Caninius, having wiped out the external enemy, resumes the siege of Uxellodunum, and Gaius Fabius arrives with his forces the next day to assist in the blockade.
Caninius felicissime re gesta sine ullo paene militis vulnere ad obsidendos oppidanos revertitur externoque hoste deleto, cuius timore1 antea dividere praesidia et munitione oppidanos circumdare prohibitus erat,2 opera undique imperat administrari.3 Venit eodem cum suis copiis postero die Gaius Fabius partemque oppidi sumit ad obsidendum.
Caninius, having successfully completed the operation with almost no casualties among his soldiers, returns to blockade the townspeople. And now that the external enemy was destroyed, through fear of whom he had previously been prevented from dividing his garrisons and surrounding the townspeople with a wall, he orders the works to be carried on in every direction. On the following day, Gaius Fabius arrives at the same place with his forces and takes a part of the town to blockade.
- 8.37.2cuius timore
The genitive relative pronoun cuius refers to the antecedent externo hoste and functions as an objective genitive in relation to the noun timore (ablative of cause, "by fear of"), meaning "from fear of them (the external enemy)".
- 8.37.2prohibitus erat
The subject (Caninius) is the subject of the passive main verb prohibitus erat, which takes the complementary infinitives dividere and circumdare ("he had been prevented from dividing... and surrounding...").
- 8.37.2opera ... administrari
The verb imperat (orders) governs the accusative and infinitive (A.C.I.) construction consisting of the passive infinitive administrari and its subject accusative opera, meaning "he orders the works to be carried on."
