50.15.

qui dicerent: a relative clause of purpose; § 531. 2 (317. 2); B. 282. 2; G. 630; H. 595.ii (497. 1); H-B. 502. 2.

The rest of the chapter consists of the speech of the ambassadors, as reported by Caesar in indir. disc. Notice that the principal clauses are in the infin. with subj. acc., and all dependent clauses in the subjv. (§ 580 ff. (336. ff.); B. 313. ff; G. 650; H. 642-644 (522-524); H-B. 534. i, ii.). In dir. disc. this speech would read as follows:

Nos nostraque omnia in fidem atque in potestam populi Romani permittimus; neque [nos] cum Belgis reliquis consensimus neque contra populum Romanum coniuravimus, paratique sumus et obsides dare et imperata facere et oppidis recipere et frumento ceterisque rebus iuvare; reliqui omnes Belgae in armis sunt, Germanique, qui cis Rhenum incolunt, sese cum his coniunxerunt, tantusque est eorum omnium furor ut ne Suessiones quidem, fratres consanguineosque nostros, qui eodem iure et isdem legibus utunturutantur), unum imperium unumque magistratum nobiscum habenthabeant), deterrere potuerimus quin cum his consentirentconsentiant).
