Tacuit itaque populus, et non respondit ei quidquam: siquidem præceptum regis acceperant ut non responderent ei.
But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for they had received commandment from the king that they should not answer him.
Populo itaque tace, et non responde ad illo ullo: siquidem praecepto de rege accipe ut non responde ad illo.
