26.06.26: Level 3 (review); a Second Latin Reader (Vincent) [16]: the conspiracy of Dumnorix

Language focus: accusative and infinitive

Intereā Caesar cognōvit [1] Aeduōs frūmentum nōn mīsisse. Itaque multī prīncipēs Aeduōrum, quī erant in castrīs, ad concilium sunt convocātī. Quīdam ex Aeduīs Caesarem certiōrem fēcit [2] nōnnullōs plūs valēre apud multitūdinem quam magistrātūs; propter illōs [3] nullum frūmentum ad Rōmānōs esse comportātum. Posteā Caesar cognōvit [4] initium fugae in proeliō equestrī ā Dumnorige atque ēius equitibus factum esse. Sed Caesar Divitiacum frātrem Dumnorigis offendere nōlēbat.

Meanwhile Caesar learned [1] that the Aedui had not sent the grain. Therefore many leading men of the Aedui, who were in the camp, were summoned to a council. One of the Aedui informed Caesar [2] that certain men had more influence with the populace than the magistrates; because of them [3] no grain had been brought to the Romans. Afterwards Caesar learned [4] that the beginning of the flight in the cavalry battle had been made by Dumnorix and his horsemen. But Caesar did not wish to offend Divitiacus, the brother of Dumnorix.
