34. de transitu in Italiam Gallorum haec accepimus: Prisco Tarquinio Romae regnante, Celtarum quae pars Galliae tertia est penes Bituriges summa imperii fuit; ii regem Celtico dabant. [2] Ambigatus is fuit, uirtute fortunaque cum sua, tum publica praepollens, quod in imperio eius Gallia adeo frugum hominumque fertilis fuit ut abundans multitudo uix regi uideretur posse. [3] hic magno natu ipse iam exonerare praegrauante turba regnum cupiens, Bellonesum ac Segouesum sororis filios impigros iuuenes missurum se esse in quas di dedissent auguriis sedes ostendit; [4] quantum ipsi uellent numerum hominum excirent ne qua gens arcere aduenientes posset. tum Segoueso sortibus dati Hercynei saltus; Belloueso haud paulo laetiorem in Italiam uiam di dabant. [5] is quod eius ex populis abundabat, Bituriges, Aruernos, Senones, Haeduos, Ambarros, Carnutes, Aulercos exciuit. profectus ingentibus peditum equitumque copiis in Tricastinos uenit. [6] [p. 5053]Alpes inde oppositae erant; quas inexsuperabiles uisas haud equidem miror, nulladum uia, quod quidem continens memoria sit, nisi de Hercule fabulis credere libet, superatas. [7] ibi cum uelut saeptos montium altitudo teneret Gallos, circumspectarentque quanam per iuncta caelo iuga in alium orbem terrarum transirent, religio etiam tenuit quod allatum est aduenas quaerentes agrum ab Saluum gente oppugnari. [8] Massilienses erant ii, nauibus a Phocaea profecti. id Galli fortunae suae omen rati, adiuuere ut quem primum in terram egressi occupauerant locum patientibus Saluis communirent. ipsi per Taurinos saltus <saltum>que Duriae Alpes transcenderunt; [9] fusisque acie Tuscis haud procul Ticino flumine, cum in quo consederant agrum Insubrium appellari audissent cognominem Insubribus pago Haeduorum, ibi omen sequentes loci condidere urbem; Mediolanium appellarunt.
