There is the Saone river, which flows through through the territories of the Audei and Sequani into the Rhone with such slowness, that it can not be seen by the eye as to the direction it flows. The Helvetii crossed this with rafts and boats that are joined. When it was informed to Caesar by spies that the Helvetii already had three parts of their forces across the river, but the other was left on the Saone, he set out with three legions during the watch, and came up to the division that had not yet crossed the river. Attacking them encumbered with baggage, an not expecting him, he cut a great part of them to pieces, the rest took themselves to flight, and concealed themselves in the woods
