[*] 195.3. longe alla ratione atque, in a way quite diffeffent from, etc.; by purely defensive or guerilla war. [*] 195.6. anni tempore: i.e. scarcely yet spring, long before harvest; all supplies must be got from granaries or storehouses （aedificia）, which might easily be destroyed. [*] 195.8. hos omnīs: i.e. hostis. [*] 195.10. incendi: cf. the course of the Helvetians, Bk. i. ch. 5. [*] 195.11. hoc spatio: explained by quo, etc., i.e. the range of the Roman foraging parties.—[a Boia]: omit. [*] 195.13. quorum: the antecedent is eorum. [*] 195.15. neque interesse, and it makes no difference [he says].—ne … an, whether … or. [*] 195.19. sint receptacula, serve as retreats. [*] 195.20. neu, and lest, sc. sint from preceding clause.—proposita, offered to be captured by the Romans. The method of warfare here advised by Vercingetorix and afterwards consistently followed by him stamps him as a general of first-rate ability. We may fitly compare Fabius Maximus harassing and weakening the army of Hannibal, and the burning of Moscow by the Russians to drive out Napoleon.
