Propter eās rēs
Orgetorīx ab Helvētiīs est accūsātus atque ipse, ut Helvētiī putant,
sibi mortem cōnscīvit. Sed Helvētiī post eius mortem cōpiās omnēs ē fīnibus
suīs dūcere cōnstituērunt. Inde oppida omnia, aedificia incensa sunt
atque omne frūmentum, praeterquam quod sēcum portābant. Postea Rauricī et
Tulingī et Latovicī et Boiī, quī trāns Rhēnum incoluerant, impetum contrā
Gallōs facere cōnstituērunt.

For these reasons
Orgetorix was accused by the Helvetii and he himself, as the Helvetii
think, took his own life. But after his death the Helvetii decided to lead all
their forces out of their territory. Then all the towns and buildings were
set on fire, and all the grain, except what they were carrying with them.
Afterwards the Raurici and the Tulingi and the Latovici and the Boii, who had
lived across the Rhine, decided to make an attack against the Gauls.
