Haec orantibus legatis commemorat Caesar: Eodem tempore superiore anno Bellovacos ceterasque Galliae civitates suscepisse bellum: pertinacissime hos ex omnibus in sententia permansisse neque ad sanitatem reliquorum deditione esse perductos.
Caesar reminded the ambassadors who had made these supplications that the Bellovaci, in conjunction with other states of Gaul, had undertaken a war at the same season the year before and had persevered the most obstinately of all in their purpose, and that they had not been brought to a proper way of thinking by the submission of the rest.
