After having established this suspicion of his cowardice, he selected a certain
suitable and crafty Gaul, who was one of those whom
he had with him as auxiliaries. He induces him by great gifts and promises to go
over to the enemy; and informs [him] of what he wished to be done. Who, when he
arrives among them as a deserter, lays before them the fears of the Romans; and informs them by what difficulties Caesar himself was harassed, and that the matter was not
far removed from this- that Sabinus would the next
night privately draw off his army out of the camp and set forth to Caesar for the purpose of carrying [him] assistance,
which, when they heard, they a11 cry out together that an opportunity of
successfully conducting their enterprise, ought not to be thrown away: that they

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

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

These things being finished, and the assizes being concluded, he returns into
Hither Gaul, and proceeds thence to the army. When he had arrived there,
having made a survey of the winter quarter, he finds that, by the extraordinary
ardor of the soldiers, amid the utmost scarcity of all materials, about six
hundred ships of that kind which we have described above and twenty-eight ships
of war, had been built, and were not far from that state, that they might be
launched in a few days. Having commended the soldiers and those who had presided
over the work, he informs them what he wishes to be done, and orders all the
ships to assemble at port Itius, from which port he had learned
that the passage into Britain was
shortest, [being only] about thirty miles from the continent. H

During the short part of summer which remained, Caesar,
although in these countries, as all Gaul lies toward the north, the
winters are early, nevertheless resolved to proceed into Britain, because he discovered that in almost all the wars with the
Gauls succors had been furnished to our enemy
from that country; and even if the time of year should be insufficient for
carrying the most part unknown to the Gauls. For neither does
any one except merchants generally go thither, nor even to them was any portion
of it known, except the sea-coast and those parts which are opposite to Gaul. Therefore, after having called up to him the merchants from
all parts, he could learn neither what was the size of the island, nor what or
how numerous were the nations which inhabited it, nor what system o

In the mean time, the Trinobantes, almost the most powerful state of
those parts, from which the young man, Mandubratius embracing the
protection of Caesar had come to the continent of Gaul to [meet] him (whose father, Imanuentius, had
possessed the sovereignty in that state, and had been killed by
Cassivellaunus; he himself had escaped death by flight), send
embassadors to Caesar, and promise that they will
surrender themselves to him and perform his commands; they entreat him to
protect Mandubratius from the violence of
Cassivellaunus, and send to their state some one to preside
over it, and possess the government. Caesar demands
forty hostages from them, and corn for his army, and sends
Mandubratius to them. They speedily performed the th
