Hi,
below is a sentence from Livy:
Inde Iovem testem facit: "Si ego iniuste impieque illos homines illasque res dedi mihi exposco, tum patriae compotem me numquam siveris esse!"
My try for translation: Thence he makes Juppiter a witness. "If I beg that I've done something unjust and impious to the people and the state affairs (illasque res?),
then you will never allow me to have a say over the homeland."
I'm puzzled in regards with two points: 1) two verbs (dedi/exposco)...
res dedi mihi exposco
