The Segui and Condrusi, of the nation and
number of the Germans, and who are between the
Eburones and the Treviri , sent embassadors to Caesar to
entreat that he would not regard them in the number of his enemies, nor consider
that the cause of all the Germans on this side the
Rhine was one and the same; that they had formed no plans of war,
and had sent no auxiliaries to Ambiorix. Caesar, having ascertained this fact by an examination of his
prisoners, commanded that if any of the Eburones in their flight

highly renowned both for his valor and birth, and was the only
Aeduan that had continued in arms till that time.

When Caesar had gone through all the states of
Cisalpine Gaul, he returned with the greatest haste to the army
at Nemetocenna ; and having ordered all his legions to march from
winter quarters to the territories of the Treviri , he went thither and reviewed them. He made Titus
Labienus governor of Cisalpine Gaul, that he might be
the more inclined to support him in his suit for the consulate. He himself made
such journeys as he thought would conduce to the health of his men by change of
air; and though he was frequently told that Labienus
was solicited by his enemies, and was assured that a scheme was in agitation by
the contrivance of a few, that the senate should interpose their authority to
deprive him of a part of his army; yet he neither gave credit to any sto

How much his education amongst them recommended him to their favour and affection, was sufficiently apparent in the mutiny upon the death of Augustus, when the mere sight of him appeased their fury, though it had risen to a great height.
