The majority of the Aquitanian tribes surrendered to Crassus and sent hostages, while only a few remote tribes, relying on the approaching winter, neglected to do so.
Hac audita pugna1 maxima pars Aquitaniae sese Crasso dedidit obsidesque ultro misit; quo in numero fuerunt Tarbelli, Bigerriones, Ptianii, Vocates, Tarusates, Elusates, Gates, Ausci, Garumni, Sibusates, Cocosates:
On hearing of this battle, the greatest part of Aquitania surrendered to Crassus, and of their own accord sent hostages; in which number were the Tarbelli, Bigerriones, Ptianii, Vocates, Tarusates, Elusates, Gates, Ausci, Garumni, Sibusates, and Cocosates:
paucae ultimae nationes anni tempore confisae,2 quod hiems suberat, id facere3 neglexerunt.
a few of the most remote nations, relying on the season of the year, because winter was at hand, neglected to do this.
- 3.27.1Hac audita pugna
Ablative absolute consisting of the noun pugna and the perfect participle audita. Literally 'this battle having been heard of', it contextually functions as 'when the news of this battle was heard'.
- 3.27.2confisae
Perfect participle of the semi-deponent verb confidere (to trust, rely on). It has an active meaning ('relying on') and agrees in gender, number, and case (nominative feminine plural) with the subject nationes, taking the ablative anni tempore as its complement.
- 3.27.2id facere
The pronoun id, which is the object of the infinitive facere, refers back to the actions described in the preceding sentence: sese dedere et obsides mittere (surrendering and sending hostages).
