Caesar, when he perceived that his soldiers were fighting on unfavorable ground, and that the enemy's forces were increasing, being alarmed for the safety of his troops, sent orders to Titus Sextius, one of his lieutenants, whom he had left to guard the smaller camp, to lead out his cohorts quickly from the camp, and post them at the foot of the hill, on the right wing of the enemy;
Caesar, cum iniquo loco pugnari hostiumque augeri copias videret, praemetuens suis ad Titum Sextium legatum, quem minoribus castris praesidio reliquerat, misit, ut cohortes ex castris celeriter educeret et sub infimo colle ab dextro latere hostium constitueret,
that if he should see our men driven from the ground, he should deter the enemy from following too closely.
ut, si nostros loco depulsos vidisset, quo minus libere hostes insequerentur terreret.
He himself, advancing with the legion a little from that place where he had taken his post, awaited the issue of the battle.
Ipse paulum ex eo loco cum legione progressus, ubi constiterat, eventum pugnae exspectabat.
