These affairs being announced to Caesar in Italy, at the time when he understood that matters in the city had
been reduced to a more tranquil state by the energy of Cneius
Pompey, he set out for Transalpine Gaul. After he had
arrived there, he was greatly at a loss to know by what means he could reach his
army. For if he should summon the legions into the province, he was aware that
on their march they would have to fight in his absence; he foresaw too that if
he himself should endeavor to reach the army, he would act injudiciously, in
trusting his safety even to those who seemed to be tranquilized.
