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 the Tolosates, a state which is
    in our province.

  c) When the logical antecedent is a superlative; as,—­

    Themistocles de servis suis, quem habuit fidelissimum, misit,
    Themistocles sent the most trusty slave he had.

  d) In expressions of the following type—­

    qua es prudentia; quae tua est prudentia, such is your prudence (lit.
    of which prudence you are; which is your prudence).

5.  The Relative is never omitted in Latin as it is in English.  Thus the boy I saw must be puer quem vidi.
