[1] A Surprise Attack by the British
Posterō diē hostēs, quī procul ā castrīs erant in collibus,
nostrōs equitēs proeliō lacessere incipiēbant. Tempore merīdiānō, ubi Caesar
trēs legiōnēs et omnēs equitēs cum Gāiō Trebōniō, lēgātō, frūmentī causā
mīserat, illī subitō in pābulātōrēs impetum fēcērunt. Sed nostrī ācriter
resistēbant atque magnum numerum illōrum necāvērunt et cēterōs fugāvērunt. Hāc
ex fugā auxilia, quae omnibus ex partibus convēnerant ad hostēs, discessērunt
nec post illud tempus hostēs cum omnibus cōpiīs contrā nostrōs contendērunt.
[2] the Submission of the Trinobantes
Inde Trinobantēs, prope firmissima illārum regiōnum cīvitās,
lēgātōs ad Caesarem dē pāce mīsērunt atque sē Caesarī dedērunt. Ex hāc cīvitāte
Mandubracius, fīlius rēgis, ad Caesarem in Galliam vēnerat. Caesar multōs
obsidēs et frūmentum imperat atque Mandubracium ad illōs mittit. Illī imperāta
faciunt atque obsidēs ad numerum et frūmentum mittunt. Inde gentēs multae
lēgātōs dē pāce mittunt atque sē Caesarī dant.
