2.
Alarmed by these tidings and letters, Caesar levied two
new legions in Hither Gaul, and, at the beginning of
summer, sent Q. Pedius, his lieutenant, to conduct them
further into Gaul. He, himself, as soon as
there began to be plenty of forage, came to the army. He gives a commission to
the
Senones
and the other Gauls who were neighbors of the
Belgae, to learn what is going on among them [i.e. the
Belgae], and inform him of these matters. These all uniformly
reported that troops were being raised, and that an army was being collected in
one place. Then, indeed, he thought that he ought not to hesitate about
proceeding toward them, and having provided supplies, moves his camp, and in
about fifteen days arrives at the territories of the Belgae.
