[*] 174.12. Caesar, etc. This chapter directly follows ch. 10 in the narrative, the intervening passage being a digression. [*] 174.14. supra: see 170 26. [*] 174.16. ne … tolleret: as would be done by completely destroying the bridge.—barbaris: dat. （§ 381 (229); B. 188. 2. d; G. 345. R. 1; H. 427 (385. ii. 2); H-B. 371）.—atque, and at the same time.—ut tardaret: which he did by making the bridge practically useless. [*] 174.17. auxilia: i.e. which the Germans might send to aid the Gauls. [*] 174.19. in extremo ponte. There seems to have been an island in the river at this place, so that the bridge was in two sections. The section between the island and the east bank was destroyed, and at what was now the end of the bridge （extremo）, on the island, the tower was built. There was probably a redoubt, as usual, at the entrance to the bridge on the mainland; see Fig. 59. [*] 174.20. cohortium: these were auxiliaries, as it appears in ch. 33 that he took all his legions with him. [*] 174.23. cum maturescere, etc.: i.e. early in August. [*] 174.24. Arduennam: the modern Ardennes （Shakespeare's Forest of Arden）. [*] 174.27. D: an obvious mistake, possibly of some copyist. The distance is about 150 miles.—Basilum: afterwards one of the conspirators against Caesar. [*] 174.28. si … posses, （to see） whether he can, etc. （see § 576. a (334. f); B. 300. 3; G. 460. (b); H. 649. 3 (529. ii. 1. N. 1); H-B. 582. 2. and a）. [*] 175.1. qua: why not quae? [*] 175.2. subsequi: notice the pres.for the fut.
