Caesar postquam equitatu ante praemisso inscius insidiarum cum ad eum locum venisset, abusi sive obliti praeceptorum Labieni sive veriti ne in fossa ab equitibus opprimerentur rari ac singuli de rupe prodire et summa petere collis.
When Caesar, in ignorance of the ambush, but with a screen of cavalry thrown out in front, came up to this position, the troops of Labienus either misinterpreted or forgot his instructions, or maybe they were afraid of being caught in the trap by Caesars cavalry; anyway, they came out from behind the rocks in small groups or singly, and made for the crest of the hill.
