(temporal) (c) Umbrenus, revealed the plan after Gabinius had been called in order that there was greater authority in (his) speech.

(concessive) (e) After the plan had been learned of, Cicero wanted to have the conspirators caught in the act as much as possible. (temporal) (f) When things well done have been spoken of (described) badly, I consider them badly done. (Ennius) [no abl. abs.] (g) Nothing is simultaneously invented and perfected.
