The Segni and Condrusi send ambassadors to Caesar pleading their innocence, which Caesar accepts on certain conditions. Caesar deposits the baggage of all the legions at Aduatuca under the guard of the fourteenth legion and Cicero.
Segni Condrusique, ex gente et numero Germanorum, qui sunt inter Eburones Treverosque, legatos ad Caesarem miserunt oratum,1 ne se in hostium numero duceret2 neve omnium Germanorum, qui essent citra Rhenum, unam esse causam iudicaret: nihil se de bello cogitavisse,3 nulla Ambiorigi auxilia misisse.
The Segni and Condrusi, of the nation and number of the Germans, who are situated between the Eburones and the Treveri, sent ambassadors to Caesar to entreat that he would not regard them in the number of his enemies, nor conclude that the cause of all the Germans who were on this side of the Rhine was one and the same; asserting that they had not thought of war, and had sent no auxiliaries to Ambiorix.
Caesar explorata re quaestione captivorum, si qui ad eos Eburones ex fuga convenissent, ad se ut reducerentur,4 imperavit; si ita fecissent, fines eorum se violaturum negavit.
Caesar, having investigated the matter by the interrogation of prisoners, commanded that if any Eburones should flee to them and assemble there, they should be brought back to him; and declared that if they did so, he would not violate their territories.
Tum copiis in tres partes distributis impedimenta omnium legionum Aduatucam contulit.
Then, having divided his forces into three parts, he conveyed the baggage of all the legions to Aduatuca.
Id castelli nomen est. Hoc fere est in mediis Eburonum finibus, ubi Titurius atque Aurunculeius hiemandi causa consederant.
That is the name of a fort. This is situated nearly in the middle of the territory of the Eburones, where Titurius and Aurunculeius had taken up their quarters for the purpose of wintering.
Hunc cum reliquis rebus locum probabat, tum quod superioris anni munitiones integrae manebant, ut militum laborem sublevaret. Praesidio impedimentis5 legionem quartamdecimam reliquit, unam ex eis tribus, quas proxime conscriptas ex Italia traduxerat.
He approved of this place for many other reasons, and especially because the fortifications of the previous year remained entire, so that he might relieve the labor of the soldiers. As a guard for the baggage he left the fourteenth legion, one of those three which he had lately levied in Italy and brought over.
Ei legioni castrisque Quintum Tullium Ciceronem praeficit ducentosque equites attribuit.
Over that legion and the camp he placed Quintus Tullius Cicero, and assigned him two hundred cavalry.
