“tālī modō vastātīs regiōnibus exercitum Caesar duārum cohortium damnō Dūrocortorum Remōrum redūcit conciliōque in eum locum Galliae indictō dē conjūrātiōne Sēnōnum et Carnūtum quaetiōnem habēre īnstituit et dē Accōne, quī prīnceps ejus cōnsilī fuerat, graviōre sententiā prōnūntiātā mōre majōrum supplicium sūmpsit.”
After the regions had been devastated thus, Caesar, with the loss of two cohorts, lead the back to Reims, and, an assembly of Gaul having been summoned to that place, resolved to hold an inquiry concerning the conspiracy of the Senones and Carnutes, and concerning Acco, who had been the chief instigator of that plan; a more severe sentence having been pronounced, he inflicted punishment upon him according to the custom of the ancestors.
“Nec tamen haec nūlla sine caede incoepta suōrum Ēvēnēre piīs. Nam dum super aggere turrēs Castrōrum hinc atque hinc properant absūmere flamma Injectae et longē dant clāra incendia lūcem, Ēminus immissīs ūnā periēre sagittīs, Quārum aciēs fuerat lētālī īnfecta venēnō, Iccius, Agravius, Contus, Celtillus et Aegeus, Cumque Accōne Clephis, prōlēsque Indonis Alauda: Indonis, quī quondam inter rēgnāvit Ibērōs Praedīves, sed enim rēbus mox exul inīquīs Fūgit inops procul ad fīnēs et tecta Vocātum Tarbellōsque Auscōsque, Bigerronēsque, coāctus Externō patrium Sicorim mūtāre Garumna. Yet not without the slaughter of their own men did these things, begun with pious intent, befall. For while the towers upon the rampart of the camp on this side and that were hastening to be consumed by flames cast upon them, and the blaze from afar gave forth clear light, At once they perished by arrows launched from a distance, whose points had been covered in deadly poison — Iccius, Agravius, Contus, Celtillus, and Aegeus, and with Acco, Clephis, and Indo's offspring, Alauda: Indo, who once reigned amongst the Iberians, rich in wealth, but soon, by adverse fortune, an exile, fled in poverty far to the lands and dwellings of the Vocates,”
to change his native Sicoris for the foreign Garumna.
