33. Hasdrubal postquam animadvertit exiguum Romanum exercitum in castris et spem omnem in Celtiberorum auxiliis esse, [2] peritus omnis barbaricae et praecipue earum1 gentium in quibus per tot annos militabat perfidiae, [3] facili linguae commercio,2 cum utraque castra plena Hispanorum essent, per occulta conloquia paciscitur magna mercede cum Celtiberorum principibus ut copias inde abducant. [4] nec atrox visum facinusnon enim ut in Romanos verterent arma agebaturet merces quanta vel [p. 466] pro bello satis esset dabatur ne bellum gererent, et3 cum quies ipsa, tum reditus domum fructusque videndi suos suaque grata vulgo erant. [5] itaque non ducibus facilius quam multitudini persuasum est. simul ne metus quidem ab Romanis erat, quippe tam paucis, si vi retinerent. [6] id quidem cavendum semper Romanis ducibus erit exemplaque haec vere pro documentis habenda, ne ita externis credant auxiliis ut non plus sui roboris suarumque proprie virium in castris habeant. [7] signis repente sublatis Celtiberi abeunt, nihil aliud quaerentibus causam obtestantibusque ut manerent Romanis respondentes quam domestico se avocari bello. [8] Scipio, postquam socii nec precibus nec vi retineri poterant, nec se aut parem sine illis hosti esse aut fratri rursus coniungi vidit posse, nec ullum aliud salutare consilium in promptu esse, [9] retro quantum posset cedere statuit, in id omni cura intentus necubi hosti aequo se committeret loco, qui transgressus flumen prope vestigiis abeuntium insistebat.
