8.

At Hannibal anno quarto, postquam domo profugerat, L. Cornelio Q. Minucio consulibus, cum quinque navibus Africam accessit in finibus Cyrenaeorum, si forte Karthaginienses ad bellum inducere posset Antiochi spe fiduciaque, cui iam persuaserat ut cum exercitibus in Italiam proficisceretur. huc Magonem fratrem excivit. [2] id ubi Poeni resciverunt, Magonem eadem, qua fratrem, absentem affecerunt poena. illi desperatis rebus cum solvissent naves ac vela ventis dedissent, Hannibal ad Antiochum pervenit. de Magonis interitu duplex memoria prodita est: namque alii naufragio, alii a servulis ipsius interfectum eum scriptum reliquerunt. [3] Antiochus autem si tam in gerendo bello consiliis eius parere voluisset, quam in suscipiendo instituerat, propius Tiberi quam in Thermopylis de summa imperii dimicasset. quem etsi multa stulte conari videbat, tamen nulla deseruit in re. [4] praefuit paucis navibus, quas ex Syria iussus erat in Asiam ducere, iisque adversus Rhodiorum classem in Pamphylio mari conflixit. in quo cum multitudine adversariorum sui superarentur, ipse quo cornu rem gessit fuit superior.
