Drappes and Lucterius, abandoning their plan to invade the Roman Province due to the pursuing army, retreat to the territory of the Cadurci and occupy the naturally fortified town of Uxellodunum, winning over the inhabitants.
At Drappes unaque Lucterius, cum legiones Caniniumque adesse cognoscerent nec se sine certa pernicie persequente exercitu1 putarent provinciae fines intrare posse nec iam libere vagandi latrociniorumque faciendorum2 facultatem haberent, in finibus consistunt Cadurcorum.
But Drappes and Lucterius together, when they learned that the legions and Caninius were at hand, and did not think that they could enter the boundaries of the Province without certain ruin while the army was pursuing them, and no longer had the opportunity of wandering freely and committing robberies, halted in the territory of the Cadurci.
Ibi cum Lucterius apud suos cives quondam integris rebus3 multum potuisset, semperque auctor novorum consiliorum magnam apud barbaros auctoritatem haberet, oppidum Vxellodunum, quod in clientela fuerat eius, egregie natura loci munitum, occupat suis et Drappetis copiis oppidanosque sibi coniungit.
There, since Lucterius had formerly possessed great influence among his fellow citizens when affairs were intact, and always had great authority among the barbarians as a promoter of new designs, he occupied with his own and Drappes’ forces the town of Uxellodunum, which had been in his clientela and was excellently fortified by the nature of the ground, and joined the townsmen to himself.
