[*] 100.25. neque iam, no longer: knowing how little his own cavalry （of Gauls） were to be trusted, and that the arrival of the main body of the Germans would put them at once to flight, Caesar resolved to attack at the first opportunity, right or wrong.

[*] 101.8. res, in app. with quod … venerunt.
