[TR1] Transcriber's Note: the English original says "Gaul is bounded
by the Rhine" which is wrong as can be seen both from the Latin
expression and the original German edition.
[TR2] Transcriber's Note: In the original book Auden translates
_Rhodanus Sequanos ab Helvetiis dividit_ wrongly as "the Rhine is the
frontier between the Helvetii and the Sequani." The French and German
versions correctly translate _Rhodanus_ as "le Rhône" and "Rhone".
