Itaque Caesar hīs
rēbus mōtus ab urbe in Galliam ulteriōrem profectus est atque ad
Genāvam pervēnit; numerus magnus mīlitum convocātur atque pons, quī erat
ad Genāvam, dēlētur. Helvētiī enim iter per prōvinciam nostram facere
cupiēbant, quod nullum aliud iter habēbant. Sed dē Caesaris adventū certiōrēs
factī lēgātōs ad eum mittunt: cuius lēgātiōnis Nammeius et Verucloetius
erant prīncipēs. Nec tamen respōnsum lēgātīs ā Caesare statim est datum.
Mīlitēs enim, quī ē prōvinciā arcessītī erant, nōndum convēnerant.

And so Caesar, having been moved by these matters, set out from the city into Further Gaul and arrived at Geneva; a great number of soldiers is summoned, and the bridge, which was at Geneva, is destroyed. For the Helvetii were wishing to make a route through our province, because they had no other route. But, having been informed about Caesar’s arrival, they send envoys to him, and Nammeius and Verucloetius were the leaders of . And yet a reply was not given at once by Caesar to the envoys. For the soldiers, who had been summoned from the province, had not yet assembled.
