Pugnabaturque in angustiis ambigue donec Germani transnatantes terga Labeonis invasere; simul Civilis, ausus an ex composito, intulit se agmini Tungrorum, et clara voce non ideo inquit bellum sumpsimus, ut Batavi et Treviri gentibus imperent: procul haec a nobis adrogantia.
The forces engaged in this narrow space without a decisive issue until the Germans swam across the river and attacked Labeos rear; at the same time Civilis, acting under a bold impulse or in accord with a previous arrangement, rushed to the line of the Tungri and cried in a loud voice: We did not begin the war with the purpose of making the Batavians and the Treviri lords over the other peoples: such arrogance is far from our minds.
