Where would you put the caesura? It feels like it should go after iamque, but can you put a caesura in the middle of an elision?

Instead of one caesura in the third foot, you can have two caesurae in the second and fourth feet. I think that's what we've got here:

Nīsus a|bit, || iam|qu(e) imprūd|ēns || ē|vāserat |hostīs
