In the same condition were the Usipetes and the
Tenchtheri (whom we have mentioned above), who, for many years,
resisted the power of the Suevi, but being at last driven from
their possessions, and having wandered through many parts of Germany , came to the
Rhine , to districts which the Menapii inhabited, and
where they had lands, houses, and villages on either side of the river. The
latter people, alarmed by the arrival of so great a multitude, removed from
those houses which they had on the other side of the river, and having placed
guards on this side the Rhine , proceeded to hinder
the Germans from crossing. They, finding themselves,

And there was formerly a time when the Gauls excelled
the Germans in prowess, and waged war on them
offensively, and, on account of the great number of their people and the
insufficiency of their land, sent colonies over the Rhine .
Accordingly, the Volcae Tectosages, seized on those parts of Germany which are the
most fruitful [and lie] around the Hercynian forest, (which, I
perceive, was known by report to Eratosthenes and some other
Greeks, and which they call Orcynia), and settled

After he had sent either his legions or auxiliaries through every part of
Ambiorix's dominions, and wasted the whole country by sword,
fire, and rapine, and had killed or taken prodigious numbers, he sent Labienus with two legions against the Treviri , whose state, from its vicinity to Germany ,
