People called Romanes they go the house?

I think he tried using a dictionary or translation tool, and failed to consider that "eunt" is the indicative form of "eō"/"īre" (to go) and not the imperative form. So he's stating that Romans go home (with extraordinarily poor grammar, mind you), when he probably means to tell Romans to go home ("Romani ite domum!")

Edit: Apparently this is a Life of Brian reference. I am a fool
