§5.53.1Interim ad Labienum per Remos incredibili celeritate de victoria Caesaris fama perfertur, ut, cum ab hibernis Ciceronis milia passuum abesset circiter LX, eoque post horam nonam diei Caesar pervenisset, ante mediam noctem ad portas castrorum clamor oreretur, quo clamore significatio victoriae gratulatioque ab Remis Labieno fieret.
Meanwhile, the news of Caesar's victory was carried to Labienus through the Remi with incredible speed, so that, although he was about sixty miles away from Cicero's winter quarters, and Caesar had arrived there only after the ninth hour of the day, before midnight a shout arose at the gates of the camp, by which shout the announcement of the victory and congratulation were made to Labienus by the Remi.
§5.53.2Hac fama ad Treveros perlata Indutiomarus, qui postero die castra Labieni oppugnare decreverat, noctu profugit copiasque omnes in Treveros reducit.
When this news was carried to the Treveri, Indutiomarus, who had decided to attack the camp of Labienus on the following day, fled by night and led all his forces back into the territory of the Treveri.
§5.53.3Caesar Fabium cum sua legione remittit in hiberna, ipse cum tribus legionibus circum Samarobrivam trinis hibernis hiemare constituit et, quod tanti motus Galliae exstiterant, totam hiemem ipse ad exercitum manere decrevit.
Caesar sent Fabius back to his winter quarters with his legion, and decided to winter himself with three legions around Samarobriva in three separate winter quarters; and, because such great commotions had arisen in Gaul, he resolved to remain himself with the army for the entire winter.
§5.53.4Nam illo incommodo de Sabini morte perlato omnes fere Galliae civitates de bello consultabant, nuntios legationesque in omnes partes dimittebant et quid reliqui consili caperent atque unde initium belli fieret explorabant nocturnaque in locis desertis concilia habebant.
For when that disaster of Sabinus's death was reported, almost all the states of Gaul were consulting about war, sending messengers and embassies in all directions, inquiring what further plan they should adopt and where the beginning of the war should be made, and holding nocturnal councils in deserted places.
§5.53.5Neque ullum fere totius hiemis tempus sine sollicitudine Caesaris intercessit, quin aliquem de consiliis ac motu Gallorum nuntium acciperet.
Nor did almost any period of the whole winter pass without anxiety for Caesar, or without his receiving some news concerning the plans and movements of the Gauls.
§5.53.6In his ab Lucio Roscio, quem legioni tertiae decimae praefecerat, certior factus est magnas Gallorum copias earum civitatum, quae Armoricae appellantur, oppugnandi sui causa convenisse §5.53.7neque longius milia passuum octo ab hibernis suis afuisse, sed nuntio allato de victoria Caesaris discessisse, adeo ut fugae similis discessus videretur.
Among these reports, he was informed by Lucius Roscius, whom he had put in command of the thirteenth legion, that large forces of the Gauls from those states which are called Armorican had assembled for the purpose of attacking him, and had been not further than eight miles from his winter quarters, but, on the news of Caesar's victory being brought, had departed, so much so that their departure seemed like a flight.
