In the mean time Lucterius the Cadurcan, having been
sent into the country of the Ruteni, gains over that state to the
Arverni. Having advanced into the country of the
Nitiobriges, and Gabali, he receives hostages from
both nations, and, assembling a numerous force, marches to make a descent on the
province in the direction of Narbo . Caesar, when this circumstance was
announced to him, thought that the march to Narbo ought to take the precedence of all his other plans. When he
arrived there, he encourages the timid and stations garrisons among the
Ruteni, in the province of the Volcae Arecomici,
and the country around Narbo which was in the vicinity of the enemy; he orders a portion
of the forces from the province, and the recruits which he had brought from
Italy, to rendezvous
among the Helvii who border on the territories of the
Arverni.
