§7.62.1Prima luce et nostri omnes erant transportati, et hostium acies cernebatur.
At dawn, both all of our men had been ferried over, and the enemy's line of battle was in sight.
§7.62.2Labienus milites cohortatus ut suae pristinae virtutis et secundissimorum proeliorum retinerent memoriam atque ipsum Caesarem, cuius ductu saepe numero hostes superassent, praesentem adesse existimarent, dat signum proeli.
Labienus, having encouraged the soldiers to retain the memory of their ancient valor and most successful battles, and to imagine that Caesar himself, under whose leadership they had frequently overcome the enemy, was present in person, gives the signal for battle.
§7.62.3Primo concursu ab dextro cornu, ubi septima legio constiterat, hostes pelluntur atque in fugam coniciuntur; §7.62.4ab sinistro, quem locum duodecima legio tenebat, cum primi ordines hostium transfixi telis concidissent, tamen acerrime reliqui resistebant, nec dabat suspicionem fugae quisquam.
At the first onset, on the right wing, where the seventh legion had taken its stand, the enemy are driven back and put to flight; on the left, which position the twelfth legion held, although the first ranks of the enemy had fallen, transfixed by darts, yet the rest resisted most vigorously, nor did anyone give any suspicion of flight.
§7.62.5Ipse dux hostium Camulogenus suis aderat atque eos cohortabatur.
Camulogenus, the leader of the enemy himself, was present with his men and encouraged them.
§7.62.6Incerto nunc etiam exitu victoriae, cum septimae legionis tribunis esset nuntiatum quae in sinistro cornu gererentur, post tergum hostium legionem ostenderunt signaque intulerunt.
While the outcome of victory was even now uncertain, when it was reported to the tribunes of the seventh legion what was going on on the left wing, they showed their legion behind the enemy's rear and charged.
§7.62.7Ne eo quidem tempore quisquam loco cessit, sed circumventi omnes interfectique sunt.
Not even at that time did anyone yield from his ground, but all were surrounded and slain.
§7.62.8Eandem fortunam tulit Camulogenus.
Camulogenus met the same fate.
At ei qui praesidio contra castra Labieni erant relicti, cum proelium commissum audissent, subsidio suis ierunt collemque ceperunt, neque nostrorum militum victorum impetum sustinere potuerunt.
But those who had been left as a guard opposite the camp of Labienus, when they heard that the battle was joined, went as a reinforcement to their men and took possession of a hill, but could not withstand the onset of our victorious soldiers.
§7.62.9Sic cum suis fugientibus permixti, quos non silvae montesque texerunt, ab equitatu sunt interfecti.
Thus, mixed with their fleeing comrades, those whom the woods and mountains did not shelter were slain by the cavalry.
§7.62.10hoc negotio confecto Labienus revertitur Agedincum, ubi impedimenta totius exercitus relicta erant: inde cum omnibus copiis ad Caesarem pervenit.
This business being completed, Labienus returns to Agedincum, where the baggage of the entire army had been left; thence he reaches Caesar with all his forces.
