Meanwhile, Labienus fought a successful cavalry engagement in the territory of the Treveri, and after many of the Treveri and the Germans—who refused aid to no one against the Romans—were slain, he brought their leaders alive into his power, and among these Surus the Aeduan, who possessed the highest distinction both for his valor and his birth, and was the only one of the Aedui who had remained in arms up to that time.
