omnis enim multitudo oppidanorum armis proiectis munitionibusque suis relictis, veste ea sumpta qua supplices dominantis deprecari consuerunt, sacrisque omnibus prolatis quorum religione precari offensos iratosque animos regum erant soliti, advenienti Caesari occurrerunt seque ei dediderunt.
For the entire population of the townspeople threw down their arms, abandoned their fortifications, and assumed the garb which suppliants use to placate tyrants with earnest prayers, and brought forth all the sacred emblems by the sanctity of which they had been accustomed to conjure the embittered and wrathful hearts of their kings. Thus, they hastened to meet Caesar upon his arrival and surrendered themselves to him.
