Part F-B (Complete Translation)

Caesar proximō diē castra ex eō locō movit. Idem fēcit Ariovistus. Deinde duōs diēs uterque eōrum suās cōpiās castrīs continuit. Tertiō diē Caesar ad Ariovistum lēgātōs mīsit.

Caesar moved his camp from that place on the next day. Ariovistus did the same. Then for two days each of them kept his forces in camp. On the third day Caesar sent envoys to Ariovistus.

Part F-C (Literary Analysis)

Caesar uses "deinde" here to mark the transition from parallel actions to a new phase of the confrontation. The word effectively signals the pause in military movements and introduces the diplomatic attempt.

Part F-D (Grammatical Notes)

-

"deinde" introduces temporal shift from immediate actions to extended period -

"duōs diēs" (accusative of duration) shows time extent -

Perfect tenses (movit, fēcit, continuit, mīsit) create clear sequence -

"uterque eōrum" demonstrates distributive construction -

Word order emphasizes the parallel actions of both commanders
