§8.20.1Tali modo re gesta recentibus proeli vestigiis ingressus Caesar, cum victos tanta calamitate existimaret hostes nuntio accepto locum castrorum relicturos, quae non longius ab ea caede abesse plus minus octo milibus dicebantur, tametsi flumine impeditum transitum videbat, tamen exercitu traducto progreditur.
The affair having been conducted in this manner, Caesar, having entered upon the fresh tracks of the battle, since he thought that the enemy, defeated by so great a disaster, would abandon the site of their camp upon receiving the news (which was said to be not more than about eight miles distant from that slaughter), although he saw the crossing obstructed by the river, nevertheless, having led his army across, advanced.
§8.20.2At Bellovaci reliquaeque civitates repente ex fuga paucis atque his vulneratis receptis, qui silvarum beneficio casum evitaverant, omnibus adversis, cognita calamitate, interfecto Correo, amisso equitatu et fortissimis peditibus, cum adventare Romanos existimarent, concilio repente cantu tubarum convocato conclamant, legati obsidesque ad Caesarem mittantur.
But the Bellovaci and the remaining states, having suddenly received from the flight only a few, and these wounded, who by the favor of the woods had avoided the disaster, when all things were adverse, the calamity known, Correus slain, and their cavalry and bravest infantry lost, since they thought that the Romans were approaching, having suddenly called a council by the sound of trumpets, cried out together that ambassadors and hostages should be sent to Caesar.
