οὐδὲν ὄφελος εἰς τοῦτο γενόμενοι, τοὺς Γαλάτας ἐδῄουν. Ἐπεὶ δὲ ἔτι νέος ἦν, τοῖς ἑπομένοις αὐτῷ στρατηγοῖς τὰ πρακτέα ἐπέτρεψε. Τῶν δὲ ῥαθυμούντων, αὐτὸς ὡς ἐνῆν ὁ Καῖσαρ τοῦ πολέμου προενόει: καὶ τοὺς στρατιώτας προθυμοτέρους περὶ τὴν μάχην κατέστησεν, ἄλλως τε παρακινδυνεύειν προτρέπων, καὶ ῥητὸν μισθὸν τάξας ἑκάστῳ βάρβαρον ἀναιροῦντι. Κεχαρισμένος δὲ τοῖς στρατιώταις ἐντεῦθεν γενόμενος, ἐδήλωσε Κωνσταντίῳ τὴν τῶν στρατηγῶν ῥαστώνην.
