DBG IV.27

Hostes proelio superati, simul atque se ex fuga receperunt, statim ad Caesarem legatos de pace miserunt; obsides sese daturos quaeque imperasset facturos polliciti sunt.

The enemies having been ocercome in battle, as soon as they recovered themselves from flight, they immediately sent ambassadors to Caesar about peace; they promised that they will give hostages and which things he commanded that they will do.

Una cum his legatis Commius Atrebas venit, quem supra demonstraveram a Caesare in Britanniam praemissum.

Commius Atrebas came with these legions together whom I had mentioned above had been sent into Britain.

Hunc illi e navi egressum, cum ad eos oratoris modo Caesaris mandata deferret, comprehenderant atque in vincula coniecerant;

They seized this man gaving disembarked from that ship, since he brought the comands of Caesar to them in the manner of a speaker and they threw him into chains;

tum proelio facto remiserunt et in petenda pace eius rei culpam in multitudinem contulerunt et propter imprudentiam ut ignosceretur petiverunt.

then with the battle having been made they sent him back in seeking peace, they brought the blame of this kind into the multitude and on account of the lack of foresight they sought that they be forgiven.

Caesar questus quod, cum ultro in continentem legatis missis pacem ab se petissent, bellum sine causa intulissent, ignoscere se imprudentiae dixit obsidesque imperavit;

Caesar having complained that since they had sought peace from them further into the continent with ambassadors having been sent, they waged war without cause, he said that he pardons their lack of foresight and he commanded the hostages,

quorum illi partem statim dederunt, partem ex longinquioribus locis arcessitam paucis diebus sese daturos dixerunt.

part of whom they gave immediately, part from move far away places, they said that they will give having been summoned in a few days.

Interea suos in agros remigrare iusserunt, principesque undique convenire et se civitatesque suas Caesari commendare coeperunt.

Meanwhile they ordered their own to return into the fields, and the leaders began to gather everywhere and began to entrust themselves and their own citizens to Caesar.
