De bello gallico

Galli se omnes ab Dite patre prognatos praedicant idque ab Druidibus proditum dicunt.

The Gauls declare that they are all descended from Father Dis and they say that it has been handed down by the Druids.

Ob eam causam spatia omnis temporis non numero dierum sed noctium finiunt;

For this reason, they determine the lengths of all time not by the number of days, but of nights;

dies natales et mensum et annorum initia sic observant ut noctem dies subsequatur.

they observe birthdays and the beginnings of both months and years in such a way that the day follows closely the night.
