163.9. paucis post diebus: § 424. f (259. d); B. 357. 1; G. 403. N. 4; H. 488. 1 (430); H-B. 424. 163.10.

eisimperio: subject tribes, not confederate allies. Tacitus, however (Ger. 38), represents the Suevi as a confederacy; its former subjects may, after Caesar's time, have been admitted to alliance. 163.18.

quaeque: -que connects mittant and cognoscant. 163.22.

silvam: this was the natural frontier and defence (pro nativo muro) of the north German plain towards the south. A range of wooded hills still borders the Saxon duchies on the north. The Cherusci held the valleys of the Weser and Elbe.
