   (g)    When the principal action takes place during the action of the dependent clause: qui cum unum jam et alterum diem desideraretur, neque in eis locis inveniretur ... liberti Asuvii in eum invadunt, etc., Cic. Clu. 13, 38.—
   5    For the perf. indic. instead of pluperf. subj. v. C. 1. d. infra.
   C In adverbial clauses of coincident time dependent on preterites ( = eo tempore quo), the clause with cum designating the time at which or during which the main action took place, when, as, while.[The theory of the use of tenses and moods in these clauses is not fully settled. The older grammarians require the indicative if cum denotes pure time, but the subjunctive if denoting cause or relations similar to cause. Zumpt and others acknowledge that the rule is frequently not observed, attributing this to the predilection of the Latin language for the subjunctive. Recently Hoffmann (Zeitpartikeln der Lateinischen Sprache, 1st ed. 1860; 2d ed. 1873) and Lübbert (Syntax von Quom, 1870) have advanced the theory that cum requires the indicative if denoting absolute time, but the subjunctive if denoting relative time. They define absolute time as time co-ordinate or parallel with, or logically independent of, the time of the principal action, which performs the function of a chronological date for the principal action, and they consider it as a criterion that the clause might have constituted an independent sentence; while relative time is logically subordinate to the principal action. Hoffmann condenses his theory in the following words: cum with indicative names and describes the time at which the action of the principal sentence took place; cum with the subjunctive, on the contrary, designates the point of time at which, or the space of time during which, the action expressed in the principal sentence commenced or ended. The chief objections to this theory are: (1) Its vagueness.—(2) The facts that in many instances cum with the subjunctive clearly dates the main action (C. 3. a. β, 2, and 4.; C. 3. a. 5.; C. 3. b. β, 3. and 5.; C. 3. b. γ infra); that many of the subjunctive clauses with cum may be transformed into independent sentences (C. 3. b. β, 2. and 3. infra); that many indicative clauses with cum are logically subordinate to the main action (C. 3. a. α, 2. infra), and that when both moods are used in two co-ordinated clauses with cum belonging to the same main sentence, Hoffmann must account for the difference of the moods by explanations not drawn from his theory (Cic. Agr. 2, 64, 64; id. Clu. 30, 83; id. Div. 1, 43, 97; id. Fin. 2, 19, 61; id. de Or. 67, 272; Caes. B. C. 2, 17; Liv. 6, 40, 17; 30, 44, 10).—(3) The impossibility of clearly drawing the line between logical co-ordination and subordination; and the fact that, wherever it is drawn, there will be many passages not accounted for (cf. 1. init. and many passages under C. 3. a. α, 3.; C. 3. a. δ; C. 3. b. γ, etc.).—(4) That the supposed use of cum with the imperfect indicative is inconsistent with the received doctrine that the imperfect always designates a time relative to another time—a difficulty not satisfactorily met by Hoffman's assumption of an aoristic imperfect.]GENERAL RULE.—The predicate after cum is in the perfect indicative (or historical present) if the action is conceived as a point of time coincident with the time of the main action. It is either in the imperfect indicative or in the imperfect subjunctive if the action is conceived as occupying a period of time within which the main action took place (e. g.: quid enim meus frater ab arte adjuvari potuit, cum ... furem se videre respondit? Quid in omni oratione Crassus ... cum pro Cn. Plancio diceret? Cic. de Or. 2, 54, 220; where dicebat might stand for diceret, but not responderet for respondit: cum ad tribum Polliam ventum est, et praeco cunctaretur, etc., Liv. 29, 37, 8; cf.: cum tecum Ephesi collocutus sum, Cic. Fam. 13, 55, 1; and: cum te Puteolis prosequerer, id. ib. 3, 10, 8: cum primum lex coepta ferri est, Liv 3, 14, 4; and: cum ferretur lex, id. 5, 30, 4; also, Cic. Fam. 4, 3, 1, and Liv. 3, 58, 7).
   1    Both predicates in the perf. indic. (or histor. pres.), both clauses denoting points of time (the principal predicate may be in any verbal form implying a perfect).
   a The clause expressing a momentary action: posticulum hoc recepit quom aedis vendidit, Flaut. Trin. 1, 2, 157: scilicet qui dudum tecum venit cum pallam mihi Detulisti, id. Men. 2, 3, 46; prol. 62; id. Poen. 4, 2, 82; id. Ep. 2, 2, 33; Ter. Hec. 4, 1, 57; id. Heaut. 2, 3, 21 et saep.: non tum cum emisti fundum Tusculanum, in leporario apri fuerunt, Varr. R. R. 3, 3, 8: in judiciis quanta vis esset didicit cum est absolutus, Cic. Tog. Cand. Fragm. 4: per tuas statuas vero cum dixit, vehementer risimus, id. de Or. 2, 59, 242: cum occiditur Sex. Roscius, (servi) ibidem fuerunt, id. Rosc. Am. 41, 120; id. Verr. 2, 2, 29, § 70; 1, 4, 11; 2, 2, 66, § 160; 2, 3, 47, § 112; id. Caecin. 29, 85; id. Sest. 55, 157; id. Phil. 2, 9, 21; id. Rep. 6, 22, 24; id. Fam. 9, 15, 2; id. Att. 2, 1, 5 et saep.: tunc flesse decuit cum adempta sunt nobis arma, Liv. 3, 55, 10; 10, 6, 8; 28, 42, 14; 42, 46, 1; Vitr. 2, 8, 12; 2, 1, 7; 2, 9, 15; 6, 7, 4: semel dumtaxat vultum mutavit, tunc cum ... anulum in profundum dejecit, Val. Max. 6, 9, 6; 8, 8, ext. 1; 9, 1, ext. 1; 9, 8, 1: rerum natura ... cum visum est deinde, (filium tuum) repetiit, Sen. Cons. Polyb. 10, 4; 11, 2; id. Q. N. 1, 11, 3; 6, 25, 4: accepimus et serpentem latrasse cum pulsus est regno Tarquinius, Plin. 8, 41, 63, § 153; 2, 24, 22, § 90; 2, 52, 53, § 139; Suet. Claud. 21; Hor. S. 2, 3, 61; Ov. Tr. 5, 11, 8; Tib. 3, 5, 18; Mart. 5, 49, 9.—So, cum primum, when first, the first time that, as soon as: jube vinum dari: jam dudum factum'st quom primum bibi, Plaut. As. 5, 2, 40; id. Cas. prol. 17; Ter. Hec. alt. prol. 31; id. And. prol. 1; id. Eun. 3, 3, 4: Pompeius cum primum contionem habuit ... ostendit, etc., Cic. Verr. 1, 15, 45; id. Fam. 2, 9, 1; Liv. 3, 55, 10; 25, 6, 2; 25, 29, 4; 31, 3, 1; 40, 8, 1; 42, 34, 3; Curt. 6, 11, 23; but with imperf. subj. when referring to a per. of time: ipse cum primum pabuli copia esse inciperet, ad exercitum venit, Caes. B. G. 2, 2.—In the poets and later writers, the imperf. subj. often occurs where classic prose has the perf. indic.: effice ut idem status sit cum exigis qui fuit cum promitterem, Sen. Ben. 4, 39, 4: tum lacrimare debueras cum equo calcaria subderes, Curt. 7, 2, 6; Suet. Claud. 6; Ov. P. 4, 12, 28.—
   b If the clause denotes a state, condition, or action of longer duration, it takes the perf. indic. if asserted as a complete fact without regard to what happened during its progress (virtual point of time): in quem Juppiter se convertit cum exportavit per mare ... Europen, Varr. R. R. 2, 5, 5: ne cum in Siciliā quidem (bellum) fuit ... pars ejus belli in Italiam ulla pervasit, Cic. Verr. 2, 5, 2, § 6: nempe eo (lituo) Romulus regiones direxit tum cum urbem condidit, id. Div. 1, 17, 30; id. Verr. 2, 3, 54, § 125; id. Lig. 7, 20; id. Rep. 3, 32, 44: non tibi, cum in conspectu Roma fuit, succurrit? etc., Liv. 2, 40, 7; 34, 3, 7; Nep. Iphicr. 2, 4; id. Pelop. 4, 3.—
   c With perf. indic., by the time when, before, referring to facts which actually occurred before the action of the principal sentence: ab Anaximandro moniti Lacedaemonii sunt ut urbem ... linquerent, quod terrae motus instaret, tum cum ... urbs tota corruit, Cic. Div. 1, 50, 112; Liv. 22, 36, 4; 34, 31, 15; Prop. 2, 32 (3, 30), 53.—
   d With perf. indic. when actions in immediate sequence are represented as coincident: ad quem cum accessimus, Appio, subridens, Recipis nos, inquit, etc., Varr. R. R. 3, 2, 2: me primus dolor percussit, Cotta cum est expulsus, Cic. Brut. 89, 303: itaque ne tum quidem cum classem perdidisti, Mamertinis navem imperare ausus es, id. Verr. 2, 5, 23, § 59: haec cum facta sunt in concilio, magna spe et laetitia omnium discessum est, Caes. B. C. 3, 87: cum Thessalos in armis esse nuntiatum est, Ap. Claudium ... senatus misit, Liv. 42, 5, 8: Gracchus cum ex Sardiniā rediit, orationem ad populum habuit, Gell. 15, 12, 1; Cic. Imp. Pomp. 1, 2; id. Deiot. 6, 17; id. Top. 16, 61; id. Div. 1, 43, 98; id. Fam. 5, 21, 2; Liv. 4, 44, 10; 4, 60, 8; 9, 25, 2; 22, 14, 12; Nep. Dat. 11, 1; Suet. Caes. 31; Gell. 1, 23, 5; Prop. 3, 20, 37 (4, 21, 7).—Hence a perf. indic. in co-ordination with pluperf. subj.: cum sol nocte visus esset ... et cum caelum discessisse visum est (decemviri ad libros ire jussi sunt), Cic. Div. 1, 43, 97.—
   2    With a perf. indic. (or histor. pres.), the principal predicate in imperf.
   a The action falling within the time of the principal predicate: set Stalagmus quojus erat tunc nationis, quom hinc abit? Plaut. Capt. 4, 2, 107; id. Rud. 3, 6, 9; Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 51: haec Crassi oratio cum edita est, quattuor et triginta tum habebat annos, etc., Cic. Brut. 43, 161: eo cum venio, praetor quiescebat, id. Verr. 2, 4, 14, § 32; 2, 5, 69, § 178; id. Fl. 13, 20; id. Pis. 1, 2; id. Lig. 1, 3; id. Phil. 2, 21, 52; 3, 4, 11; id. Fam. 13, 35, 2; id. Att. 6, 1, 13: cum Caesari in Galliam venit, alterius factionis principes erant Aedui, alterius Sequani, Caes. B. G. 6, 12; Sall. J. 71, 1: cum haec accepta clades est, jam C. Horatius et T. Menenius consules erant, Liv. 2, 51, 1; 21, 39, 4; 23, 49, 5; 28, 27, 14; 34, 16, 6; 45, 39, 1: merito me non adgnoscis, nam cum hoc factum est, integer eram, Sen. Ben. 5, 24, 3.—Post-class. writers generally use imperf. subj.: beneficium ei videberis dedisse cui tunc inimicissimus eras cum dares? Sen. Ben. 5, 19, 7: bona quoque, quae tunc habuit cum damnaretur, publicabuntur, Dig. 28, 18, § 1: pauper Fabricius (erat) Pyrrhi cum sperneret aurum, Claud. IV. Cons. Hon. 413.—
   b The action strictly anterior to the principal sentence, rare (1. d.): nam quod conabar cum interventum'st dicere, nunc expedibo, Pac. ap. Non. p. 505, 3 (Trag. Rel. v. 65 Rib.): cum est ad nos adlatum de temeritate eorum, etc., cetera mihi facillima videbantur ... multaque mihi veniebant in mentem, etc., Cic. Fam. 3, 10, 1; Sall. C. 51, 32; Verg. A. 6, 515; id. E. 3, 14.—
   3    The predicate after cum conceived as a period or space of time (including repeated action) is either in the imperf. indic. or imperf. subj. [In ante-classical writers and Cicero the imperf. indic. very frequent, and largely prevailing over the subj., except that when the principal predicate denotes a point of time (with perf.), Cicero commonly uses the subj.; the imperf. indic. occurs in Cicero 241 times; in Caesar once with the force of a relativeclause (B. G. 1, 40, 5), and 3 times of repeated action; in Nep. once of repeated action (Att. 9, 6); in Sall. twice (J. 31, 20; id. H. 1, 48, 6 Dietsch); in Liv. 22 times; in Verg. 4 times; in Ovid twice; in Tib. twice; in Prop. 3 times; in Val. Max. twice; then it disappears (except once each in Tac. and Mart.), but reappears in Gaius (3 times), Gellius (twice), and the Gallic panegyrists (several times)].
   a Both predicates denoting spaces of time, the principal predicate always in the imperf. indic. unless the mood is changed by other influences.
   (a)    Cum with the imperf. indic. (1) In express or implied opposition to other periods of time, esp. with tum or tunc: eademne erat haec disciplina tibi quom tu adulescens eras? Plaut. Bacch. 3, 3, 17: alium esse censes nunc me atque olim quom dabam? Ter. And. 3, 3, 13; Plaut. Capt. 2, 1, 50; id. Most. 1, 3, 64; id. Mil. 2, 2, 26; Ter. And. 1, 1, 69; Enn. ap. Cic. Brut. 19, 76 (Ann. v. 222 Vahl.): qui cum plures erant, paucis nobis exaequari non poterant, hi postquam pauciores sunt, etc., Auct. Her. 4, 18, 25: qui (Pompeius) cum omnes Caesarem metuebamus ipse eum diligebat, postquam ille metuere coepit, etc., Cic. Att. 8, 1, 4: res per eosdem creditores per quos cum tu aderas agebatur, id. Fam. 1, 1, 1 (cf.: Senatus consultum factum est de ambitu in Afranii sententiam quam ego dixeram cum tu adesses, id. Q. Fr. 2, 9, 3): Trebellium valde jam diligit: oderat tum cum ille tabulis novis adversabatur, id. Phil. 6, 4, 11: non tam id sentiebam cum fruebar, quam tunc cum carebam, id. Red. Quir. 1, 3: etenim tunc esset hoc animadvertendum cum classis Syracusis proficiebatur, id. Verr. 2, 5, 43, § 111 (so 111 times in Cicero, including the instances where the principal predicate is in the perf.): cum captivis redemptio negabatur, nos vulgo homines laudabant, nunc deteriore condicione sumus, etc., Liv. 25, 6, 14; 10, 7, 2; 33, 34, 3; 34, 4, 10; 44, 36, 8; 45, 38, 1; Ov. P. 2, 6, 9; id. M. 13, 473; Val. Max. 6, 3, 1; 4, 1, 10; Mart. 12, 70, 10; Gai Inst. 1, 184; Eum. Grat. Act. 6; cf.: cur eum, cum in consilium iretur, Cluentius et Canutius abesse patiebantur? Cur cum in consilium mittebant, Stajenum judicem qui pecuniam dederant, non requirebant? Cic. Clu. 30, 83 (cum iretur, of the time when the judges retired; cum mittebant, of the previous time, when the parties were asked about the closing of the case; opp. cum iretur).—Poets, even in the class. per., sometimes use the subj. in dependence upon the indic.: hic subito quantus cum viveret esse solebat, Exit humo, Ov. M. 13, 441. —(2) The principal predicate denoting a mental act or reflection occasioned by, or accompanying the action of the clause with cum (mostly ante-class. and in Cicero): desipiebam mentis cum illa scripta mittebam tibi, Plaut. Ep. 1, 2, 35; id. Aul. 2, 2, 1; id. Ps. 1, 5, 86: sed tu cum et tuos amicos in provinciam quasi in praedam invitabas, et cum eis praedabare, et ... non statuebas tibi rationem esse reddendam? Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 11, § 29: illas res tantas cum gerebam, non mihi mors, non exsilium ob oculos versabatur? id. Sest. 21, 47; id. Cat. 3, 1, 3; 3, 7, 16; id. Verr. 2, 2, 10, § 26; 2, 2, 13, § 33; 2, 2, 35, § 86; 2, 3, 86, § 198; 2, 5, 21, § 54; id. Fl. 1, 1; id. Deiot. 1, 3; 8, 23; id. Pis. 24, 56 and 57; id. Ac. 2, 28, 89; id. Or. 13, 41; id. Tusc. 2, 15, 43; id. Fam. 7, 9, 5 (22 times); Sall. H. 1, 48, 6 Dietsch (cf.: num P. Decius cum se devoveret, et equo admisso in mediam aciem Latinorum inruebat, aliquid ... cogitabat? Cic. Fin. 2, 19, 61; cum se devoveret explains the circumstances of inruebat; hence acc. to 3. a. β, 2. in subj.; cf. Madv. ad loc., who reads devoverat).—(3) If the predicate after cum has a meaning peculiar to the imperf. indic., which by the use of the subj. would be effaced: quod erat os tuum, cum videbas eos homines, quorum ex bonis istum anulus aureus donabas? (descriptive imperf.) Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 80, § 187; so, fulgentis gladios hostium videbant Decii, cum in aciem eorum inruebant, id. Tusc. 2, 24, 59: cum de plebe consulem non accipiebat ( = accipere nolebat, conative imperf.), id. Brut. 14, 55: cum vim quae esset in sensibus explicabamus, etc., id. Ac. 2, 12, 37 (the verbum dicendi refers to a certain stage in the discourse, for which Cicero uses the imperf. indic. in independent sentences, e. g. N. D. 3, 29, 71; 3, 6, 15; de Or. 1, 53, 230; 2, 19, 83; 2, 84, 341); so, equidem ... risum vix tenebam, cum Attico Lysiae Catonem nostrum comparabas, id. Brut. 8, 293: cum censebam, id. de Or. 1, 62, 264: cum dicebam, id. Fam. 6, 1, 5: cum ponebas, id. Fin. 2, 19, 63; so esp. in Cicero's letters the phrase cum haec scribebam = while I am writing this, to preserve the meaning of an epistolary tense, referring to a state, condition, or action in progress at the time of writing the letter: res, cum haec scribebam, erat in extremum adducta discrimen, id. Fam. 12, 6, 2; 3, 12, 2; 5, 12, 2; 6, 4, 1; id. Att. 5, 20, 5 et saep.; cum haec scriberem, scripsissem, scripsi, are not epistolary tenses, but refer to events happening after the letter or part of it was finished, = when I wrote, had written, id. ib. 2, 15, 3; 10, 4, 7; 4, 10, 2; id. Q. Fr. 3, 1, 6, § 19; Cael. ap. Cic. Fam. 8, 6, 5; 8, 13, 2; sometimes cum dabam = cum scribebam, Cic. Fam. 12, 16, 3 (but cf.: cum scriberem, as epistolary tense, in oblique discourse, id. Att. 15, 13, 7).—(4) The coincidence in time of two actions is made emphatic, = eo ipso tempore quo: tum cum insula Delos ... nihil timebat, non modo provinciis sed etiam Appiā viā jam carebamus, Cic. Imp. Pomp. 18, 55; id. Phil. 1, 15, 36; 13, 8, 17; id. Sull. 10, 31; id. Tusc. 2, 8, 20; id. Off. 3, 27, 100; id. Dom. 45, 118.—
   (b)    The predicate after cum is in the imperf. subj. (1) To impart to the clause a causal, adversative or concessive meaning besides the temporal relation: antea cum equester ordo judicaret, improbi magistratus in provinciis inserviebant publicanis (a logical consequence), Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 41, § 94: sed cum jam honores (Hortensii) et illa senior auctoritas gravius quiddam requireret, remanebat idem (dicendi genus) nec decebat idem, id. Brut. 95, 327; id. Phil. 1, 1, 1; id. Rosc. Am. 15, 42; 16, 45; id. Pis. 10, 2; Liv. 25, 13, 1; 26, 5, 1.—(2) To indicate circumstances under which the main action took place, and by which it is explained: Flaminius, cum tripudio auspicaretur, pullarius diem differebat, etc., Cic. Div. 1, 35, 77: equidem cum peterem magistratum, solebam in prensando dimittere a me Scaevolam, id. de Or. 1, 24, 112; id. Inv. 2, 17, 52; Liv. 41, 1, 2 (cf. 3. b. β, 3.).—(3) To describe the locality of the main action: quom essem in provinciā legatus, quam plures ad praetores et consules vinum honorarium dabant, Cato ap. Isid. Orig. 20, 3, 8: Zenonem cum Athenis essem audiebam frequenter, Cic. N. D. 1, 21, 59; 1, 28, 79; id. Tusc. 2, 14, 34; id. Fam. 3, 8, 5; id. Att. 2, 11, 1; 12, 5, 4; 16, 14, 1; id. Verr. 2, 4, 12, § 29; Liv. 5, 54, 3 (cf. 3. b. β, 4.).—(4) To designate the time of the main action as a condition: cum ageremus vitae supremum diem, scribebamus hoc, Cic. Fin. 4, 27, 54: cum jam in exitu annus esset, Q. Marcius ... magistratu abiturus erat, Liv. 39, 23, 1 (cf. 3. b. β, 5.).—
   (g)    If both the clause with cum and the principal predicate denote repeated action, the predicate with cum in class. prose is in the imperf. indic. or subj. according to the rules under α and β; the principal predicate being always in the imperf. indic.; but in ante-class. writers cum has always the imperf. indic. (1) Imperf. indic.: tum mi aedes quoque arridebant, quom ad te veniebam, tuae, Plaut. As. 1, 3, 55; id. Am. 1, 1, 45; id. Rud. 4, 7, 25 sqq.; Ter. Eun. 2, 3, 19; Cinc. de Re Mil. ap. Gell. 16, 4, 5; Asell. ap. Gell. 2, 13, 4; Cic. Att. 2, 7, 4; id. Verr. 2, 2, 13, § 34; Caes. B. C. 1, 79, 2; Gai Inst. 2, 101; Pacat. Pan. 9 fin.: cum a nostro Catone laudabar vel reprehendi me a ceteris facile patiebar, Cic. Or. 13, 41; so Nep. Att. 9, 6.—To distinguish from adversative relations, as Cic. Rosc. Com. 3, 9; id. Att. 12, 39, 2; id. de Or. 1, 14, 62; Caes. B. C. 3, 44, 6; Gai Inst. 2, 254.—If only the clause with cum, but not the principal predicate, denotes repeated action, the latter is in the perf., the former in imperf. indic., Caes. B. C. 2, 17; Cic. Arch. 5, 10.—(2) Imperf. subj., mostly denoting circumstances to explain the main action: cum dilectus antiquitus fieret ... tribunus militaris adigebat, etc., Cinc. de Re Mil. ap. Gell. 16, 4, 2: Hortensius cum partiretur tecum causas, prorogandi locum semper tibi relinquebat, Cic. Brut. 51, 190; id. Div. 1, 45, 102; id. de Or. 1, 54, 232; id. Brut. 62, 222; Liv. 3, 66, 2; 5, 25, 12: ex hoc effectos panes, cum in colloquiis Pompeiani famem nostris objectarent, vulgo in eos jaciebant (causal), Caes. B. C. 3, 48; Cic. Fin. 2, 19, 62; so, according to class. usage, Sen. Ep. 86, 11; Curt. 5, 2, 7; 6, 5, 18; 7, 3, 13; Suet. Caes. 65; contrary to class. usage, Val. Max. 3, 6, 6; Sen. Ep. 30, 7; 77, 8; Tac. H. 2, 91; Spart. Had. 18. —
   (d)    In other instances (which are rare), both moods occur, either without any discrimination, or for special reasons. (1) Ante-class.: nam quom modo exibat foras, ad portum se aibat ire, Plaut. Rud. 2, 2, 2. —(2) Class.: ut, cum L. Opimii causam defendebat, C. Carbo nihil de Gracchi nece negabat, sed id jure factum esse dicebat, Cic. de Or. 2, 25, 106 (cf.: nuper cum ego C. Sergii Oratae ... causam defenderem, nonne omnis nostra in jure versata defensio est? id. ib. 1, 39, 178; in each of these sentences the clause with cum sustains exactly the same relation to the principal predicate; but the former has the imperf. in the principal sentence, and in this connection Cic. prefers the indic. after cum): similiter arbitror ... illum (oratorem) de toto illo genere non plus quaesiturum esse, quid dicat, quam Polycletum illum, cum Herculem fingebat, quem ad modum pellem aut hydram fingeret (fingebat, for euphony, in view of the foll. fingeret), id. de Or. 2, 16, 70; cf.: nec vero ille artifex cum faceret Jovis formam ... contemplabatur aliquem, e quo similitudinem duceret, id. Or. 2, 9.—Without assignable reason: casu, cum legerem tuas litteras, Hirtius erat apud me, Cic. Att. 15, 1, 2; cf.: Hasdrubal tum forte cum haec gerebantur, apud Syphacem erat, Liv. 29, 31, 1: cum haec Romae agebantur, Chalcide Antiochus ipse sollicitabat civitatium animos, etc., id. 36, 5, 1; cf.: cum haec in Hispaniā gererentur, comitiorum jam appetebat dies, id. 35, 8, 1 (Weissenb. gerebantur): cum haec agebantur, Chalcide erat Antiochus, id. 36, 15, 1; cf.: cum haec agerentur jam consul viā Labicanā ad fanum Quietis erat, id. 4, 41, 8; 35, 2, 1.—(3) PostAug. writers almost always use imperf. subj., disregarding the class. usage: ipsa fruebatur arte cum pingeret (cf. α, 2.), Sen. Ep. 9, 7; id. Cons. Marc. 23, 3; Plin. Pan. 34: tunc erat mendacio locus cum ignota essent externa ... nunc vero, etc. (opposition of times), Sen. Q. N. 4, 2, 24; so id. Ep. 97, 9; Mart. 2, 61, 1; cf. Don. ad Ter. And. 3, 3, 13 (3. a. α, 1. supra): cum haec proderem habebant et Caesares juvenes sturnum, etc., Plin. 10, 41, 59, § 120.—
   b If the principal predicate denotes a point of time, and the predicate with cum a period of time, the former is in the perf. indic. unless changed by construction; the latter
   (a)    In the imperf. indic., according to the rules a. α, except 2. (1) When the time of the cum clause is opposed to other periods of time: res quom animam agebat tum esse offusam oportuit, Plaut. Trin. 4, 3, 85; id. Truc. 4, 2, 20; id. Ep. 3, 3, 50 (3, 4, 21); id. Most. 5, 1, 68: quod cum res agebatur nemo in me dixit, id tot annis post tu es inventus qui diceres? Cic. Phil. 2, 9, 22; id. Rep. 2, 23, 43; id. Div. 1, 41, 92; 1, 45, 101; id. Ac. 2, 28, 90; id. Quint. 19, 60; 17, 54; 19, 61; id. Verr. 2, 3, 90, § 210 et saep.; Liv. 22, 60, 25; Verg. A. 4, 597; Tib. 1, 10, 8; 1, 10, 19; Prop. 2, 1, 31; 5 (4), 10, 24.—The subj. may be used if the principal action is represented as a consequence or result: o, Astaphium, haut isto modo solita's me ante appellare, Sed blande, quom illuc quod aput vos nunc est, aput me haberem, Plaut. Truc. 1, 2, 60 (Lübbert conjectures habebam); Cic. Off. 2, 1, 2 and 3; id. Fin. 4, 27, 54; id. Rosc. Am. 4, 11; id. Verr. 2, 3, 57, § 130; id. Mur. 3, 8; Liv. 5, 53, 9; 10, 6, 9; 43, 21, 1; 44, 39, 7.— Hence the mood may change in co-ordinate clauses: tum, cum haberet haec res publica Luscinos, Calatinos, etc., homines ... patientiā paupertatis ornatos, et tum, cum erant Catones, Phili, etc., tamen hujusce modi res commissa nemini est (haberet, concessive), Cic. Agr. 2, 24, 64.—(2) To make emphatic the coincidence of time, = eo ipso tempore (a. α, 4.): cum is triumphus de Liguribus agebatur, Ligures ... coloniam ipsam ceperunt, Liv. 41, 14, 1; Cic. Sest. 26, 56; id. Phil. 2, 36, 90; id. Div. 2, 1, 3; id. Verr. 2, 5, 37, § 97; id. Att. 1, 4, 1.—(3) To preserve the peculiar force of the imperf. indic. (a. α, 3.): cum iste jam decedebat, ejus modi litteras ad eos misit, etc. (conative imperf.), Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 70, § 172: cum Africanus censor tribu movebat centurionem ... inquit, id. de Or. 2, 67, 272 (cf.: cum (censor) M. Antistio equum ademisset, id. ib. 2, 71, 287).—
   (b)    With the imperf. subj. (1) Always when cum means while (time during which): quomque caput caderet, carmen tuba sola peregit et, etc., Enn. ap. Lact. ad Stat. Th. 11, 56 (Ann. v. 508 Vahl.): magistratus quom ibi adesset, occepta'st agi, Ter. Eun. prol. 22 (Lübbert conjectures adsedit); Enn. ap. Macr. S. 6, 1 (Ann. v. 106 Vahl.): Alexandrum uxor sua, cum simul cubaret, occidit, Cic. Inv. 2, 49, 144: armati, cum sui utrosque adhortarentur ... in medium inter duas acies procedunt, Liv. 1, 25, 1; Varr. R. R. 2, 81; Auct. Her. 4, 52, 65; Cic. Brut. 3, 10; id. Clu. 62, 175; Caes. B. G. 2, 19; id. B. C. 3, 57; Liv. 1, 30, 8; 10, 30, 3 et saep.—(2) To connect a logical (causal, etc.) relation with the temporal meaning (a. β, 1.): cum ille Romuli senatus ... temptaret ut ipse gereret sine rege rem publicam, populus id non tulit, Cic. Rep. 2, 12, 23: an pater familiarissimis suis succensuit cum Sullam et defenderent et laudarent? (causal), id. Sull. 17, 49: tum cum bello sociorum tota Italia arderet, homo non acerrimus ... C. Norbanus in summo otio fuit (concessive), id. Verr. 2, 5, 4, § 8: quibus rebus cum unus in civitate maxime floreret, incidit in eandem invidiam, etc. (adversative), Nep. Cim. 3, 1: sed cum jam appropinquantium forma lemborum haud dubia esset ... tunc injecta trepidatio est, Liv. 44, 28, 10; Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 90, § 211; id. Clu. 31, 84; id. Mur. 3, 8; id. Phil. 3, 2, 3; id. Tusc. 1, 2, 4; Auct. Her. 4, 24, 33; Caes. B. C. 2, 7; Liv. 25, 9, 10; 21, 41, 12.—(3) To explain the main fact by circumstances: quem quidem hercle ego, in exilium quom iret, redduxi domum, Plaut. Merc. 5, 4, 19: consule me, cum esset designatus tribunus, obtulit in discrimen vitam suam, Cic. Sest. 28, 61: haec epistula est, quam nos, in aedibus Apronii cum litteras conquireremus, invenimus, id. Verr. 2, 3, 66, § 154: Socrates, cum XXX. tyranni essent, pedem portā non extulit, id. Att. 8, 2, 4: Brundusii cum loquerer cum Phaniā, veni in eum sermonem ut dicerem, etc., id. Fam. 3, 5, 3: itaque, cum populum in curias triginta divideret, nomina earum (Sabinarum) curiis imposuit, Liv. 1, 13, 6: Ap. Claudius, ovans cum in urbem iniret, decem milia pondo argenti, etc., in aerarium tulit, id. 41, 28, 6; Cic. Clu. 20, 55; id. Phil. 12, 8, 20; id. Scaur. 47; id. Inv. 2, 31, 96; id. Tusc. 2, 22, 53; id. Div. 1, 52, 119; id. Off. 2, 8, 27; id. Or. 2, 55, 225 sq.; id. Fam. 1, 9, 13; 6, 6, 5; Liv. 1, 39, 4; 3, 63, 6; 4, 53, 11 et saep.—(4) To describe the place of the main action (a. α, 3.): cum essem in castris ad fluvium Pyramum, redditae mihi sunt uno tempore a te epistulae duae, Cic. Fam. 3, 11, 1; so with cum essem (essemus, etc.), id. ib. 2, 19, 1; 3, 4, 1; 13, 56, 1; id. Att. 1, 10, 1; 14, 19, 1; id. Ac. 1, 1, 1; id. Rep. 1, 39, 61; Varr. R. R. 3, 13; Caes. B. G. 4, 11 et saep.: Eumenes rex ab Romā cum in regnum rediret ... mactatus est ( = on the journey), Liv. 42, 40, 8: Agesilaus cum ex Aegypto reverteretur ... in morbum implicitus decessit, Nep. Ages. 8, 6.—The perf. indic. (cum fui, etc.) refers to temporary visits to a place: Gallo narravi, cum proxime Romae fui, quid audissem, Cic. Att. 13, 49, 2: proxime cum in patriā meā fui, venit ad me, etc., Plin. Ep. 4, 13, 3.—(5) To designate the time by natural occurrences (a. α, 4.): ipsi comprehensi a me, cum jam dilucesceret, deducuntur, Cic. Cat. 3, 3, 6: cum advesperasceret, cum lucesceret, id. Fam. 15, 4, 8: cum lux appropinquaret, id. Tull. 9, 21: cum dies instaret, id. Inv. 2, 31, 96: cum comitiorum tempus adpeteret, Liv. 28, 10, 1: cum dies comitiorum adpropinquaret, id. 3, 34, 7; 10, 13, 2.—But when a date is given as a point of time, the perf. indic. is used: cum ea dies venit, Liv. 4, 44, 10; 6, 20, 4.—(6) When the action of the cum clause is interrupted or ended by the main action: cum hanc jam epistulam complicarem, tabellarii a vobis venerunt, etc., Cic. Q. Fr. 3, 1, 5, § 17: L. Octavius, cum multas jam causas diceret, adulescens est mortuus, id. Brut. 68, 241: cum plures jam tribus dicto esse audientem pontifici duumvirum juberent ... ultimum de caelo quod comitia turbaret intervenit, Liv. 40, 42, 10: cum maxime conquereretur apud patres ... repente strepitus ante curiam ... auditur, id. 8, 33, 4: haec cum maxime dissereret, intervenit Tarquinius, id. 1, 50, 7; so with cum maxime, Cic. Fam. 1, 5, a, 2; Liv. 23, 24, 6; 30, 33, 12.—(7) If the clause with cum has the force of a participial adjunct of the principal predicate (cum diceret = dicens, or dicendo): Caesarem saepe accusavit, cum adfirmaret illum numquam, dum haec natio viveret, sine curā futurum ( = adfirmans, or adfirmando), Cic. Sest. 63, 132: Antigonus in proelio, cum adversus Seleucum dimicaret, occisus est ( = dimicans), Nep. Reg. 3, 2: impulit ut cuperem habere, cum diceret, Varr. R. R. 3, 2, 8; Cic. Q. Fr. 2, 9 (11), 3; id. Clu. 42, 119; 56, 153; id. pro Corn. Maj. Fragm. 16; id. Mil. 5, 12; id. de Or. 1, 57, 243; id. Or. 37, 129; id. Fin. 1, 5, 16; id. Inv. 2, 34, 105; Val. Max. 1, 2, ext. 1; Ov. P. 1, 9, 42.—(8) In the historians, in a summary reference to events already related: cum haec in Achaiā atque apud Dyrrhachium gererentur ... Caesar mittit, etc., Caes. B. C. 3, 57: cum civitas in opere ac labore adsiduo reficiendae urbis teneretur, interim Q. Fabio ... dicta dies est, Liv. 6, 1, 6: cum hic status in Boeotiā esset, Perseus ... misit, id. 42, 56, 10; 33, 36, 1; 34, 22, 3; 38, 8, 1; 42, 64, 1; 45, 11, 1.—
   (g)    In all other cases the imperf. subj. is regularly used in class. prose, even if the action of the clause with cum is logically independent of the principal sentence: illum saepe audivi, hic, cum ego judicare jam aliquid possem, abfuit, Cic. Brut. 71, 248: senatus consultum est factum de ambitu in Afranii sententiam, in quam ego dixeram, cum tu adesses. id. Q. Fr. 2, 7 (9), 3; so always (class.) with cum maxime, precisely when, just when: cum maxime haec in senatu agerentur, Canuleius ... (ad populum) ita disseruit, Liv. 4, 3, 1: cum maxime Capua circumvallaretur, Syracusarum oppugnatio ad finem venit, id. 25, 23, 1.—In a very few instances the imperf. indic. occurs without apparent reason: an vero cum honos agebatur familiae vestrae ... succensuit pater tuus cum Sullam defenderent (probably to distinguish the two cum clauses), Cic. Sull. 17, 49 (cf.: cum jus amicitiae, societatis, adfinitatis ageretur, cum, etc., eo tempore tu non modo non ... retulisti, sed ne ipse quidem, etc., id. Quint. 16, 53): ille versus, qui in te erat collatus cum aedilitatem petebas, id. Q. Fr. 1, 3, 8: cum ex oppido exportabatur (Dianae statua) quem conventum mulierum factum esse arbitramini? ... Quid hoc totā Siciliā est clarius quam omnes convenisse cum Diana exportaretur ex oppido? etc., id. Verr. 2, 4, 35, § 77.—Poets and post-class. writers frequently disregard the class. usage, the former by using either mood instead of the other, the latter by the un-Ciceronian use of the subj.; v. Prop. 2, 9, 15; 5 (4), 4, 10; Tib. 1, 10, 16; Verg. A. 7, 148; 12, 735; Mart. 13, 122; Curt. 8, 12, 16; 9, 2, 24; Quint. 11, 1, 89; Plin. 36, 6, 5, § 46; Dig. 28, 1, 22, § 1; Gell. strangely uses an imperf. indic. where class. writers would use a subj.: sed ego, homines cum considerabam, alterum fidei, alterum probri plenum, nequaquam adduci potui ad absolvendum, Gell. 14, 2, 10; cf.: cum secum reputavit, Tac. A. 15, 54.
   D In adverbial clauses denoting identity of action (if the principal sentence and the clause with cum denote not different actions, but one action, which, expressed by the latter clause, is by the principal sentence defined in its meaning and import, the clause with cum always takes the indic., except once or twice post-class., and almost always the same tense as the principal sentence), when, by, in, etc.
   1    The predicate in present: amice facis Quom me laudas, Plaut. Most. 3, 2, 31; id. Poen. 3, 2, 12; 3, 5, 15; Ter. And. prol. 18; id. Ad. 1, 2, 16 et saep.: bene facitis cum venitis, Auct. Her. 4, 50, 63: quae cum taces, nulla esse concedis, Cic. Rosc. Am. 19, 54; 21, 58; id. Clu. 47, 132; Liv. 25, 6, 5 et saep.—
   2    With fut. (rare): cum igitur proferent aliquid hujusmodi ... inventum proferent, Cic. Inv. 1, 40, 75; id. Fl. 39, 99; Plin. Ep. 7, 24, 9.—
   3    With fut. perf. (rare): quod cum dederis, illud dederis ut is absolvatur, Cic. Div. in Caecil. 7, 23; id. Lig. 12, 36; id. Part. Or. 39; Auct. Her. 4, 30, 41.—
   4    With perf.: fecisti furtum quom istaec flagitia me celavisti et patrem, Plaut. Bacch. 1, 2, 60; 1, 2, 52; id. Cas. 4, 4, 18 (22); id. Capt. 2, 3, 52; Ter. Phorm. prol. 32 et saep.: loco ille motus est cum ex urbe est depulsus, Cic. Cat. 2, 1, 1; id. Verr. 2, 5, 23, § 59; id. Fam. 11, 29, 2; id. Rosc. Am. 14, 39; Liv. 5, 49, 8; 9, 8, 4; Val. Max. 3, 7, ext. 1; Curt. 6, 10, 9; Quint. 1, 10, 47 et saep.—
   5    With histor. pres.: Orestes cum se defendit, in matrem confert crimen, Auct. Her. 1, 15, 25.—
   6    With imperf.: cum grandiorem aetatem ad consulatum constituebant, adulescentiae temeritatem verebantur, Cic. Phil. 5, 17, 47; 14, 10, 28; id. Fl. 33, 83; id. Lig. 6, 18; id. Fam. 6, 1, 3; id. Off. 3, 10, 40; id. Sen. 6, 15 et saep.—
   7    Imperf. with perf. (poet. and post-class.; very rare): quid quod et ominibus certis prohibebar amori Indulgere meo, tum cum mihi ferre jubenti Excidit et fecit spes nostras cera caducas, Ov. M. 9, 595 sq.; Val. Max. 9, 1, 5.—
   8    With pluperf. (very rare): exspectationem nobis non parvam attuleras cum scripseras, etc., Cic. Att. 3, 18, 1; id. Sest. 16, 37.—*
   9    Pluperf. and imperf.: quod quidem tibi ostenderam cum a me Capuam reiciebam, Cic. Att. 8, 11, D, 5.—
   10    Imperf. subj. (post-class.): tunc venena edebat bibebatque, cum immensis epulis non delectaretur tantum, sed gloriaretur, Sen. Cons. Helv. 10, 10.—
   11    Often relatively added to nouns when a relative clause must be supplied: illa scelera ... cum ejus domum evertisti, cujus, etc., which you committed when (by), Cic. Pis. 34, 83; id. Imp. Pomp. 12, 33; id. Verr. 2, 5, 13, § 33; Liv. 5, 3, 4; 23, 9, 11; 29, 17, 9.
   E In relative clauses, = quo tempore, quo, etc.
   1    Dependent on nouns designating time, the mood follows the general rules of relative clauses.
   a The principal sentence is a formal statement of indefinite time, with the copula (tempus fuit cum, or fuit cum, analogous to sunt qui, etc.); generally with subj., but sometimes indic., when sunt qui would take this mood.
   (a)    With pres. or fut. indic.: nunc est profecto (i. e. tempus), interfici quom perpeti me possum (the ante-class. writers construe sunt qui with indic.), Ter. Eun. 3, 5, 3; id. And. 1, 1, 125: jam aderit tempus quom sese etiam ipse oderit, Plaut. Bacch. 3, 3, 12; Ter. Hec. 4, 1, 28.—
   (b)    With pres. subj.: nunc est ille dies quom gloria maxima sese nobis ostendat, si vivimus, sive morimur, Enn. ap. Prisc. 10, p. 880 P. (Ann. v. 383 Vahl.); so Plaut. Capt. 3, 3, 1: erit illud profecto tempus et illucescet aliquando dies cum ... amicissimi benevolentiam desideres, Cic. Mil. 25, 69; Val. Max. 6, 2, 9.—
   (g)    With preterites, indic., Plaut. Truc. 2, 4, 29: fuit quoddam tempus cum in agris homines bestiarum more vagabantur, Cic. Inv. 1, 2, 2 (cf.: fuerunt alia genera qui ... dicebant, id. de Or. 3, 17, 62): fuit cum hoc dici poterat (potuisset would be hypothetical), Liv. 7, 32, 13.—
   (d)    With preterites, subj., Ter. Heaut. 5, 4, 1: quod fuit tempus cum rura colerent homines, Varr. R. R. 3, 1: ac fuit cum mihi quoque initium requiescendi concessum arbitrarer, Cic. Or. 1, 1, 1; so id. Brut. 2, 7; Caes. B. G. 6, 24.—
   b Attributively with nouns denoting time (tempus, dies, etc.), in ordinary sentences.
   (a)    With pres. or fut. indic.: incidunt saepe tempora cum ea commutantur, Cic. Off. 1, 10, 31: longum illud tempus cum non ero, etc., id. Att. 12, 8, 1; id. Verr. 2, 5, 69, § 177; id. Quint. 2, 8; id. Sen. 23, 84.—With potential subj., Cic. Att. 3, 3.—
   (b)    With past tenses, indic., Plaut. Am. prol. 91; id. rud. 2, 6, 12; Ter. And. 5, 3, 12: atque ille eo tempore paruit cum parere senatui necesse erat, Cic. Lig. 7, 20: memini noctis illius cum ... pollicebar, id. Planc. 42, 101; id. Phil. 2, 18, 45; 2, 35, 88; id. Imp. Pomp. 15, 44; id. Sest. 7, 15; 29, 62; id. Sull. 18, 52; id. Fam. 11, 8, 1; 11, 27, 3; id. de Or. 1, 11, 45; Sall. J. 31, 20; Ov. Tr. 4, 10, 6; Prop. 1, 10, 5; 1, 22, 5; Gell. 1, 23, 2 et saep.—So with nouns implying time: illa pugna quom, etc. ( = in quā), Plaut. Poen. 2, 26; Marcellino Consule, cum ego ... putabam ( = anno Marcellini, quo, etc.), Cic. Att. 9, 9, 4: patrum nostrorum memoriā cum exercitus videbatur ( = tempore quo), Caes. B. G. 1, 40; Cic. Fam. 13, 1, 2; Liv. 6, 40, 17.—
   (g)    With preterites in subj., Ter. Hec. 4, 4, 30: accepit enim agrum iis temporibus cum jacerent pretia praediorum, Cic. Rosc. Com. 12, 33; so id. Off. 2, 19, 65: numerandus est ille annus cum obmutuisset senatus? id. Pis. 12, 26; so id. Verr. 2, 4, 35, § 77; id. Rep. 2, 37, 62; id. Font. 3, 6; Liv. 3, 65, 8: haec scripsi postridie ejus diei cum castra haberem Mopsuhestiae (cf. habebam, as epistolary tense), Cic. Fam. 3, 8, 10.—If the clause does not define the noun, but is a co-ordinate designation of time, it follows the rule of adverbial clauses: eodem anno, cum omnia infida Romanis essent, Capuae quoque conjurationes factae, while, Liv. 9, 26, 5; Cic. Rep. 2, 36, 61; id. de Or. 2, 3, 12; Liv. 8, 15, 1; 1, 41, 6.—
   c Appositively added to temporal adverbs and to dates (heri, hodie, medius, tertius, olim, antea, quondam, nuper, olim, postea) following the rules of adverbial clauses: Crassus hodie, cum vos non adessetis, posuit idem, etc., Cic. de Or. 2, 10, 41: omnia quae a te nudius tertius dicta sunt, cum docere velles, etc., id. N. D. 3, 7, 18; id. Sest. 48, 103; id. Att. 4, 3, 2; id. Inv. 2, 1, 1; id. Rep. 1, 39, 61; Caes. B.

Febr., cum pro Milone diceret, clamore convicioque jactatus est, Cic. Fam. 1, 5, b, 1; 3, 3, 1; 3, 4, 1; 4, 2, 1; id. Att. 14, 19, 1.—
   2    The principal sentence defines a period of time during which the action of the clause has or had lasted, always with indic., and after the words defining the period, = per quod tempus, when, that, during which, while, etc.
