Fabius marched his army toward the Carnutes and other states, quickly receiving their surrender as they were weakened by previous defeats, while Dumnacus was forced to flee.
Gaius Fabius cum reliquo exercitu in Carnutes ceterasque proficiscitur civitates, quarum eo proelio, quod cum Dumnaco fecerat, copias esse accisas sciebat.1
Gaius Fabius set out with the rest of the army against the Carnutes and the other states, whose forces he knew had been shattered in that battle which he had fought with Dumnacus.
Non enim dubitabat quin recenti calamitate summissiores essent futurae, dato vero spatio ac tempore eodem instigante Dumnaco possent concitari.2
For he did not doubt that they would be more submissive because of their recent disaster, but that, if space and time were granted, they might be incited by the instigation of the same Dumnacus.
Qua in re summa felicitas celeritasque in recipiendis civitatibus Fabium consequitur.
In this matter, the greatest good fortune and speed attended Fabius in recovering the states.
Nam Carnutes, qui saepe vexati numquam pacis fecerant mentionem, datis obsidibus veniunt in deditionem, ceteraeque civitates positae in ultimis Galliae finibus Oceano coniunctae, quae Armoricae appellantur, auctoritate adductae Carnutum adventu Fabi legionumque imperata sine mora faciunt.
For the Carnutes, who, though often harassed, had never made mention of peace, surrendered after giving hostages; and the other states, situated in the remotest borders of Gaul adjoining the Ocean, which are called Armorican, induced by the authority of the Carnutes, immediately executed the commands upon the arrival of Fabius and the legions.
Dumnacus suis finibus expulsus errans latitansque solus extremas Galliae regiones petere est coactus.
Dumnacus, expelled from his own territories, wandering and hiding alone, was compelled to seek the remotest regions of Gaul.
- 8.31.1quarum eo proelio, quod cum Dumnaco fecerat, copias esse accisas sciebat
The antecedent of the relative pronoun quarum is Carnutes ceterasque... civitates. The subject of the relative clause quod cum Dumnaco fecerat ("which he had fought with Dumnacus") is Fabius, and the entire clause modifies eo proelio. The phrase copias esse accisas is an accusative with infinitive clause functioning as the object of sciebat.
- 8.31.2non dubitabat quin... essent futurae... possent concitari
Inside the quin-clause introduced by the verb of doubting non dubitabat, two subjunctive verbs, essent futurae (future active participle + essent) and possent, are coordinated. The latter is accompanied by two ablative absolute constructions, dato... spatio ac tempore and eodem instigante Dumnaco, expressing condition and cause.
