53.13.

nisiposse: indir. disc. depending on the idea of reporting contained in nuntium mittit. Trans. unless reenforcements, he said, etc. — sibi: i.e. Iccius; the dat. is used instead of ad se with subsidium submittatur, because the idea of help (for him) is more prominent than that of motion (towards him). In the dir. disc. the message of Iccius was:

Nisi subsidium mihi submittetur, egodiutius sustinere non possum.
