Hīs rēbus Helvētiī adductī sunt et auctōritāte Orgetorīgīs movēbantur; cōnstituērunt igitur omnēs equitēs et peditēs colligere, magnam cōpiam frūmentī comparāre, pācem et amīcitiam cum proximīs cīvitātibus cōnfirmāre. Inde ad eās cīvitātēs Orgetorīx lēgātus est missus. In eō itinere persuādet Casticō, cuius pater ā senātū populī Rōmānī amīcus appellātus erat; atque Dumnorigī, frātrī Divitiacī, quī eō tempore tenēbat principātum in cīvitāte, persuādet.

The Helvetii were prompted by these events and were influenced by the authority of Orgetorix; they therefore decided to gather all the cavalry and infantry, to collect a large supply of grain, and to secure peace and friendship with the neighbouring states. From there Orgetorix was sent as an envoy to those states. On that journey he persuades Casticus, whose father had been called a friend by the senate of the Roman people, and also Dumnorix, the brother of Divitiacus, who at that time held power in the state.
