§5.4.1Caesar, etsi intellegebat qua de causa ea dicerentur quaeque eum res ab instituto consilio deterreret, tamen, ne aestatem in Treveris consumere cogeretur omnibus ad Britannicum bellum rebus comparatis, Indutiomarum ad se cum CC obsidibus venire iussit.
Caesar, although he understood for what reason these things were said, and what circumstance deterred him from his intended design, yet, lest he should be compelled to spend the summer among the Treveri, now that all things were prepared for the war with Britain, ordered Indutiomarus to come to him with two hundred hostages.
§5.4.2His adductis, in eis filio propinquisque eius omnibus, quos nominatim evocaverat, consolatus Indutiomarum hortatusque est uti in officio maneret; §5.4.3nihilo tamen setius principibus Treverorum ad se convocatis hos singillatim Cingetorigi conciliavit, quod cum merito eius a se fieri intellegebat, tum magni interesse arbitrabatur eius auctoritatem inter suos quam plurimum valere, cuius tam egregiam in se voluntatem perspexisset.
When these were brought, among whom were his son and all his relatives, whom he had summoned by name, Caesar consoled Indutiomarus and exhorted him to remain in his allegiance; nevertheless, having assembled the leading men of the Treveri to him, he reconciled them individually to Cingetorix, which he did both because he understood that it was being done by him in accordance with the latter's merit, and because he thought it to be of great importance that the authority of one whose remarkable goodwill toward him he had fully perceived should be as powerful as possible among his own people.
§5.4.4Id tulit factum graviter Indutiomarus, suam gratiam inter suos minui, et, qui iam ante inimico in nos animo fuisset, multo gravius hoc dolore exarsit.
Indutiomarus took this act heavily, namely that his influence among his people was being diminished, and, having already before been of a hostile disposition toward us, flared up much more violently with this resentment.
