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.


Because of this, the Helvetti also among the remaining Gauls led in virtue.  


One of the borders, in part, which is said to maintain Gaul, it starts from the river Rhodano, and meets the Garumna River at the ocean, the boundary of Belgarum, and touches river Rhenum, and are also touched by the Sequanis and the Helvetiis, who are at an incline to the north.   The Belgae, by limiting the boundaries of the Gauls, limit their growth, reach their part of the river Rheni, observe the Sun rising in the North.   Parts of the Aquitania province, the Garumna River and the Pyrenaeos Mountains, and the Ocean extend to Hispaniam; I watch between the sunset in the West and the sunrise in the North.
