9.15.

rogatum: supine (§ 509 (302); B. 340; G. 435; H. 633 (546); H-B. 618). — ita se, etc.: in English supply saying or some such word. In Latin, after the idea of speech or thought is suggested, as here by legatos and rogatum, no further expression of saying is necessary. In dir. disc: this would be, "Ita [nos] … meriti sumus, ut paene in conspectu exercitus vostri, … liberi nostrinon debuerint"; i.e. our services have been such, etc., that we did not deserve to have this happen (as it has). Probably the account is somewhat exaggerated.
