Henle I, Ex. 353 No. 8, First Sentence

[Ron]

I don't understand why "agam" is not in the imperfect subjunctive (agerem). Shouldn't the verb in a purpose clause be in the imperfect subjunctive whenerver the the verb (vocavi) in the main clause is in a secondary tense?

TEXT:
8. Gallorum dux suis, "Ego vos," inquit, "in hunc locum vocavi ut de belli ratione agam."

ANSWER KEY:

8. The leader of the Gausl said to his men, "I have called you to this place in order to treat (discuss) the conduct of the war."

Am I missing something obvious?

Ron, you're right. After double checking with Mr. Stephen Long we agree that agam should be agerem... well done... and a very nice catch to catch an error in this book.

Usually I find my own error as I'm composing a question on this board. This time I couldn't and now I know why. The wife was very impressed. I think she'll allow me to continue my Latin studies. Thanks for the help.
