Dum in his locis Caesar navium parandarum causa moratur, ex magna parte Morinorum ad eum legati venerunt, qui se de superioris temporis consilio excusarent, quod homines barbari et nostrae consuetudinis imperiti bellum populo Romano fecissent, seque ea quae imperasset facturos pollicerentur.
|
While Caesar delays in these places for the sake of preparing the ships, legates came to him from a large part of the Morini, in order to make excuses for their plan of the earlier time, because men, barbaric and inexperienced with our custom, had waged war on the Roman people, and [they came in order] to promise that they would do those things which he had commanded.

|
Caesar, judging that this had happened opportunely enough for him, because he was not wishing to leave an enemy behind his back, did not have an opportunity for waging war on account of the time of year, and did not judge that these concerns over trifling things should be prioritized over Britain, ordered a large number of hostages from them.
