3. Cæsar, when he had received their submission, asked the men for their3 arms.
4. According to their4 custom they stretched out their hands and asked the Romans for peace.
Notes.— 1 Render this clause in two ways: first by two words, then by a full clause. So each of the three following sentences contains a clause to be rendered in two ways. 2 Cæsar for peace: quite otherwise in Latin. 3 their: omit. 4 their: is this to be expressed by eōrum?
