3 Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Belgae, propterea quod a cultu atque humanitate provinciae longissime absunt, minimeque ad eos mercatores saepe commeant atque ea quae ad effeminandos animos pertinent important, 4 proximique sunt Germanis, qui trans Rhenum incolunt, quibuscum continenter bellum gerunt.

3 Of all these, the Belgae are the bravest, because they are the farthest away from the culture and civilization of the Province, and the merchants least frequently resort to them, and import those things which tend to effeminate the mind; 4 they are closest to the Germans across the Rhine River, with whom they are constantly at war.
