itemque [Orgetorix] Dumnorigi Haeduo, fratri Diviciaci, qui eo tempore principatum in civitate obtinebat ac maxime plebi acceptus erat, ut idem conaretur persuadet eique filiam suam in matrimonium dat. Perfacile factu esse illis probat conata perficere, propterea quod ipse suae civitatis imperium               3
obtenturus esset: non esse dubium quin totius Galliae plurimum Helvetii possent; se suis copiis suoque exercitu illis regna conciliaturum confirmat.  Hac oratione adducti inter se fidem et ius iurandum dant   5
et regno occupato per tres potentissimos ac firmissimos populos totius Galliae sese potiri posse sperant.  Ea res est Helvetiis per indicium enuntiata.  Moribus suis Orgetoricem ex vinculis causam     7
dicere coegerunt; damnatum poenam sequi oportebat, ut igni cremaretur.
