4. In haec deflenda prolapsos ab recenti nuntio animos rursus terror instans revocavit ad consultandum quonam modo obviam praesentibus periculis iretur. [2] dilectus raptim in urbe agrisque haberi placet; mittere ad conducenda Afrorum auxilia; munire urbem, frumentum convehere, tela arma parare; instruere naves ac mittere ad Hipponem adversus Romanam classem. [3] iam haec agentibus nuntius tandem venit Laelium, non Scipionem, copiasque, quantae ad incursiones agrorum satis sint, transvectas; summae1 belli molem adhuc in Sicilia esse. [4] ita respiratum, mittique legationes2 ad Syphacem aliosque regulos firmandae societatis causa coeptae. ad Philippum quoque missi qui ducenta argenti talenta pollicerentur, ut in Siciliam aut in Italiam traiceret. [5] missi et ad suos imperatores in Italiam ut omni terrore Scipionem retinerent; ad Magonem non legati modo, [6?] sed viginti quinque longae naves, sex milia peditum, octingenti equites, septem elephanti, ad hoc magna pecunia ad conducenda auxilia, quibus fretus propius urbem Romanam exercitum admoveret coniungeretque se Hannibali.

[7] haec Carthagine parabant agitabantque cum3 [p. 224] ad Laelium praedas ingentes ex agro inermi ac nudo4 praesidiis agentem Masinissa, fama Romanae classis excitus, cum equitibus paucis venit. [8] is segniter rem agi ab Scipione questus, quod non iam exercitum in Africam traiecisset, perculsis Carthaginiensibus, Syphace impedito finitumis bellis; quem certum habere, si spatium ad sua ut velit componenda detur, nihil sincera fide cum Romanis acturum. [9] hortaretur, stimularet Scipionem ne cessaret; se, quamquam regno pulsus esset, cum haud contemnendis copiis adfuturum peditum equitumque. nec ipsi Laelio morandum in Africa esse; classem credere profectam a Carthagine, cum qua absente Scipione non satis tutum esset5 contrahi certamen.
