Future participle with sum (moriturus sis, victurus esses)

The future active participle (-urus, -ura, -urum) with a form of sum means "be about to, be going to", and supplies a future tense in the subjunctive and the infinitive.

The participle ends in -urus and agrees with its subject: moriturus (from morior), victurus (vivo), futurus (sum), rediturus (redeo), habiturus (habeo), avolaturus (avolo).

With sum: avolaturum est "it is going to fly away"; futurum est, ut … "it is going to happen that …".

The subjunctive has no future tense, so -urus sim and -urus essem supply one in indirect questions and other clauses: quoque pacto habitura se sit "and how it will fare"; Etiamsi … victurus esses "even if you were going to live"; tanquam qui … moriturus sis "as one who is about to die".

The future infinitive is -urum esse, often shortened to -urum. After one est, a second participle may stand alone: nec deinceps rediturum "and it will not come back".

Examples

  • sed tanquam qui jam statim moriturus sis 2.2but as one who is about to die at any moment
  • avolaturum est illud, te simul abrepto, nec deinceps rediturum 2.4it will fly away, and you with it, and will not come back
  • quoque pacto habitura se sit pars ista 2.12and how that part will fare
  • Etiamsi ter mille annos victurus esses 2.14Even if you were going to live three thousand years

In the text 86

  • I.17 quod mater mea, quamvis juvenis esset decessura, mecum tamen novissimos aetatis annos transegerit.
  • II.1 Mane praedicere memento tibi, Hodie futurum est, ut rem habeam cum curioso aliquo, ingrato, protervo, doloso, invido, illiberali.
  • II.2 proinde mitte libros. nec distrahere amplius: (nihil obstat, quo minus hoc facias) sed tanquam qui jam statim moriturus sis, carnes istas contemnas."As one who is about to die at any moment". moriturus sis is the active periphrastic (future participle + sum), "be about to die"; a qui clause after tanquam describes what kind of person you are, so it takes the subjunctive.
  • II.4 sed et praescriptum esse tibi temporis terminum: quod nisi ad animum serenandum accommodaveris, avolaturum est illud, te simul abrepto, nec deinceps rediturum.The future participle with est means 'is going to': avolaturum est illud 'it is going to fly away'. rediturum shares the same est: 'and is not going to return'.
  • II.12 ejusdem denique facultatis fuerit, considerare, homo Deum quomodo, et qua sui parte contingat; quoque pacto habitura se sit pars ista, ubi corpore soluta fuerit.quoque here is quo + -que, "and in what", not the adverb quoque "also"; quo pacto means "in what way, how". habitura sit, the future participle with sit, is how an indirect question speaks of the future, and se habere "to hold oneself" means "to be, to fare": "how that part will fare".
  • II.14 Etiamsi ter mille annos victurus esses, et totidem insuper myriadas, illud tamen meminisse debes, nec ullam aliam vitam ab ea, quam degit, amittere quenquam; nec aliam ab ea, quam amittit, degere.victurus esses is the future participle of vivo with the imperfect subjunctive of sum: "you were going to live". After etiamsi "even if" the imperfect subjunctive marks the supposition as unreal, and tamen "still" answers it.
  • II.14 itaque nihil interesse, per centum, an per ducentos, an per tempus interminatum, eadem quis visurus sit.visurus sit, the future participle with sit, is the future in an indirect question: "whether one is going to see the same things". quis is indefinite, "anyone, one".
  • III.1 sed et illud reputandum, quod, si quis diutius vitam protraxerit, incertum sit, utrum mentis vires pariter idoneas sit habiturus ad rerum intelligentiam, et ad contemplationem eam quae ad rerum divinarum humanarumque peritiam contendit.What is uncertain is an indirect question, utrum … "whether …" (utrum with no an after it is simply "whether"). Its verb is the future participle habiturus "going to have" with sit: the active periphrastic. Latin has no future subjunctive, so an indirect question about the future uses this instead: "whether he will have".
  • III.3 sin sensu cariturus sis, desines voluptatibus ac doloribus distineri; desines vasi tanto deteriori inservire.sin "but if" brings in the second possibility. cariturus sis is the future participle of careo "be without" with the subjunctive of esse: "if you are going to be without". careo takes the ablative, here sensu "sensation". The subjunctive leaves the supposition open; the main verbs desines "you will cease" are plain futures.
  • III.7 quod est maximum, victurus est, mortis nec appetens, nec metuens.quod est maximum "(a thing) which is greatest" introduces the statement that follows. victurus est is the future participle with est: "he is going to live", "he will live". victurus could also come from vinco "conquer"; here it is vivo: such a man will truly live.
  • III.11 utque apud te perpendas, et quodnam sit nomen ejus, quaeque eorum ex quibus constat, et in quae futurum est ut resolvatur denuo, nomina.
  • III.12 sed genium tuum purum integrumque servaveris, ac si illum statim redditurus esses:ac si "as if" introduces an imagined comparison and takes the subjunctive. redditurus esses is the future participle of reddo "give back" with esses: "as if you were about to give it back", that is, return the spirit to the god who lent it, at any moment.
  • III.12 huic, inquam, si adhaeseris, nihil ulterius expectans, nihil fugitans; sed quod prae manibus est juxta naturae dictamen agere, et in dictis quibusque animo heroico veritatem libere proloqui contentus; prospere plane victurus es.The main clause at last. victurus es is the future participle of vivo "live" with es: "you are going to live". Do not confuse it with victurus from vinco "conquer", which has a short i. prospere plane "well indeed": the Greek has one word, "you will live well".
  • III.14 Ne diutius evageris. neque enim futurum est, ut commentarios tuos perlegas, aut Romanorum ac Graecorum priscorum res gestas, aut ex autoribus variis excerpta, quae, quo in senectute usui tibi essent, reposuisti.
  • IV.3 istic autem agentium quota pars, et hi quales sunt, qui te celebraturi sint?celebraturi sint is the future participle with esse: "who are going to praise you". It is subjunctive because the relative clause describes the kind of people: "such as are to praise you". The clause answers both questions: how few, and of what sort, are those who will praise you?
  • IV.3 alterum vero, quod universa quae hic vides, mox sunt mutatura, nec futura amplius.sunt mutatura is the future participle with sunt: "are going to change", the active periphrastic, stressing what is about to happen. mutare "to change" is used without an object: "undergo change". futura is the future participle of esse, with sunt carried over: "and will be no longer".
  • IV.19 Qui de fama posthuma solicitus est, non cogitat fore, ut unusquisque eorum qui ipsius meminerint, mox fato sit concessurus;
  • IV.23 O urbs amica Cecropis, inquit ille: tu vero non dicturus es, O urbs amica Jovis.dicturus es "are you going to say" is the future participle with sum, the active periphrastic; asked with non, the question expects "yes": "will you not say …?" Gataker ends it with a full stop; read it as a question all the same. Jovis is the genitive of Jupiter, whose stem changes in the other cases (Jovi, Jovem, Jove). The world is the city of Jupiter, the common city of gods and men, and deserves the love the poet gave Athens.
  • IV.24 pleraque enim eorum quae dicere et facere consuevimus, cum necessaria non sint, si amputaverimus, a negotiis multo vacabit magis, minusque perturbata futura est nobis vita nostra.
  • IV.36 seminis enim rationem habet quandam quicquid est, ad id quod ex eodem futurum est.ad here means "in relation to". futurum est "is going to be" is the future participle with est: "that which will come to be from it". ex eodem "from the same" means from that very thing which now exists.
  • IV.37 Jam jam moriturus es: necdum simplex es, imperturbatus, posse extrinsecus laedi suspicione immunis, cunctis propitius, juste agere unicam prudentiam ratus?Jam jam is jam "now" doubled: "now, now", i.e. "at any moment". moriturus is the future participle of the deponent morior "die", and with es it makes the active periphrastic: "you are about to die, you are going to die". It puts the death close at hand and certain.
  • IV.39 ista malum nihil opinetur, et bene se habitura sunt omnia.se habere with an adverb means "to be (in some state)": bene se habere "to be well". Here it is future, made with the future participle habitura and sunt: "all things are going to be well". A command joined by et to a future works like a condition: "let it judge so, and all will be well" = "if it judges so, all will be well".
  • V.6 Verum est, fateor, quod dicis. Veruntamen, quod jam dictum est, si secius ceperis, ex eorum numero futurus es, quorum priore loco memineram.futurus es "you are going to be": the future participle with sum. memini with the genitive means "make mention of": quorum … memineram "whom I mentioned"; being perfect in form, it uses its pluperfect memineram as a simple past. priore loco "in the first place": the first kind of benefactor, who charges his kindness to the other's account.
  • V.6 tu autem, si id quod dixeram recte intelligere volueris, noli metuere, ne hac de caussa benefaciendi occasionem ullam sis omissurus.
  • V.16 Talis futura est mens tua, qualia ea sunt quae creberrime cogitaveris.futura est is the future participle of sum with est, "is going to be, will be". cogitaveris is future perfect: by the time your mind has become what it will be, the thinking will have been done. creberrime is the superlative of the adverb crebro "often".
  • V.33 Cinis jamjam futurus es, aut ossa nuda; nomenque tantum, vel ne nomen quidem tui, superfuturum est.futurus es, the future participle of sum with es, is the active periphrastic: "you are going to be, you are about to be". With jamjam "any moment now" (the doubled jam is emphatic) it puts death very close. cinis "ash" and ossa nuda "bare bones" are predicates, what will be left after the pyre or the grave. ossa is the plural of os, ossis "bone", not of os, oris "mouth".superfuturum is the future participle of supersum "to be left over, survive" (super + futurum), agreeing with nomen: nomen … superfuturum est "a name is going to survive". The aside vel ne nomen quidem "or not even a name" uses ne … quidem "not even", which always encloses the word it stresses.
  • V.34 Prospere tibi res tuae sunt perpetuo processurae, si rite incedere potueris, rectaque methodo et opinari et agere.processurae sunt, future participle + sunt, is the active periphrastic: "are going to go forward". prospere procedere "to go forward well" is Gataker's rendering of a Stoic phrase: the Greek speaks of an even, smooth flow of life, the steady course in which Zeno placed happiness. Marcus promises it perpetuo "always", on one condition.
  • V.36 quocunque loco deprehensus, felix futurus sis.
  • VI.12 ad hanc saepius accede, hac acquiesce, cujus ope, cum quae ibi occurrunt tibi futura sunt toleratu facilia, tum et ipse in eis toleratu facilis.futura sunt "are going to be" joins the future participle of sum to sunt. toleratu is the supine in -u of tolero, used with adjectives such as facilis: toleratu facilia "easy to bear", literally "easy in the bearing".
  • VI.16 non tu desines tandem in pretio alia multa habere? nec liber itaque futurus es, nec tibi sufficies, nec perturbationibus immunis eris.itaque "and so" draws the consequence of going on as before: as long as you value many things, you will not be free. futurus es "you are going to be" is the future participle of sum with es. Then nec … nec … nec "neither … nor … nor". sibi sufficere "to be enough for oneself" is to be self-sufficient; immunis "exempt" takes an ablative of what one is free from, perturbationibus.
  • VI.23 in cunctis vero opem divinam advoces: nec interesse existimes, quamdiu haec facturus sis. suffecerint enim sic exactae vel horae tres.The future participle with sum looks ahead: facturus sis "you are going to do, you will be doing". It is subjunctive because it stands in an indirect question.
  • VI.37 Qui praesentia vidit, cuncta vidit, tum quae ab aeterno fuere, tum quae in aeternum futura sunt.
  • VI.44 Siquid de me eisque quae mihi sunt obventura Dii consuluerint, omnino bene consuluerunt.consulere de is "to take counsel about, deliberate about". sunt obventura, the future participle with sunt, is "are going to befall"; obvenio "come one's way" takes the dative (mihi). Dii is one of the plural forms of deus (also di and dei).
  • VI.49 nec itaque, quod tot annos, non autem plures, victurus sis, aegre feras.victurus sis is the future participle of vivo with sis: "(that) you are going to live". tot annos "for so many years" is an accusative of extent of time; plures "more" is the comparative of multus.
  • VII.25 Quaecunque vides, universa mox est mutatura universi rectrix natura, aliaque ex eorum materia effectura, et ex horum rursus alia, ut mundus perpetim renovetur.est mutatura is the future participle with esse, "is going to change". The object comes first for weight: quaecunque vides "whatever you see", taken up after the comma by universa "all (of it)", and the subject only after the verb, universi rectrix natura "Nature, ruler of the universe".
  • VII.46 sed istis Deo dimissis, et mulierculis etiam fide adhibita, fieri non posse ut fatum quisquam quoquo modo effugiat; hoc deinceps ei perpendendum, quomodo tempus hoc, quo victurus sit, quam optime exigat.victurus sit, the future participle of vivo with sit, is the future of a subjunctive clause: "in which he is going to live". quo is an ablative of time. exigere tempus is "to spend time", and quam optime "as well as possible" is quam with the superlative of bene.
  • VII.49 ejusdem enim generis omnino futura sunt; nec possunt eorum quae nunc fiunt modulum transgredi.
  • VII.49 quid enim amplius sis visurus?visurus is the future participle of video, 'going to see', and with sum it makes a future: visurus es 'you are going to see'. The subjunctive sis turns the question into a doubtful, rhetorical one: 'what more could you be going to see?' Nothing: the forty years have shown it all.
  • VII.70 tu vero, qui mox es desiturus, malos tolerando defetisceris? idque cum ex eorum ipse sis numero.desiturus is the future participle of desino "cease"; with es it means "you are going to cease", that is, you will soon die. The gods have eternity to endure; you have a few years.
  • VIII.2 num futurum est, ut ejus poeniteat me?num asks a question expecting the answer "no". futurum est ut "it is going to be that" is a roundabout future, with the ut clause as its subject: "is it going to happen that …?".
  • VIII.2 prope adest tempus, quo moriturus sum, omniaque mihi transitura.The future participle with sum says what is about to happen: moriturus sum "I am going to die". In the second clause sunt is left out: omnia transitura (sunt) "all things are going to pass away". quo "at which" is an ablative of time; its antecedent is tempus.
  • VIII.5 ipse autem paulo post, nullus, nusquam futurus es, quomodo et Hadrianus, et Augustus. tum rem ipsam penitius intuitus, eam in se considera.futurus es "you are going to be": the future participle of esse with es. nullus "no one" and nusquam "nowhere" are the predicate: soon you will not exist at all, nor be in any place.
  • VIII.37 verum, si assiderent, nunquid ipsi hoc sentirent? aut si sentirent, nunquid illos juvaret? aut si eos juvaret, nunquid hi immortales futuri essent?futuri essent is the future participle with essent: "would these be going to be immortal?" The mourners, too, would soon follow their masters.
  • VIII.45 etenim illic quoque genium meum habiturus sum propitium placidumque; hoc nempe contentum, si pro conditionis suae officio habere se agereque possit.habiturus sum "I am going to have" is the future participle with sum. propitium placidumque "kindly and calm" are predicates: "I shall have my guardian spirit kindly", i.e. find it so. The genius is the divine part within a man, his ruling mind; it goes with him wherever he is thrown.
  • VIII.48 quid ergo futurum est, si ratione in consilium adhibita considerate de re aliqua sententiam tulerit?futurum est, the future participle with est, means "is going to be": "what, then, will it be?" The argument runs from the lesser to the greater: if bare obstinacy makes the mind unconquerable, how much more will reason.
  • VIII.50 ludibrio enim futurus es homini scientiae naturalis perito, perinde ac fabro aut sutori, si huic vitio verteres, quod eorum quae conficit ramenta ac segmenta in officina ejus cerneres.
  • VIII.58 atqui, si sensum nullum prorsus habueris, nec mali quicquam sensurus es; sin sensum aliusmodi, animal aliusmodi futurus es, nec vivere desines.habueris is future perfect, "if you shall have had", where English says "if you have". sensurus es, the future participle of sentio with es, is "you are going to feel". mali quicquam "anything of bad" is a partitive genitive: "anything bad".
  • IX.1 adhaec, qui dolorem timet, eorum aliquid timebit, quae in mundo necessario futura sunt. hoc est autem impium.
  • IX.3 etiamsi enim offendi eis te neutiquam oportet, sed curare eos, placideque ferre; meminisse tamen licuerit, quod ab hominibus haud idem tecum sentientibus discessurus es.quod "that" introduces what is to be remembered, where classical Latin would use an accusative and infinitive. sentientibus "thinking" agrees with hominibus: "men not thinking the same as you". idem "the same" can take cum: idem tecum sentire "to think the same with you", that is, to be of one mind with you. tecum is te + cum, as secum is se + cum. discessurus es "you are about to depart" is the future participle with es.
  • IX.30 et quam multi sint, qui nec norint nomen tuum; quam multi, qui mox ejusdem obliviscentur; quam multi, qui cum te nunc laudent, mox vituperaturi sint.cum with the subjunctive is concessive here: "although they praise you now". vituperaturi sint is the future participle with sint, the only way to give a future sense in the subjunctive: "who are going to blame you soon".
  • IX.32 cum et immensum sit quod ortum praecesserit, et interminatum pariter, quod interitum sit consecuturum.consecuturum sit is the future participle of the deponent consequor with sit: "is going to follow". A deponent's future participle is active in form and sense; interitum is its object.
  • IX.40 ista ergo Deos prece poscere incipias; videbis quid futurum sit.An indirect question with the future participle and sit, the usual way of putting a future into the subjunctive: "you will see what will come of it".
  • IX.40 huc, inquam, omnino vota verte tua, et vide quid futurum sit.
  • IX.42 ubi enim recordatus fueris, fieri non posse, quin existat hoc genus hominum; mox erga singulos mitius te habiturus es.se habere with an adverb is "to hold oneself, behave" in some way: mitius te habere "to behave more gently". habiturus es, the future participle with es, is "you are going to": "you will be gentler". mitius is the comparative adverb of mitis "mild"; erga singulos "towards each one" of them.
  • IX.42 quodque cum ratio occasiones tibi justas suppeditet cogitandi, probabile esse illum hoc esse admissurum, tum tamen hoc oblitus, admisisse illum admiraris.
  • X.1 Ecquando futura es, o anima, bona, simplex, una, nuda, corpore te ambiente dilucidior?ecquando "ever?" is quando "when?" strengthened with ec-, as in ecquis "anyone?": it asks, with some impatience, whether a thing will ever happen. futura es is the future participle of sum with es, "are you going to be", a future that looks to what is in store; futura is feminine because the "you" is the soul, anima.
  • X.1 ecquando futura es plena, rei nullius indiga, nihil desiderans ulterius, nihil expetens vel animatum vel inanime, quo frui tibi volupe sit,
  • X.1 sed statu praesenti acquiesces, et praesentibus oblectabere quibusque, et persuasum habitura es, cuncta tibi adesse, cuncta tibi bene se habere;
  • X.1 sed et a Deis provenire, beneque habitura, quaecunque ipsis concedere visum est, et quaecunque concessuri sunt,concessuri sunt "they are going to grant": the future participle with sunt, like futura es.
  • X.1 ecquando ita affecta futura es, quo cum Deis hominibusque ita verseris, ut nec eos quicquam insimules, neque ab eis ipsa condemneris?
  • X.2 atque id facias et admittas, nisi natura tua, qua es animal, inde deterior futura sit.futura sit is the future participle with the subjunctive of sum, the way Latin puts a future into a subjunctive clause: "unless it is going to be worse". inde "from it" means "from your doing so".
  • X.2 et hoc quicquid est, concede tibi, nisi natura tua, qua es animal rationale, deterius inde se habitura sit.
  • X.6 ubi ergo meminerim, partem esse me universi istiusmodi, futurum est, ut quicquid evenerit, gratum mihi acceptumque sit.
  • X.6 in quantum vero necessitudine quadam ejusdem generis partibus conjunctus sum, nihil facturus sum, quod communionis jus violet:facturus sum "I am going to do" is the future participle with sum, here with a note of resolve: "I will do nothing". After the negative nihil, the relative clause takes the subjunctive: "nothing of a kind to violate the law of fellowship".
  • X.8 Intra nomina igitur ista si te continueris, nec ut alii his te titulis cohonestent concupiveris, alius jam futurus es, quam pridem fueras, aliamque initurus vitae rationem.futurus es is the future participle with es: "you are going to be". alius … quam "other … than": "another man than you were before". initurus shares the es: "and (you are) going to enter upon another way of life".
  • X.9 tunc enim simplicitate, tunc gravitate frueris; tunc rei cujusque notitia distincta, quid ex natura sua existat, quem locum in mundo habeat, quam diu duratura sit, ex quibus conflata sit, quibus possit obvenire, qui dare eam et auferre possint.quam diu "how long", printed as two words (often written as one, quamdiu). The future participle with sit gives the future in an indirect question: "how long it will last".
  • X.19 paulo autem ante, quam multis et qua mercede, inserviebant; et paulo post, quo in statu futuri sunt.futuri sunt "they are going to be" is the future participle of esse with sunt. quo in statu is in quo statu "in what state": a monosyllabic preposition often stands between an adjective and its noun. The state meant is death and dissolution.
  • X.21 amat et mundus facere quicquid futurum est ut fiat.
  • X.25 idem est et qui ideo angitur, vel irascitur, vel metuit, quod secus, quam ipse velit, aut factum sit, aut fiat, aut futurum sit eorum quicquam, quae ab universi rectore sunt constituta,
  • X.32 tu tantum statuas, nec ulterius vivere, quam talis futurus sis. neque enim ratio id poscit, ni talis sis.statuas is a jussive subjunctive, "you should resolve", "only resolve". Its object is the infinitive vivere, which nec negates; Gataker uses it here for a plain "not": "not to live". ulterius … quam "longer … than" sets the limit. In talis futurus sis the future participle with sis serves as a future subjunctive, "you are going to be", subjunctive because the clause belongs to your resolution.
  • X.34 foliola itidem, qui famam tui posthumam excepturi sunt.The future participle with sunt: "are going to take up". excipere is to take something over in turn, as one runner takes the torch from another: those who will keep your name alive will fall like leaves too.
  • X.36 bonus sapiensque fuerit, annon ad extremum futurus est qui de illo dicat,
  • XI.1 videtque simul, quod nihil novi visuri sint posteri nostri, sicut nec amplius quicquam viderunt antecessores nostri,
  • XI.2 de saltationis motibus gestibusque singulis, de pancratio itidem, si gemina feceris, futurum est ut pari modo adversus haec afficiaris.futurum est ut "it will be that" with the subjunctive is a roundabout future: "you will be affected in the same way towards these". afficio in the passive with an adverb means "to be disposed, to feel": you will feel the same contempt.
  • XI.16 quodque ad breve admodum tempus opus futurum est cautela hac; tum vita terminabitur.quodque "and that" adds a second thing to remember after recordatus fuerit. opus est "there is need" puts the thing needed in the ablative, cautela hac "of this watchfulness"; here it is future, opus futurum est "there is going to be need", the future participle of sum with est. ad breve tempus is "for a short time". cautela is a late word for "caution, care".
  • XI.16 siquidem enim naturae congrua sunt, eis oblecta te, et facilia futura sunt.
  • XI.17 Cogita tecum, unde prodierit unumquodque, et ex quibus consistat, et in quid mutet, et ubi mutaverit, quale futurum sit, et quod mutando mali nil patitur.
  • XI.19 cogitatio ista non est necessaria; ista societatis inimica; istud non a te dicturus es.The third fault is insincerity. dicturus es, the future participle with es, is "you are going to say", and a te "from yourself" means from your own mind and conviction: "this you would be saying not as your own thought", out of habit, fear or flattery.
  • XI.21 qui enim ad istum conatus suos omnes direxerit, is actiones suas omnes sibi similes praestabit, et hoc modo semper idem futurus est.
  • XI.34 Filiolum deosculanti praecipiebat Epictetus, intus apud se diceret, Cras forsan moriturus est.The words themselves, given directly: "tomorrow perhaps he is going to die". moriturus est, the future participle of morior with est, says what lies ahead.
  • XII.5 hoc vero siquidem sic se habet, pro certo scias, aliter facturos eos fuisse, si aliter fieri oporteret.
  • XII.11 Quanta est hominis potentia, in cujus situm est arbitrio, ut nihil faciat, nisi quod Deus ipse comprobaturus est, et quicquid Deus illi assignaverit, libens excipiat?The future participle with est looks ahead: "what God himself is going to approve". quod "what" stands for id quod "that which".
  • XII.15 An cum lucernae lumen, usquedum extinguatur, luceat, nec splendorem amittat suum; tu admissurus es, ut in te veritas, justitia, temperantia ante extinctum temet extinguatur?The future participle with es: "are you going to allow". admittere ut "to let it happen that" takes the subjunctive.
  • XII.18 curaeque sit tibi hoc ipsum in formam, materiam, finem, et tempus, intra quod desiturum sit, distinguendo explicare.desiturum sit is the future participle of desino "cease" with sit: "(it) is going to cease". Its subject is the thing being examined. The subjunctive is used because the clause belongs to what you are to work out.
  • XII.21 Cogita tecum, brevi fore, ut nec ipse ullus usquam futurus sis, nec quicquam eorum quae vides, nec horum quisquam qui nunc vivunt.
  • XII.22 quandocunque ergo volueris, opinionem tolle, et sicut promontorium praetervecto tranquillitas, sic stabilia tibi futura sunt omnia, et sinus aestu immunis.sicut … sic "as … so". futura sunt "are going to be" is the future participle of sum with sunt: "all things will be steady for you". With sinus aestu immunis "a bay untouched by the swell" supply the verb again: "(there will be) a bay …". immunis "free, exempt" takes an ablative of what one is free from (aestu).
