[41] Hac oratione habita mirum in modum conversae sunt omnium mentes summaque alacritas et cupiditas belli gerendi innata est, princepsque X. legio per tribunos militum ei gratias egit quod de se optimum iudicium fecisset, seque esse ad bellum gerendum paratissimam confirmavit. [41] When this speech was delivered, the minds of all were wonderfully converted, and the greatest zeal and desire to wage war was born, and the commander of the tenth legion, through the tribunes of the soldiers, thanked him for having made the best judgment of himself, and confirmed that he was most ready to wage war. Deinde reliquae legiones cum tribunis militum et primorum ordinum centurionibus egerunt uti Caesari satis facerent: se neque umquam dubitasse neque timuisse neque de summa belli suum iudicium sed imperatoris esse existimavisse. Then the rest of the legions, together with the tribunes of the soldiers and the centurions of the first ranks, behaved in such a way as to please Caesar: that they had never doubted, nor feared, nor considered that their decision was that of the emperor, but that of the end of the war. Eorum satisfactione accepta et itinere exquisito per Diviciacum, quod ex Gallis ei maximam fidem habebat, ut milium 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 milia passuum IIII et XX abesse.
