Hold on I know a place to find Tacitus:

There is also:

Thanks Evan, but for the 'cuneus' we need the Histories by Tacitus, instead actually your links are for 'Germania' and 'Annales' (wonderful readings).

I've the Historiae but it's not easy to find the precise passage quoted by Colonel Macdowell .... not knowing the chapter ... a digitalized internet verison in this case would be more useful than the paper books because we would need only to clic on the word 'Cuneus' and the place in which Tacitus talks of the formation would magiaclly pop up ... :whistle:
