Sentence #1: put the chapter in order Dum ea geruntur, legiōne ex cōnsuētūdine ūnā frūmentātum mīssā quae appellābātur septima, neque ūllā ad id tempus bellī suspīciōne interpositā, cum pars hominum in agrīs remanēret, pars etiam in castra ventitāret, eī quī prō portīs castrōrum in statiōne erant Caesarī nūntiāvērunt pulverem māiōrem quam cōnsuētūdō ferret in eā parte vidērī quam in partem legiō iter fēcisset. 1 While these things are being carried on 2 with one legion from custom 3 having been sent out to forage 4 which was called the seventh 5 and with not any suspicion of war 6 having been introduced at this time 7 when part of the men 8 remained in the fields, 9 part also went back and forth, 10 those who were on guard duty 11 in front of the gates of the camp 12 announced to Caesar that 13 more dust than custom brought 14 was seen in that part 15 into which part 16 the legion had made their march. Sentence #2: put the chapter in order Caesar id quod erat suspicātus, aliquid novī ā barbarīs initum cōnsilī, cohortēs quae in statiōnibus erant sēcum in eam partem proficīscī, ex reliquīs duās in statiōnem succēdere, reliquās armārī et cōnfestim sēsē subsequī iussit. 17 Caesar having suspected 18 it which was, 19 something of a new plan 20 having been undertaken by the barbarians, 21 he ordered the cohorts 22 which were on guard duty 23 to set out with him 24 to this part, 25 from the rest two cohorts 26 to take their place at guard duty, 27 the rest to be armed 28 and to follow him without delay. Sentence #3: put the chapter in order Cum paulō longius ā castrīs prōcessisset, suōs ab hostibus premī atque aegrē sustinēre et cōnfertā legiōne ex omnibus partibus tēla cōicī animadvertit. 29 When he had advanced 30 farther by a little from the camp, 31 he noticed that 32 his men were pressed by the enemy 33 and endured [it] poorly 34 and with the legion closely packed 35 weapons were thrown from all parts. Sentence #4: put the chapter in order Nam quod omnī ex reliquīs partibus dēmessō frūmentō pars ūna erat reliqua, suspicātī hostēs hūc nostrōs esse ventūrōs noctū in silvīs dēlituerant; tum dispersōs, dēpositīs armīs in metendō occupātōs subitō adortī, paucīs interfectīs reliquōs incertīs ōrdinibus perturbāverant, simul equitātū atque essedīs circumdederant. 36 For because 37 with all the grain having been harvested 38 from the remaining parts 39 one part was remaining, 40 the enemy having suspected that 41 our men would go 42 here at night 43 they hid in the woods; 44 then suddenly having attacked 45 the scattered men, 46 with weapons having been put down occupied in reaping, 47 with a few having been killed 48 they disturbed the rest while their ranks were disturbed, 49 at the same time they had surrounded 50 with cavalry and charioteers.
