Sed Caesar, dum adiguntur naves, Silium legatum cum expedita manu inruptionem in Chattos facere iubet: [...] neque Silio ob subitos imbris aliud actum quam ut modicam praedam et Arpi principis Chattorum coniugem filiamque raperet,
Translation :
Caesar, however, while the vessels were coming up, ordered Silius, his lieutenant-general, to make an inroad on the Chatti with a flying column. [...] Silius owing to sudden rains did nothing but carry off a small booty, and the wife and daughter of Arpus, the chief of the Chatti.
