[*] 169.22. de uxoribus: this would seem to imply polygamy among the Gauls. Probably it was limited to the chiefs, as among the Germans; see note on 48 6.—in servilem modum, after the manner of slaves, i.e. by torture. [*] 169.23. compertum est: i.e. that there has been foul play. [*] 169.24. excruciates interficiunt: cf. 5 5, 55 3, and notes.—pro cultu, considering the degree of civilization.
