_d._ Observe that qui:dam\ (qui:  + -dam) is declined like qui:\, except that in the accusative singular and genitive plural m\ of qui:\ becomes n\ (cf.  Sec. 287.a):  quendam\, quandam\, quorundam\, quarundam\; also that the neuter has quiddam\ (substantive) and quoddam\ (adjective) in the nominative and accusative singular. Qui:dam\ is the least indefinite of the indefinite pronouns, and implies that you could name the person or thing referred to if you cared to do so.

    _e._ Quisquam\ and quisque\ (substantive) are declined like
    quis\.

    f. Quisquam\, _any one_ (quicquam or quidquam, _anything_),
    is always used substantively and chiefly in negative sentences.  The
    corresponding adjective _any_ is u:llus, -a, -um\ (Sec. 108).

299. HOW HORATIUS HELD THE BRIDGE (Concluded)

Mox, ubi parva pars pontis mansit, Horatius iussit comites discedere et solus mira constantia impetum illius totius exercitus sustinebat.  Denique magno fragore pons in flumen decidit.  Tum vero Horatius tergum vertit et armatus in aquas desiluit.  In eum hostes multa tela iecerunt; incolumis autem per fiuctus ad alteram ripam tranavit.  Ei propter tantas res gestas populus Romanus non solum alia magna praemia dedit sed etiam statuam Horati in loco publico posuit.
