34. de transitu in Italiam Gallorum haec accepimus: Prisco Tarquinio Romae regnante Celtarum, quae pars Galliae tertia est, penes Bituriges summa imperii fuit; ii regem Celtico dabant. [2] ambigatus is fuit, virtute fortunaque cum sua tum publica praepollens, quod in imperio eius Gallia adeo frugum hominumque fertilis fuit ut abundans multitudo vix regi videretur posse. [3] hic magno natu ipse iam exonerare praegravante turba regnum cupiens, Bellovesum ac Segovesum, sororis filios, impigros iuvenes, missurum se esse in quas di dedissent auguriis sedes ostendit: quantum ipsi vellent numerum hominum excirent, [4?] ne qua gens arcere advenientes posset. tum Segoveso sortibus dati Hercynei saltus; [p. 118] Belloveso haud paulo laetiorem in Italiam viam di1 dabant. [5] is quod eius ex populis abundabat, Bituriges Arvernos Senones Haeduos2 Ambarros Carnutes Aulercos excivit. profectus ingentibus peditum equitumque copiis in Tricastinos3 venit.

Alpes inde oppositae erant; [6] quas inexsuperabiles visas haud equidem miror nulladum via, quod quidem continens memoria sit, nisi de Hercule fabulis credere libet, superatas. [7] ibi cum velut saeptos montium altitudo teneret Gallos circumspectarentque quanam per iuncta caelo iuga in alium orbem terrarum transirent, religio etiam tenuit quod allatum est advenas quaerentes agrum ab Saluum gente oppugnari. [8] massilienses erant ii, navibus a Phocaea profecti. id Galli fortunae suae omen rati adiuvere ut quem primum in terram egressi occupaverant locum patientibus Saluis4 communirent. ipsi per Taurinos saltus saltumque Duriae Alpes5 transcenderunt; [9] fusisque acie Tuscis haud procul Ticino flumine, cum in quo consederant agrum Insubrium appellari audissent, cognominem Insubribus, pago Haeduorum, ibi omen sequentes loci condidere urbem; Mediolanium appellarunt.
