226.20. confirmabant, kept asserting. 226.21.

qui refers to Bellovaci.—per se: i.e. without this example of the Haedui. 226.24.

neque: connects intellegebat and cogitabat. The latter verb is here followed by two clauses of purpose, The infin. would be more usual. 227.1.

altera, alteram: the Bellovaci were on the north of the Seine; Camulogenus (ch. 57) was on the south.—quae civitas: the defection of this tribe might well cause Labienus uneasiness. They were a nation of warriors and could put 100,000 men in the field. When the tribes of Belgic Gaul conspired against Caesar, the Bellovaci, because of their importance, were placed at the head of the league; see 51 11-15. 227.4.

praesidio: at Agedincum (Sens) on the other side of the Seine; see 224 23-26. 227.6.

ab animi virtute: a truly Roman quality, of which, fortunately, Labienus had a good supply.
