    COMMENTARIUS PRIMUS

    I. Gallia*++ est omnis*+ divisa*++ in partes+ tres++++, quarum+ unam*++ incolunt**++ Belgae*++++++, aliam* Aquitani*, tertiam qui* ipsorum* lingua*+ Celtae*, nostra Galli*+ appellantur*. [2] Hi omnes+ lingua, institutis+, legibus+ inter*+ se* differunt*++. Gallos**++ ab Aquitanis+ Garumna+ flumen+, a Belgis+ Matrona et Sequana+ dividit*++. [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+++. 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. [5] [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*. [6] Belgae ab extremis Galliae* finibus oriuntur, pertinent ad inferiorem partem*+ fluminis Rheni, spectant** in septentrionem et orientem solem. [7]  Aquitania a Garumna flumine ad Pyrenaeos montes et eam partem Oceani quae est ad Hispaniam* pertinet; spectat* inter occasum* solis et septentriones.]
