[41] Hac oratione habita mirum in modum conversae sunt omnium mentes summaque alacritas et cupiditas belli gerendi innata est, princepsque X. legio per tribunos militum ei gratias egit quod de se optimum iudicium fecisset, seque esse ad bellum gerendum paratissimam confirmavit.

[41] When this speech was delivered, the minds of all were wonderfully converted, and the greatest zeal and desire to wage war was born, and the commander of the tenth legion, through the tribunes of the soldiers, thanked him for having made the best judgment of himself, and confirmed that he was most ready to wage war.
Deinde reliquae legiones cum tribunis militum et primorum ordinum centurionibus egerunt uti Caesari satis facerent: se neque umquam dubitasse neque timuisse neque de summa belli suum iudicium sed imperatoris esse existimavisse.

Then the remaining legions discussed with the military tribunes and centurions of the first ranks so that they might satisfy Caesar: they believed that they had never hesitated nor feared, and that their judgment regarding the totality of the war was to be regarded as that of the commander.
Eorum satisfactione accepta et itinere exquisito per Diviciacum, quod ex Gallis ei maximam fidem habebat, ut milium amplius quinquaginta circuitu locis apertis exercitum duceret, de quarta vigilia, ut dixerat, profectus est.

With their satisfaction received and after a thorough journey through Diviciacus, who had the greatest trust among the Gauls for him, he led the army through open places, covering a circuit of more than fifty miles, having set out from the fourth watch, as he had said.
