Sed barbarī cōnsilium Rōmānōrum cognōscunt. Essedariōs et reliquās cōpiās praemittunt. Ex āridō tēla mittunt. Nōnnūllī equōs incitant et in aquam prōcēdunt. Arma nostrōs opprimunt; membra barbarōrum expedīta sunt. Nostrī nāvēs onerāriās, nisi in altō, cōnstituere nōn possunt. Itaque Caesar nāvēs longās contrā barbarōs mittit. Fundīs, sagittīs, tormentīs barbarōs prōpellunt. Sed mīlitēs nostrī ex nāvibus nōn dēsiliunt. Novum proelium eōs terret.
