178.6.

ut potius, etc.: we may translate so that some opportunities for doing injury were neglected, though the clause is properly one of purpose. Connect potius with quam. The thought is that Caesar's plan was to save the lives of his soldiers, even at the expense of neglecting to punish the enemy, and to employ others to carry out his vengeance.
