71.23.

imperarentur: the subjv. shows that this subordinate clause is a part of the indir. disc. (§ 580 (336. 2); B. 314. 1; G. 650; H. 643 (524); H-B. 534. 2). — facere: sc. se as subj. acc., which is very often omitted by Caesar; cf. 59 23. We should expect facturos [esse]. The pres. infin. standing for facimus of the dir. is somewhat colloquial; § 468 (276. c); G. 228 ; H. 533. 2 (467. 5); cf. H-B. 571. — dixerunt: i.e. the ambassadors on their return.
