“[Sceledrus] Agedum ergo face. Volo scire, utrum egon id quod vidi viderim an illic faciat, quod facturum dicit, ut ea sit domi. Nam ego quidem meos oculos habeo nec rogo utendos foris. Sed hic illi subparasitatur semper, hic eae proxumust, primus ad cibum vocatur, primo pulmentum datur; nam illic noster est fortasse circiter triennium, neque cuiquam quam illi in nostra meliust famulo familia. Sed ego hoc quod ago, id me agere oportet, hoc observare ostium.”

“In eadem causa fuerunt Usipetes et Tencteri, quos supra diximus; qui complures annos Sueborum vim sustinuerunt, ad extremum tamen agris expulsi et multis locis Germaniae triennium vagati ad Rhenum pervenerunt, quas regiones Menapii incolebant.”
In that same matter there were the Usipetes and the Tencteri, whom we talked already; they aided the Suebi for many years, but in the end they were cast away from the fields and after wandering for three years through many parts of Germany they came to the Rhine, in the regions inhabited by the Menapii.
