I thought it was Omne Gallia in tres partes divisa est.

Ummm... Seems to me way back in the archive section of the brain there is a blip that seems to agree that you are correct. So I just searched for other Latin copies of that - what was it, Latin II or Latin III when we had to wade through that? - classic and the additional six or so that I found all showed the text as I posted it. And if I still have my Latin books after all these millenia, er, decades, I haven't the foggiest as to their location so that I could check..

And my Mom (who taught Latin, among a myriad of other things she was certified to teach)is no longer available in this plane for consultation...

Caesar was second year. I forget who was third year. Virgil was fourth year.

Wow! What else did your Mom teach? My Mom knew other languages but refused to teach us.

Oh, Cicero. Did she pronounce it “Kick-er-o”? When we sang Gregorian chant, we used the Italian pronunciation.
