As Lucterius rallies various Gallic tribes to invade the Roman province, Caesar hastens to Narbo to organize defenses and orders his forces to assemble in the territory of the Helvii.
Interim Lucterius Cadurcus in Rutenos missus eam civitatem Arvernis conciliat.
Meanwhile, Lucterius the Cadurcan, having been sent among the Ruteni, wins over that state to the Arverni.
Progressus in Nitiobriges et Gabalos ab utrisque obsides accipit et magna coacta manu in provinciam Narbonem versus1 eruptionem facere contendit.
Having advanced into the territories of the Nitiobriges and the Gabali, he receives hostages from both, and, having assembled a large force, hastens to make an incursion into the province in the direction of Narbo.
Qua re nuntiata Caesar omnibus consiliis antevertendum2 existimavit, ut Narbonem proficisceretur.
When this matter was reported, Caesar thought that he ought to postpone all other plans for the sake of setting out for Narbo.
Eo cum venisset, timentes confirmat, praesidia in Rutenis provincialibus, Volcis Arecomicis, Tolosatibus circumque Narbonem, quae loca hostibus erant finitima, constituit;
When he had arrived there, he encouraged those who were terrified, and stationed garrisons among the provincial Ruteni, the Volcae Arecomici, the Tolosates, and around Narbo, which districts were adjacent to the enemy;
partem copiarum ex provincia supplementumque, quod ex Italia adduxerat, in Helvios, qui fines Arvernorum contingunt, convenire iubet.
he orders a part of the forces from the province, and the recruits whom he had brought from Italy, to assemble in the territory of the Helvii, who border on the territories of the Arverni.
- 7.7.2versus
A postposition taking the accusative Narbonem, meaning 'towards Narbo'. Positioned alongside the prepositional phrase 'in provinciam', it specifies the exact direction: 'into the province, in the direction of Narbo'.
- 7.7.3antevertendum
An impersonal gerundive (with esse omitted, forming antevertendum esse). The noun phrase 'omnibus consiliis' is a dative governed by the verb 'anteverto' (to prefer/anticipate). The clause 'ut Narbonem proficisceretur' functions as a substantive clause acting as the subject or explaining what must be prioritized.
