45. dum altercationibus magis quam consiliis tempus teritur, Hannibal ex acie, quam ad multum diei tenuerat instructam, cum in castra ceteras reciperet copias, [2?] Numidas ad invadendos ex minoribus castris Romanorum aquatores trans flumen mittit. [3] quam inconditam turbam cum vixdum in ripam egressi clamore ac tumultu fugassent, in stationem ¹ quoque pro vallo locatam atque ad ipsas ² prope portas evecti sunt. [4] id vero adeo indignum ³ visum, ab tumultuario auxilio ⁴ iam etiam castra Romana terreri, ut ea modo una causa ne extemplo transirent flumen derigerentque aciem tenuerit Romanos, quod summa imperii eo die penes Paulum fuerit.

[5] itaque postero die Varro,⁵ cui sors eius diei imperii erat, nihil consulto collega signum proposuit instructasque copias flumen traduxit sequente Paulo, quia magis non probare quam non adiuvare consilium poterat. [6] transgressi flumen eas quoque quas in [p. 350] castris minoribus habuerant copias suis adiungunt ⁶ atque ita instruunt aciem:⁷ in dextro cornu—id erat flumini propius—Romanos equites locant, [7?] deinde pedites; laevum cornu extremi equites sociorum, intra pedites, ad medium iuncti legionibus Romanis, tenuerunt; iaculatores cum ceteris ⁸ levium armorum auxiliis prima acies facta. consules cornua tenuere,⁹ Terentius laevum, Aemilius dextrum; [8] gemino Servilio media pugna tuenda data.
