After having established this suspicion of his cowardice, he selected a certain
suitable and crafty Gaul, who was one of those whom
he had with him as auxiliaries. He induces him by great gifts and promises to go
over to the enemy; and informs [him] of what he wished to be done. Who, when he
arrives among them as a deserter, lays before them the fears of the Romans; and informs them by what difficulties Caesar himself was harassed, and that the matter was not
far removed from this- that Sabinus would the next
night privately draw off his army out of the camp and set forth to Caesar for the purpose of carrying [him] assistance,
which, when they heard, they a11 cry out together that an opportunity of
successfully conducting their enterprise, ought not to be thrown away: that they
ought to go to

About the same time Caesar, although the summer was
nearly past, yet, since, all Gaul being reduced, the
Morini and the Menapii alone remained in arms, and
had never sent embassadors to him [to make a treaty] of peace, speedily led his
army thither, thinking that that war might soon be terminated. They resolved to
conduct the war on a very different method from the rest of the Gauls; for as they perceived that the greatest nations
[of Gaul] who had engaged in war, had been routed and overcome, and
as they possessed continuous ranges of forests and morasses, they removed
themselves and all their property thither. When Caesar
had arrived at the opening of these forests, and had began to fortify his camp,
and no enemy was in the mean time seen, while our men were disperse

To these remarks Caesar replied in such terms as he
thought proper; but the conclusion of his speech was, "That he could make no
alliance with them, if they continued in Gaul; that it was not probable
that they who were not able to defend their own territories, should get
possession of those of others, nor were there any lands lying waste in Gaul, which could be given away, especially to so great a nr were there any lands lying waste in Gaul, which could be given away, especially to so great a number of
men, without doing wrong [to others]; but they might, if they were desirous,
settle in the territories of the Ubii; whose embassadors were then
with him, and were complaining of the aggressions of the Suevi, and
requesting assistance from him; and that he would obtain this request from
them."

During the short part of summer which remained, Caesar,
although in these countries, as all Gaul lies toward the north, the
winters are early, nevertheless resolved to proceed into Britain, because he discovered that in almost all the wars with the
Gauls succors had been furnished to our enemy
from that country; and even if the time of year should be insufficient for
carrying the most part unknown to the Gauls. For neither does
any one except merchants generally go thither, nor even to them was any portion
of it known, except the sea-coast and those parts which are opposite to Gaul. Therefore, after having called up to him the merchants from
all parts, he could learn neither what was the size of the island, nor what or
how numerous were the nations which inhabited it, nor what system o
