[3] Vbi ea dies venit, Carnutes Cotuato et Conconnetodumno ducibus, desperatis hominibus, Cenabum signo dato concurrunt civesque Romanos, qui negotiandi causa ibi constiterant, in his Gaium Fufium Citam, honestum equitem Romanum, qui rei frumentariae iussu Caesaris praeerat, interficiunt bonaque eorum diripiunt. Celeriter ad omnes Galliae civitates fama perfertur. Nam ubicumque maior atque illustrior incidit res, clamore per agros regionesque significant; hunc alii deinceps excipiunt et proximis tradunt, ut tum accidit. Nam quae Cenabi oriente sole gesta essent, ante primam confectam vigiliam in finibus Arvernorum audita sunt, quod spatium est milium passuum circiter centum LX.

On the appointed day, the Carnutes, under the command of Gotuato and Conconnetodumno, desperate men, meet at Genabum and killed to roman citizens who were there to trade (among those was Gaium Fufium Citam, and honest Roman eqita, put in charge of the supplies by order of Caesar) then plundered and burned the town. All of Gaul quickly heard of the news. For when there is new like this of such great significance: the news is spread by shout and is followed one after the other. For from the time the word reached from Genabum to the boundries of village Arvernorum, it was only the noon watch.

from 3 to 7 and in 9 and following, you are having trouble with the meaning of the vocab. I strongly suggest practicing with flashcards.
ReplyDeleteIn contrast to this, your translation seems well constructed, which unfortunately leads one to believed that it is memorized rather than worked out anew. I really want you to be able to translate whatever is put in front of you. Don't rely too heavily on translations.
