Caesar led his army back, held a council of Gaul, and executed the conspiracy leader Acco while outlawing those who fled. He then stationed his legions in winter quarters and departed for Italy to hold the assizes.
Tali modo vastatis regionibus exercitum Caesar duarum cohortium damno Durocortorum Remorum reducit concilioque in eum locum Galliae indicto de coniuratione Senonum et Carnutum quaestionem habere instituit et de Accone,1 qui princeps eius consili fuerat, graviore sententia pronuntiata more maiorum supplicium sumpsit.
Having laid waste the territories in this manner, Caesar led back his army, with the loss of two cohorts, to Durocortorum of the Remi; and having summoned a council of Gaul to that place, he resolved to hold an inquiry regarding the conspiracy of the Senones and Carnutes; and as for Acco, who had been the leader of that plot, having pronounced a more severe sentence, he inflicted punishment on him after the custom of their ancestors.
Non nulli iudicium veriti profugerunt. Quibus cum aqua atque igni interdixisset,2 duas legiones ad fines Treverorum, duas in Lingonibus, sex reliquas in Senonum finibus Agedinci in hibernis collocavit frumentoque exercitui proviso, ut instituerat, in Italiam ad conventus agendos profectus est.
Some, fearing the judgment, fled. When he had forbidden these the use of fire and water, he stationed two legions in winter quarters at the borders of the Treveri, two among the Lingones, and the remaining six at Agedincum in the territory of the Senones; and having provided corn for the army, he set out, as he had determined, for Italy to hold the assizes.
- 6.44.1de Accone
Although seemingly parallel to de coniuratione dependent on instituit in the previous clause, it actually functionalizes with supplicium sumpsit in §6.44.2, completing the idiom supplicium sumere de aliquo (to inflict punishment on someone). This represents a syntactic hyperbaton spanning across the sentence boundary.
- 6.44.3Quibus cum aqua atque igni interdixisset
The verb interdicere takes a dative (here the relative pronoun Quibus referring to the fugitives) and an ablative (aqua atque igni), meaning "to forbid someone the use of something." This refers to the Roman legal formula of outlawry or banishment ("interdiction of fire and water").
