Caius Fabius set off with the rest of the army to the
Carnutes and those other states, whose force he was informed,
had served as auxiliaries in that battle, which he fought against
Dumnacus. For he had no doubt that they would be more
submissive after their recent sufferings, but if respite and time were given
them, they might be easily excited by the earnest solicitations of the same
Dumnacus. On this occasion Fabius was
extremely fortunate and expeditious in recovering the states. For the
Carnutes, who, though often harassed had never mentioned peace,
submitted and gave hostages: and the other states, which lie in the remotest
parts of Gaul, adjoining the ocean, and
which are called Armoricae, influenced by the example of the
Carnutes, as soon as Fabius arrived
with his legions, without delay comply with his command. Dumnacus,
expelled from his own territories, wandering and skulking about, was forced to
seek refuge by himself in the most remote parts of Gaul.
