The river stopped them all. To attack them by surprise, Afranius set out in the beginning of the night, with all his cavalry and three legions, and sent the horse on before, to fall on them unawares ; but the Gallic horse soon got themselves in readiness, and attacked them. Though but few, they withstood the vast number of the enemy, as long as they fought on equal terms ; but when the legions began to approach, having lost a few men, they retreated to the next mountains. The delay occasioned b...y this battle was of great importance to the security of our men ; for having gained time, they retired to the higher grounds. There were missing that day about two hundred bow-men, a few horse, and an inconsiderable number of servants and baggage.
CHAP. LII. However, by all these things, the price of provisions was raised, which is commonly a disaster attendant, not only on a time of present scarcity, but on the apprehension of future want. Provisions had now reached fifty denarii each bushel ; and the want of corn had diminished the strength of the soldiers ; and the inconveniences were increasing every day ; and so great an alteration was wrought in a few days, and fortune had so changed sides, that our men had to struggle with the want of every necessary ; while the enemy had an abundant supply of all things^and were considered to have the advantage.
