10. iam tumultus erat clamorque, qualis esse in capta urbe solet; sed, quid rei esset, nemo satis pro certo scire. [2] Tarentini Romanos ad diripiendam urbem credere coortos; Romanis seditio aliqua cum fraude videri ab oppidanis mota. [3] praefectus primo excitatus tumultu in portum effugit; inde acceptus scapha in arcem circumvehitur. [4] errorem et tuba audita ex theatro faciebat, nam et Romana erat, a proditoribus ad hoc ipsum praeparata, et inscienter a Graeco inflata, quis aut quibus signum daret, incertum efficiebat. [5] ubi inluxit, et Romanis Punica et Gallica arma cognita tum dubitationem exemerunt et Graeci Romanos passim caede stratos cernentes ab Hannibale captam urbem senserunt. [6] postquam lux certior erat et Romani, qui caedibus superfuerant, in arcem confugerant conticiscebatque paulatim tumultus, tum Hannibal Tarentinos sine armis convocare iubet. [7] convenere omnes, praeterquam qui cedentis in arcem Romanos ad omnem adeundam simul fortunam persecuti fuerant. [8] ibi Hannibal benigne adlocutus Tarentinos testatusque, quae praestitisset civibus eorum, quos ad Trasumennum aut ad Cannas cepisset, [9] simul in dominationem superbam Romanorum invectus, recipere se in domos suas quemque iussit et foribus nomen suum inscriber': se domos [p. 248] eas, quae inscriptae non essent, signo extemplo dato diripi iussurum. si quis in hospitio civis Romani _ vacuas autem tenebant domosnomen inscripsisset eum se pro hoste habiturum. [10] contione dimissa cum titulis notatae fores discrimen pacatae ab hostili domo fecissent, signo dato ad diripienda hospitia Romana passim discursum est. et fuit praedae aliquantum.
