19 Interea Caesarem apud Tarraconem citerioris Hispaniae urbem legati Indorum et Scytharum toto orbe transmisso tandem ibi inuenerunt, ultra quod iam quaerere non possent, refuderuntque in Caesarem Alexandri Magni gloriam: 20 quem sicut Hispanorum Gallorumque legatio in medio oriente apud Babylonam contemplatione pacis adiit, ita hunc apud Hispaniam in occidentis ultimo supplex cum gentilicio munere eous Indus et Scytha boreus orauit. 21 Cantabrico bello per quinque annos acto totaque Hispania in aeternam pacem cum quadam respiratione lassitudinis reclinata ac reposita, Caesar Romam rediit. |
| Translation |
19. Meanwhile, envoys from the Indians and Scythians, after crossing
the whole world, finally found Caesar at Tarragona in Hither Spain, beyond
which they would have been unable to seek him. They reinvested Caesar
with the glory of Alexander the Great, 20. for just as an embassy from
the Spaniards and Gauls had come to Alexander seeking peace when he was in the middle of the east at Babylon, so now the Indian from the east
and the Scythian from the north begged him in the utmost west, in Spain,
for peace, coming as suppliants with gifts from their peoples. |
