12.11.

quod: cf. note on quod, 11 17. — sua: i.e. the Helvetians; so se tulisse, that they had committed.quodadmirarentur: the two quod clauses are used as the subject of pertinere, as for their boasting, etc., and as for their wondering, etc., it tended in the same direction; i.e. it all belonged together in the divine purpose of exalting them expressly to make the fall more marked. "Divico had not said anything in the way of direct boasting. This eloquent passage was perhaps an answer to his manner, or to the fact that he was the same Divico who had slain Lucius Cassius."
