[1] Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur. Hi omnes lingua, institutis, legibus inter se differunt. Gallos ab Aquitanis Garumna flumen, a Belgis Matrona et Sequana dividit. Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, minimeque ad eos mercatores saepe commeant atque ea quae ad effeminandos animos pertinent important, proximique sunt Germanis, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, quibuscum continenter bellum gerunt. Qua de causa Helvetii quoque reliquos Gallos virtute praecedunt, quod fere cotidianis proeliis cum Germanis contendunt, cum aut suis finibus eos prohibent aut ipsi in eorum finibus bellum gerunt. Eorum una, pars, quam Gallos obtinere dictum est, initium capit a flumine Rhodano, continetur Garumna flumine, Oceano, finibus Belgarum, attingit etiam ab Sequanis et Helvetiis flumen Rhenum, vergit ad septentriones. Belgae ab extremis Galliae finibus oriuntur, pertinent ad inferiorem partem fluminis Rheni, spectant in septentrionem et orientem solem. Aquitania a Garumna flumine ad Pyrenaeos montes et eam partem Oceani quae est ad Hispaniam pertinet; spectat inter occasum solis et septentriones.

All of Gaul is divided into three parts, first of which is the Belgae, next Aqutani, last of which the Celtae, which make Gaul. All the languages, governments, and religions are different. The Aqutania are next to the Garumna river, the Sequana are divded by the Belgis Montrona. Among them the Belgae are the manliest, because they live the farthest from our province, little do they often trade with the merchants the things that feminise the soul, they live the closest to the Germans, across the Rhemun, where they wage battle daily. The helvetii are the manliest among the Gauls, because they fight their border are contending against the Germans, there for they fight battle daily. Their borders are  from Central Gaul, touch the Rohando river, up to the Garumna river, to the central ocean, ending at the Belgarum, across the Rhenum river from the Helvetii is the Sequnia. The Belgae extend from Gaul, to the lower Rheni river. The Aqunia are from the Garumna river to the Pyrenaeos mountains to the ocean and down to Spain.
Among the Helvetii Ogeterix is the most noble and the richest. In the time when M. Messala, and  M. Pisone were consuls he went after more power and wealth to extend his borders: to achieve more manliness amoung all the people, through central Gaul.

All of these tribes differ between each other with regard to language institution and law. The Galahad river  divides the Gaul from the Aquatani and the Matrona and Sequana. All of these people in Belgae were strong, therefore what a civilization but human nature is long absent when conquering, often the merchants visit there but not enough, who comes in and reaches to the weakened soul, their neighbor is Germanis, who dwell across rehenum who maintain and carry on warfare.
