Ἐπεὶ δὲ ταῦτα διεπονήθη τῷ Καίσαρι, κατὰ σχολὴν στρατιωτῶν συναγείρας πλῆθος ἐπὶ τὸν κατὰ τοῦ Γερμανικοῦ παντὸς παρεσκευάζετο πόλεμον. ἀντιπαραταξαμένων δὲ τῶν βαρβάρων πλήθει παμπόλλῳ, τὴν τούτων ἔφοδον οὐκ ἀναμείνας ὁ Καῖσαρ αὐτὸς ἐπεραιοῦτο τὸν Ῥῆνον, ἄμεινον κρίνας οὐκ ἐν τῇ τῶν Ῥωμαίων ἀλλ̓ ἐν τῇ τῶν βαρβάρων γῇ πολεμητέα εἶναι, τούτῳ τε μὴ τὰς πόλεις βαρύνεσθαι καὶ αὖθις τῇ τῶν βαρβάρων ἐπιστασίᾳ.
