Gallia omnis est
dīvīsa in partēs trēs, quārum ūna incolitur ā Belgīs, alia ab
Aquītānīs, tertia ab eīs quī ā nōbīs Gallī appellantur. Gallī ab
Aquītānīs Garumnā flūmine, ā Belgīs Matronā et Sēquanā dīviduntur. Hōrum
omnium fortissimī sunt Belgae, quod proximī sunt Germānīs, quī trāns Rhēnum
incolunt, quibuscum bellum semper geritur.
____________________
All Gaul has
been divided (or: is divided*) into three parts, one of which is
inhabited by the Belgae, another by the Aquitani, and the third by those
who are called Gauls by us. The Gauls are separated from the
Aquitani by the river Garonne, and from the Belgae by the Marne and the Seine.
Of all these, the Belgae are the bravest, because they are nearest to the
Germans, who live across the Rhine, and with whom war is continually
waged.
