I have understood that Explicative sentences in Latin are quod sentences. The quin sentences are either Consecutive sentences or Final clauses.

I use Loeb classical library for Latin texts from antiquity. This question regarding the manuscript is interesting and needs to be looked at from a manuscriptual study.Well, I have an anthology of Roman history. Maybe yours is more correct. The sense doesn't change however.
If you worked on the manuscript, you went really ad fontes so yours is definitely better.
Hmmm, do you agree with the translation (apart from the technicalities)?
Thank you for comments on that translation but my point there was not really the translation but rather if consecutio temporum are correct for the verbs that are there.Hmmm, do you agree with the translation (apart from the technicalities)?
Quin, has a number of uses, depending on the context:
1) Relative pronoun (quin = qui non)
e.g. nemo aderat quin fleret
(only when the governing clause has a negative meaning)
They noticed one, which was the only one that wasn't weeping
2) Adverb (quin? = cur non?)
3)Coordinate conjunction
(also accompanied by "etiam")
4)Subordinate conjunction,
(only when the governing clause has a negative meaning)
and I think this is the case.
So it is a subordinate IMHO.
