§6.2.3Quibus rebus cognitis Caesar, cum undique bellum parari videret, Nervios, Aduatucos ac Menapios adiunctis Cisrhenanis omnibus Germanis esse in armis, Senones ad imperatum non venire et cum Carnutibus finitimisque civitatibus consilia communicare, a Treveris Germanos crebris legationibus sollicitari, maturius sibi de bello cogitandum putavit.
Caesar, these things being known, when he saw war being prepared on all sides, that the Nervii, Aduatuci, and Menapii, with all the Germans on this side of the Rhine having been joined to them, were in arms, that the Senones did not come at his command and were communicating plans with the Carnutes and the neighboring states, and that the Germans were being solicited by the Treveri with frequent embassies, thought that he must plan for the war earlier than usual.
