[*] 158.22. nondum, etc.: notice that it is the promptness and dash of Caesar's operations that win the victory in almost every case. [*] 158.23. Nerviorum: see note on 68 18. [*] 158.24. possent: for mood, see § 551. b (327); B. 292; G. 577; H. 605. 2 (520. i. 2); H-B. 507. 4. b; cf. 38 27 and note. Here, as with cum, there is an inner connection between the two clauses. It is not merely before they were in a position to gather, but before they could get a chance to gather. [*] 158.25. praedā, as booty; eā （referring to magno … numero） agrees by attraction with the appositive （§ 296. a (195. d); B. 250. 3; G. 211. R. 5; H. 396. 2 (445. 4); H-B. 326. 1）. [*] 158.27. coegit: sc. eos. [*] 159.2. ut … videretur: i.e. to show that he was determined to put down the rising at once. [*] 159.3. Lutetiam: the first mention in history of Paris, which was a place of no great importance until its occupation as a royal town by the Franks in A.D. 502. The original place of meeting had perhaps been Samarobriva （Amiens）. Caesar apparently considered Lutetia a point nearer the scene of operations, and proceeded at once to the affected district. [*] 159.4. civitatem … coniunxerant: i.e. with the Senones. This was a close political union, not a mere military league （foedus）. [*] 159.5. hoc consilio: the new confederacy （cf. Bk. vii. ch. 75）.—hac re: the removal to Lutetia.—pro suggestu, in front of the platform; i.e. by public announcement, not special notification to the commanders. See chapter on military affairs, V.
