[*] 59.1. pro his, in behalf of these, i.e. the Bellovaci. [*] 59.2. eum: i.e. Caesar. [*] 59.3. Bellovacos, etc.: the rest of this chapter is in indir. disc., depending on facit verba. Direct — Bellovaci omni tempore in fide atque amicitia civitatis Haeduae fuerunt; impulsi ab suis principibus, qui dicebant Haeduos a Caesare in servitutem redactos omnīs indignitatīs … perferre, et ab Haeduis defecerunt et populo Romano bellum intulerunt. Qui eius consili principes fuerant, quod intellegebant quantam calamitatem civitati intulissent, in Britanniam profugerunt. Petunt non solum Bellovaci sed etiam pro his Haedui ut tua clementia ac mansuetudine in eos utaris. Quod si feceris, Haeduorum auctoritatem apud omnis Belgas amplificabis, quorum auxiliis atque opibus, si qua belle inciderunt, sustentare consuerunt. [*] 59.3b. omni tempore, always. — in fide atque amicitia: i.e. they had been subject-allies of the Haedui. [*] 59.4. impulsos （notice the emphatic position: not of their own accord, but induced by their chiefs）: agreeing with the subject （eos） of defecisse and intulisse, which is to be supplied from Bellovacos. [*] 59.5. dicerent: this word introduces another clause in the indir. disc., the statement of the chiefs, which is thus reported at second-hand by Caesar as a part of the speech of Diviciacus. The subject is Haeduos; the verb, perferre. — omnīs, all [kinds of]. [*] 59.7. qui, [those] who. — eius consili （§ 348 (217); B. 200; G. 363. 2; H. 440. 2 (396. iii); H-B. 354）, in this design: notice that the gen. expresses nearly all the relations of one noun to another, and may be translated by in, to, and many other forms of speech in English. [*] 59.8. quantam … intulissent: cf. 50 26, and note. [*] 59.9. civitati:§ 370 (228); B. 187. iii; G. 347 ; H. 429 (386); H-B. 376. — Britanniam: the support and sympathy which the Gauls received from Britain was Caesar's excuse for his subsequent expedition there. — profugisse: the subject is the implied antecedent of qui. [*] 59.10. sua clementia, his [characteristic or well-known] clemency: for the case, cf. 50 23, 54 1. [*] 59.11. in eos: but for the interposition of Haeduos, this would be in se （§ 300. b (196. 2); B. 244. ii; G. 520, 521; H. 504 (449. 1); H-B. 262. 2,）, here, as often, the last word or thought governs the construction — utatur: subst. clause of purpose, after petere （§ 563. a (331. a); B. 295. 4; G. 546; H. 564. iii (499. 3); H-B. 530. 2.ftn. 1）; cf. also 6 10, and note. Observe that from this point the present and perfect tenses of the subjv. are used ; cf. cognoverint, 51 11, and note. — quod si fecerit: fut. condition （more vivid） ; fecerit is perf. subjv for the fut. perf. indic of the dir. disc. The apodosis is amplificaturum （§ 516. a (307. a); B. 302; G. 595 ; H. 574. 2 (508. 2); H-B. 579. a）; on the use of quod, see note on qui cum, 58 9. [*] 59.13. quorum: the antecedent is Belgas. — si qua bella inciderint, sustentare consuerint: general condition; see dir disc. above. For the tenses used in general conditions, see § 518. b (309. c); G. 594. N.; H. 578. 1 (508. 5); cf. H-B. 579, 577. a. [*] 59.14. consuerint: present in force; see § 205. b. N. 2 (143. c. N.); B. 262. A; G. 175. 5, 236. R.: H. 299. 2 (297. i. 2); H-B. 487.
