Caesar 1.7 Flashcards
Caeari cum id nuntiatum esset eos per provinciam nostram iter facere conari, matura ab urbe proficisci et quam maximis potest itineribus in Galliam ulteroirem contendit et ad Genevam pervenit
When it was announced to Caesar that they were trying to make a journey through our province, he hastened to leave the city and hastened into farther Gaul with as many marches as he is able, and he arrived at Geneva.
provinciae toti quam maximum potest militum numerum imperat - erat omnino in Gallia ulteriore lego una
He levies as from the entire province the greatest number of soldiers as he is able - the only legion is entirely in farther Gaul
pontem qui erat ad Genevam iubet rescindi. ubi de eius adventu Helvetii certiore facti sunt legatos ad eum mittunt nobilissimos civitatis, cuius legationis Nameius et Verucloetius principem locum obtinebant
He orders that the bridge which was towards Geneva be destroyed. When the Helvetii were made more certain of the approach of Caesar, they sent legates to him, the most noble of the state, Nameius and Verucleotius obtained the principle rank of whose legation.
qui dicerent sibi esse in animo sine ullo maleficio iter per provinciam facere propterea quod aliud iter haberent nullam
who said to Caesar that there was in mind a journey through the province without any harm because they had no other route.
rogare ut eius voluntate id sibi facere liceat
They ask that it be permitted for them to make a journey by the good will of Caesar.
Caesar, quod memoria tenebat L. Cassium consulem occisum exercitumque eius ab Helvetiis pulsum et sub iugum missum concendum non putabat
Caeasar, because he held in memory that the consul L. Cassius had been killed and his army had been driven away by the Helvetii and sent under the yoke, was thinking that he shouldn’t allow (it).
neque homines inimico animo data facultate per provinciam itineris faciundi tempteraturos ab iniuria et maleficio existimabat
Nor was he considering that men with a hostile mind, having been given the opportunity of making a journey through the province, would refrain from injury and harm.
tamen, ut spatium intercedere posset, dum milites quos imperaverat convenirent, legatis respondit diem se ad deliberandum sumpturum si quid vellent, ad Idus Apriles reverterentur
Nonetheless, in order that space was able to come between, until soldiers which he levied could come together, he responded to the legates that he was going to choose the day for deliberating, is they want anything, they should return by the Ides of April
