Deinde reliqure legiones cum tribunis militum et primorum ordinum centurionibus egerunt, uti Caesari satisfacerent: se nec unquam dubitasse neque timuisse neque de summa belli suum judi- cium, sed imperatoris esse existimavisse. Eorum satisfactione accepta, et itinere exquisite per Divitiacum, quod ex aliis ei maximam fidem ha- ' bebat, ut millium amplius quinquaginta circuitu
locis apertis exercitum duceret, de quarta vigilia, ut dixerat, profectus est. Septimo die, cum iter non intermitteret, ab exploratoribus certior factus est Ariovisti copias a nostris millibus passuum quattuor et viginti abesse.

. These two nations no sooner heard of the departure of the Romans, than they considered the whole island as their own. One party crossed the Forth, in boats made of leather, while another . attacked with fury the wall which the Eritons had repaired for their defence, but which they abandoned on the first assault, flying like timorous deer, and leaving their country an entire prey to the enemy. The Scots and Picts made a dreadful havoc of the fugitives; and, meeting with no opposition, they laid all tho, south part of the island waste with fire and sword.. Famine fol- lowed, with all its horrid train. The miserable Britons; in this frightful extremity, had once more recourse to Rome.
