ABSTRACT

You have met quod, the neuter singular of quī, meaning what?, which or any(thing). You have also seen it as a conjunction meaning that, in that or because:

quippe indīgnātur veterī pārēre clientī

quod -que aliquid poscās et quod sē stante recumbās

to be sure he thinks it demeaning to obey an old client and (is resentful) because you ask for something and because you recline while he stands [14.2]

eādem operā accūsent Catullum, quod Lesbiam prō Clodiā nōminārit

by the same token they may as well accuse Catullus, because he used the name Lesbia in place of Clodia [15.11]
