217.8. dorsum, etc.: the hill (collis) was southwest of the town and northwest of Caesar's smaller camp (see plan); while from it a narrow wooded ridge (dorsum), nearly level, gave easy access to the town at its western side. Most of the Gallic force had been transferred to that side from the eastern and southern defences. This left the Gallic camps and the part of the city opposite the Romans bare of defenders. 217.11.

unooccupato: see 211 11-21. 217.12.

quinviderentur: after aliter sentire (= dubitare); cf. 213 3. 217.13.

hunc: i.e. alterum collem.
