C. Iulius Caesar, De Bello Gallico 4.31

Caesar does not yet know what the chiefs have decided, and the fleet is lying damaged on the beach. The passage covers the work of the Roman camp in the days that follow: grain, salvage, and repairs.

Caesar cōnsilia Britannōrum nōndum sciēbat. sed perīculum timēbat. tempestās enim nāvēs Rōmānās frēgerat. Britannī quoque obsidēs iam nōn dabant.

 

itaque Caesar ad omnia sē parābat. omnī diē mīlitēs frūmentum ex agrīs in castra portābant. Caesar māteriam nāvium frāctārum sūmēbat et aliās nāvēs reficiēbat. mīlitēs quoque rēs ūtilēs ex Galliā portābant.

 

mīlitēs magnō studiō labōrābant. XII nāvēs periērant, sed reliquae nāvēs bonae erant. itaque mīlitēs nāvigāre poterant.
