eement. 1. The Relative Pronoun agrees with its antecedent in
Gender, Number, and Person, but its case is determined by its construction
in the clause in which it stands; as,--

mulier quam videbamus, _the woman whom we saw_;

bona quibus fruimur, _the blessings which we enjoy_.

2. Where the antecedent is compound, the same principles for number and
gender prevail as in case of predicate adjectives under similar conditions
(see Sec. 235, B, 2). Thus:--

pater et filius, qui capti sunt, _the father and son who were
captured_;

stultitia et timiditas quae fugienda sunt, _folly and cowardice which
must be shunned_;

honores et victoriae quae sunt fortuita, _honors and victories, which
are accidental_.

3. The Relative regularly agrees with a predicate noun (either Nominative
or Accusative) instead of its antecedent; as,--

carcer, quae lautumiae vocantur, _the prison, which is called
Lautumiae_;

Belgae, quae est tertia pars, _the Belgians, who are the third part_.

4. Sometimes the Relative takes its gender and number from the meaning of
its antecedent; as,--

pars qui bestiis objecti sunt, _a part (of the men) who were thrown to
beasts._

5. Occasionally the Relative is attracted into the case of its antecedent;
as,--

natus eo patre quo dixi, _born of the father that I said_.

251. Antecedent. 1. The antecedent of the Relative is sometimes omitted;
as,--

qui naturam sequitur sapiens est, _he who follows Nature is wise_.

2. The antecedent may be implied in a possessive pronoun (or rarely an
adjective); as,--

nostra qui remansimus caedes, _the slaughter of us who remained_;

servili tumultu, quos usus ac disciplina sublevarunt, _at the uprising
of the slaves, whom experience and discipline assisted_ (servili =
servorum).

3. Sometimes the antecedent is repeated with the Relative; as,--

erant itinera duo, quibus itineribus, _there were two routes, by which
(routes)._

4. Incorporation of Antecedent in Relative Clause. The antecedent is often
incorporated in the relative clause. Thus:--

a) When the relative clause stands first; as,--

quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat, _let each one practice
the branch which he knows._

b) When the antecedent is an appositive; as,--

non longe a Tolosatium finibus absunt, quae civitas est in provincia,
_they are not far from the borders of
