[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, one is the Belgae, the other is the Aquatani, and the third in their native language are called the Celts, and in ours the Gauls. The differ in language, institutions, and in their religions.The Garumna river diveds the Aquatani, the Belgae, and the Sequani. Of them the Belgae are the strongest, for they live the farthest from any province, and they trade very little with the merchants the things that lessen the manliness of the spirit, they are closest to the Germania, with whom they wage war contently. Among the Gauls the Helvetii are the most in virtue, and the constantly fight against the Germanic people. The rest of Gaul is divided up in to parts by the Rhando river, the Garumna river, and the ocean at the borders of the Belgae, next to them seperated by the Rhone river is the Helvetii and the Sequani. The Belgae's border on the other side of Gaul is along the Rhine river, which is so slow that you can not see the flow of the river. The Aquatani by the Garumna river and along the other part is the ocean, and along its borders is Hispania.
