L. Aurunculeius, and several tribunes of the soldiers and the centurions of the first rank, were of opinion that nothing should be done hastily, and that they should not depart from the camp without Caesar's orders; they declared, that any forces of the Germans, however great, might be encountered by fortified winter-quarters; that this fact was a proof [of it]; that they had sustained the first assault of the Germans most valiantly, inflicting many wounds upon them; that they were not distressed for corn; that in the mean time relief would come both from the nearest winter-quarters and from Caesar; lastly, they put the query, what could be more undetermined, more undignified, than to adopt measures respecting the most important affairs on the authority of an enemy?
