I will here set down two rare and extraordinary events concerning this siege of Alexia; one, that the Gauls having drawn their powers together to encounter Caesar, after they had made a general muster of all their forces, resolved in their council of war to dismiss a good part of this great multitude, that they might not fall into confusion.
Alexiako setio horri buruz bi gertaldi arraro ohartarazi nahi ditut hemen: bata, galiarrek, han Zesarrengana joateko bildurik, beren indar guztien zenbatzea eginik, erabaki zutela beren batzarrean jende oste haren zati on baten moztea, nahasmenean eror zitezen beldurrez.
