34. Philippus aliquid et ad caritatem suorum et ut promptius pro eo periculum adirent ratus profecturum se, [2] si equitum, qui ceciderant in expeditione, sepeliendorum curam habuisset, adferri eos in castra iussit, ut conspiceretur ab omnibus funeris honos. [3] nihil tam incertum nec tam inaestimabile est quam animi multitudinis. quod promptiores ad subeundam omnem dimicationem videbatur facturum, id metum pigritiamque incussit; [4] [p. 67] nam qui hastis sagittisque et rara lanceis facta vulnera vidissent, cum Graecis Illyriisque pugnare adsueti, postquam gladio Hispaniensi detruncata corpora, bracchiis cum humero abscisis, aut tota cervice desecta 1divisa a corpore capita patentiaque viscera et foeditatem aliam vulnerum viderunt, [5] adversus quae tela quosque viros pugnandum foret, pavidi vulgo cernebant. ipsum quoque regem terror cepit nondum iusto proelio cum Romanis congressum. [6] itaque revocato filio praesidioque, quod in faucibus Pelagoniae erat, ut iis copiis suas augeret, Pleurato Dardanisque iter in Macedoniam patefecit. [7] ipse cum viginti milibus peditum, duobus milibus equitum ducibus transfugis ad' hostem profectus paulo plus mille passus a castris Romanis tumulum propinquum Athaco fossa ac vallo communivit; [8] ac subiecta cernens Romana castra, admiratus esse dicitur et universam speciem castrorum et discripta suis quaeque partibus cum tendentium ordine tum itinerum intervallis et negasse barbarorum ea castra ulli videri posse. [9] [p. 68] biduum consul et rex, 2alter alterius conatus expectantes, continuere suos intra vallum; tertio die Romanus omnis in aciem copias eduxit.
