Note 3 — XII. Domestic Life
H. W. (Henry William) Auden translation
res moventes; movere is apparently sometimes used intransitively, e.g. terra movet (Liv. 35. 40; 40. 59), but here moventes is probably the participle of the middle moveri (cf. res quae moveri possunt). For parallel examples of a middle verb with a participle present or a gerundive cf. Fin. 2. 10. 31 utra voluptate stante an movente? Suet. Claud. 28 lecticam per urbem vehendi ius; Or. 2. 71. 287 ceteris in campo exercentibus, etc.
