Posterō diē hostēs
castra ex eō locō movent. Caesar dē consiliīs hostium cognoscere voluit. Itaque
equitātus, quī coactus erat ex omnī prōvinciā et Aeduīs atque eōrum
sociīs, praemittitur. Equitēs Rōmānī cum equitātū Helvētiōrum proelium
committunt; et paucī dē nostrīs interficiuntur. Caesar, quī impetum
contrā hostēs omnibus cum cōpiīs eō tempore facere nōlēbat, suōs ā proeliō
continēbat.

On the following day the enemy move their camp from that place. Caesar wished to learn about the plans of the enemy. Therefore the cavalry, which had been gathered from the whole province and from the Aedui and their allies, is sent ahead. The Roman horsemen engage in battle with the cavalry of the Helvetii; and a few of our men are killed. Caesar, who did not wish at that time to make an attack against the enemy with all his forces, kept his men back from the battle.
