In the camp of the Helvetii, lists were found, drawn up in Greek characters, and were brought to Caesar, in which an estimate had been drawn up, name by name, of the number which had gone forth from their country of those who were able to bear arms; and likewise the boys, the old men, and the women, separately. Of all which items the total was:

    Of the Helvetii [lit. of the heads of the Helvetii]
  • 263,000
  • Of the Tulingi
  • 36,000
  • Of the Latobrigi
  • 14,000
  • Of the Rauraci
  • 23,000
  • Of the Boii
  • 32,000
  • The sum of all amounted to
  • 368,000
Out of these, such as could bear arms, [amounted] to about 92,000. When the census of those who returned home was taken, as Caesar had commanded, the number was found to be 110,000.
