Nervii had stationed themselves on the other side of that
river, and together with the Atrebates and the

to try the same fortune of war [as themselves]: that the forces of the
Aduatuci were also expected by them, and were on their march;

enemy kept themselves in concealment; a few troops of horse-soldiers appeared on
the open ground, along the river. The depth of the river was about three feet.

Having divided the army, he orders T. Labienus to
proceed with three legions toward the ocean into those parts which border on the
Menapii; he sends C. Trebonius with a
like number of legions to lay waste that district which lies contiguous to the
Aduatuci; he himself determines to go with the remaining three
to the river Sambre , which flows into the Meuse , and to the most remote parts of Arduenna,
whither he heard that Ambiorix had gone with a few horse. When
departing, he promises that he will return before the end of the seventh day, on
