _since this is so_; quibus rebus cognitis, _when these things became known_. 7. The Relative introducing a subordinate clause may belong grammatically to a clause which is subordinate to the one it introduces; as,-- numquam digne satis laudari philosophia poterit, cui qui pareat, omne tempus aetatis sine molestia possit degere, _philosophy can never be praised enough, since he who obeys her can pass every period of life without annoyance_ (lit. _he who obeys which, etc._). Here cui introduces the subordinate clause possit and connects it with philosophia; but cui is governed by pareat, which is subordinate to possit. INDEFINITE PRONOUNS. 252. 1. Quis, _any one_, is the weakest of the Indefinites, and stands usually in combination with si, nisi, ne, num; as,-- si quis putat, _if any one thinks_. 2. Aliquis (adj. aliqui) is more definite than quis, and corresponds usually to the English _some one_, _somebody_, _some_; as,-- nunc aliquis dicat mihi, _now let somebody tell me_; utinam modo agatur aliquid, _oh that something may be done_. 3. Quidam, _a certain one_, is still more definite than aliquis; as,-- homo quidam, _a certain man_ (i.e., _one whom I have in mind_). a. Quidam (with or without quasi, _as if_) is sometimes used in the sense: _a sort of_, _kind of;_ as,-- cognatio quaedam, _a sort of relationship_; mors est quasi quaedam migratio, _death is a kind of transfer as it were_. 4. Quisquam, _any one_, _any one whoever_ (more general than quis), and its corresponding adjective ullus, _any_, occur mostly in negative and conditional sentences, in interrogative sentences implying a negative, and in clauses o
