Hello, just begun the Satyricon, in fact, this has me puzzled on the first page.
Nunc et rerum tumore et sententiarum . . . hoc tantum proficiunt ut cum in forum venerint putent se in alium orbem terrarum delatos.
1. 6 Satyricon Loeb
Does "cum in forum venerint" mean "whenever they come to court" rather then "when . . ." With "venerint" as fut. Ind. Perf. ? I have seen it translated as "when" but cum is not temporal, I believe, when used with a perfect subjunctive.
Many thanks.
