1. Ablative of Time: 256; H. 429. 2. Perfect Participles: 290, d. 1 and 2; H. 550, N. 4.

1. On the departure of the enemy Cæsar sent ahead all his cavalry.

2. At sunset the three legions returned[1] into camp.

3. In the second watch they attacked the enemy’s rear.

4. The Belgæ, fearing[2] an attack, set out at daybreak.

5. The spies, having seen[3] the fugitives, bring back word.[4]

6. Cæsar, after keeping his soldiers in camp, ordered Labienus to set out.

[NOTES.-- 1. returned: two words in Latin. 2. fearing: the participle +veritus+ does not usually denote time _prior_ to that of the main verb in the sentence, like most perfect participles, but the same time. 3. having seen: do not say +vīsi+. 4. bring back word: use +renūntio+.]
