The Ides of March have come

 

 

A certain seer had told him to be on his guard against great danger on a day in the month of March which the Romans call the Ides; and when this day had come and Caesar was going to a meeting of the Senate, he greeted him with a joke, saying, “Well then, the Ides of March have come”; to which the seer replied softly, “Aye, they have come; but they have not gone.”

 

Τις αὐτῷ μάντις ἡμέρᾳ Μαρτίου μηνός, ἣν Εἰδοὺς Ῥωμαῖοι καλοῦσι, προείποι μέγαν φυλάττεσθαι κίνδυνον· ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας προϊὼν ὁ Καῖσαρ εἰς τὴν Σύγκλητον ἀσπασάμενος προσπαίξειε τῷ μάντει, φάμενος, “Αἱ μὲν δὴ Μάρτιαι Εἰδοὶ πάρεισιν,” ὁ δὲ ἡσυχῇ πρὸς αὐτὸν εἴποι, “Ναὶ πάρεισιν, ἀλλ’ οὐ παρεληλύθᾱσι.”

All of Gaul

 

 

 

Πᾶσα ἡ Γάλλια εἰς μοίρᾱς τρεῖς κεχώρισμαι.

 

(Pâsa hē Gállia eis moírās treîs kechṓrismai.)

 

Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres.

 

All of Gaul is divided into three parts.
