Caesar, observing that the enemy kept for several days
within their camp, which was well secured by a morass and its natural situation,
and that it could not be assaulted without a dangerous engagement, nor the place
inclosed with lines without an addition to his army, wrote to Trebonius to send with all dispatch for the thirteenth legion which
was in winter quarters among the Bituriges under Titus
Sextius, one of his lieutenants; and then to come to him by forced
marches with the three legions. He himself sent the cavalry of the Remi, and Lingones , and other states, from whom he had required a vast
number, to guard his foraging parties, and to support them in case of any sudden
attack of the enemy.
