Evidently, however, there was some general scheme, of which the entry of the Helvetii into Gaul was the essential part; and through the mediation of Dumnorix, an Aeduan and an ardent patriot, the Sequani were induced to agree. The Province had been saved, but the exodus of the enormous multitude could no longer be prevented.
He had petitioned earnestly to be excused from accompanying the expedition, and, Caesar having for this reason probably the more insisted upon it, he had persuaded the other chiefs that Caesar meant to destroy them, and that if they went to Britain they would never return. These whisperings were reported to Caesar. Dumnorix had come to Boulogne with the rest, and he ordered him to be watched.
I can't tell who of your men may hear us." "As you say," said Dumnorix, setting down the light at a little distance and coming closer. "You remember that little affair of last year," said Pratinas, continuing; "how you helped me get rid of a witness in a very troublesome law case?" "Ha! ha!" chuckled the giant, "I wish I had the sesterces I won then, in my coffer now."
He summons Dumnorix to him; he brings in his brother; he points out what he censures in him; he lays before him what he of himself perceives, and what the state complains of; he warns him for the future to avoid all grounds of suspicion; he says that he pardons the past, for the sake of his brother, Divitiacus.

Light after light blazed up in the building; women rushed panic-struck to the doorway to burst forth into the night; and at the open portal Agias saw a gigantic figure with upraised long sword, a Titan, malevolent, destroying, terrible, at the sight whereof the women shrank back, screaming yet the more. "Dumnorix!" shouted Agias; but before he spoke Demetrius had leaped forward.
As they could not of themselves prevail on them, they send ambassadors to Dumnorix the Aeduan, that through his intercession they might obtain their request from the Sequani.
"Freedom and ten sestertia to the one who strikes Drusus down," called Dumnorix, feeling that at last the game was in his hands. About $400. But Mamercus had made of his young patron an apt pupil.
VI. There was together with the others, Dumnorix, the Aeduan, of whom we have made previous mention. Him in particular he had resolved to have with him, because he had discovered him to be fond of change, fond of power, possessing great resolution, and great influence among the Gauls.
After all, the world isn't so bad as we make it out to be, if it is Curio the profligate who says it." "But Drusus, my nephew?" exclaimed Fabia. "He is in frightful danger. You know Dumnorix will have a great band of gladiators, and there is no force in Præneste that can be counted on to restrain him." "My dear lady," said Curio, laughing, "I am praising the happy Genius that brought you here.
