Hi, I'd like to point out: "est mihi nulla occasio urbis fugiendae" would be a gerundive with a form of "esse" some books call it predicative gerundive.
Since it has a dative (mihi), the whole construction would be a dative auctoris, meaning something has to be done or mustn't be done. The subject is the dative (mihi) and it becomes a nominative (I). I think it should be: "I must, under no circumstances, flee from the city."

Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker.

So let me get this straight. Gerunds are used when there's no object? So they become the noun?
