He therefore sends T. Labienus, his lieutenant, with the
cavalry to the Treviri , who are nearest to the river Rhine . He
charges him to visit the Remi and the other
Belgians, and to keep them in their allegiance and repel the
Germans (who were said to have been summoned by
the Belgae to their aid,) if they attempted to cross the river by
force in their ships. He orders P. Crassus to proceed
into Aquitania with
twelve legionary cohorts and a great number of the cavalry, lest auxiliaries
should be sent into Gaul by these states, and such
great nations be united. He sends Q. Titurius Sabinus
his lieutenant, with three legions, among the Unelli, the
Curiosolitae, and the Lexovii, to take care that
their forces should be kept separate from the rest. He appoints D. Brutus, a young man, over the fleet and those
Gallic vessels which he had ordered to be furnished by the
Pictones and the Santoni, and the other provinces
which remained at peace; and commands him to proceed toward the
Veneti, as soon as he could. He himself hastens thither with
the land forces.
