The former is the reading of the greater part of the MSS. and the later German editions. Auctionem tributorum refers to the increased tribute exacted by Vesp. cf. Sueton. Vesp. 16: auxisse tributa provinciis, nonnullis et duplicasse. Munerum. Duties, burdens. Circumcisis. Cf. note, 2: expulsis. etc., and 11: amissa virtute. Namque cogebantur.
So in His. 4, 17. the Batavians are called tributorum expertes. Oneribus. The burdens of regular taxation. Collationibus. Extraordinary contributions. Tela, offensive; arma, defensive armor. In sua ripa. On the right or eastern bank of the Rhine. Agunt is to be taken with in sua ripa, as well as with nobiscum, which are antithetic to each other. Meaning: in situation Germans, in feeling Romans.
