It describes how the news of Caesar's pacification of Gaul led to embassies from trans-Rhenish tribes, Caesar's departure for Italy after putting the legions into winter quarters, and the decree of a fifteen-day thanksgiving in Rome.
His rebus gestis omni Gallia pacata, tanta huius belli ad barbaros opinio perlata est uti ab iis nationibus quae trans Rhenum incolerent legationes ad Caesarem mitterentur, quae se obsides daturas, imperata facturas pollicerentur.1
Upon the accomplishment of these things and the pacification of all Gaul, so great an opinion of this war was spread among the barbarians that embassies were sent to Caesar by those nations that dwelt across the Rhine, to promise that they would give hostages and perform his commands.
Quas legationes Caesar, quod in Italiam Illyricumque properabat, inita proxima aestate ad se reverti iussit.
Caesar, because he was hastening to Italy and Illyricum, ordered these embassies to return to him at the beginning of the next summer.
Ipse in Carnutes, Andes, Turonos quaeque civitates propinquae iis locis erant ubi bellum gesserat, legionibus in hiberna deductis,2 in Italiam profectus est.
He himself, having led the legions into winter quarters among the Carnutes, Andes, Turoni, and those states which were near the places where he had waged war, set out for Italy.
Ob easque res ex litteris Caesaris dierum XV supplicatio decreta est, quod ante id tempus accidit nulli.3
And on account of these achievements, a thanksgiving of fifteen days was decreed upon Caesar’s letter, a thing which before that time had happened to no one.
- 2.35.1quae se obsides daturas, imperata facturas pollicerentur
The relative pronoun "quae" refers back to "legationes". The subjunctive "pollicerentur" indicates the purpose or character of the embassies. "daturas" and "facturas" are future active participles with "esse" omitted, forming future infinitives. The subject of the infinitive, "se", refers to the nations that sent the embassies.
- 2.35.3in Carnutes, Andes, Turonos quaeque civitates ... legionibus in hiberna deductis
The prepositional phrase "in Carnutes, Andes, Turonos..." goes with the past participle "deductis" in the ablative absolute clause "legionibus... deductis", indicating the direction/destination of leading the legions into winter quarters.
- 2.35.4quod ante id tempus accidit nulli
The neuter singular relative pronoun "quod" refers to the entire preceding clause (the decree of a fifteen-day thanksgiving). The dative "nulli" is the complement of the verb "accidit".
