The praetor Furius is ordered to restore the arms he unjustly took from the Cenomani, and the praetor Culleo is charged with investigating and sending back the Latin allies who had unlawfully migrated to Rome.
in Gallia M. Furius praetor insontibus Cenomanis,1 in pace speciem belli quaerens, ademerat arma.
In Gallia, the praetor M. Furius, seeking a pretext for war in time of peace, had taken away the arms from the innocent Cenomani.
id Cenomani conquesti Romae apud senatum reiectique ad consulem Aemilium, cui ut cognosceret statueretque senatus permiserat,2 magno certamine cum praetore habito obtinuerunt causam.
The Cenomani, having complained of this in Rome before the senate, were referred to the consul Aemilius, to whom the senate had granted permission to investigate and decide. Having engaged in a great dispute with the praetor, they won their case.
arma reddere Cenomanis, decedere provincia praetor iussus. Legatis deinde sociorum Latini nominis, qui toto undique ex Latio frequentes convenerant, senatus datus est. his querentibus magnam multitudinem civium suorum Romam commigrasse et ibi censos esse, Q. Terentio Culleoni praetori negotium datum est, ut eos conquireret, et quem C. Claudio M. Livio censoribus postve eos censores ipsum parentemve eius apud se censum esse probassent socii, ut redire eo cogeret, ubi censi essent.3
The praetor was ordered to restore the arms to the Cenomani and to depart from the province. Next, to the ambassadors of the allies of the Latin name, who had assembled in large numbers from all over Latium, an audience with the senate was granted. As they complained that a great multitude of their citizens had migrated to Rome and had been registered there, the business was given to the praetor Q. Terentius Culleo to search them out, and to compel those, whom the allies should prove that they themselves or their parents had been registered among them during the censorship of C. Claudius and M. Livius or after those censors, to return to the place where they had been registered.
hac conquisitione duodecim milia Latinorum domos redierunt, iam tum multitudine alienigenarum urbem onerante.
By this search, twelve thousand of the Latins returned home, when even then the multitude of foreigners was burdening the city.
- 39.3.1insontibus Cenomanis
The verb adimere (to take away) takes a dative of separation (or indirect object) for the person from whom something is taken. Here, it means 'from the innocent Cenomani'.
- 39.3.2cui ut cognosceret statueretque senatus permiserat
The relative pronoun cui refers to consulem Aemilium and serves as the dative object of permiserat. The clause ut cognosceret statueretque is a noun clause serving as the direct object of permiserat, meaning 'to whom the senate had granted permission to investigate and decide'.
- 39.3.5quem C. Claudio M. Livio censoribus postve eos censores ipsum parentemve eius apud se censum esse probassent socii, ut redire eo cogeret, ubi censi essent
A highly complex nested structure. Within the clause ut cogeret (to compel...), which is part of the main instruction, there is a relative clause introduced by quem (whom), serving as the object of cogeret. Inside this relative clause, there is an accusative with infinitive construction (ipsum parentemve eius apud se censum esse) serving as the object of probassent, and an ablative absolute indicating time (C. Claudio M. Livio censoribus). The relative pronoun quem functions both as the object of cogeret and as the focus of the restriction proven by the allies.
