14. tertio inde die ad Casum amnem perventum; inde profecti Erizam urbem primo impetu ceperunt. [2] ad Thabusion castellum imminens flumini Indo ventum est, cui fecerat nomen Indus ab elephanto delectus. [3] haud procul a Cibyra aberant, nec legatio ulla a Moagete, tyranno civitatis eius, homine ad omnia infido atque importuno, veniebat. [4] ad temptandum eius animum C. Helvium1 cum quattuor milibus peditum et quingentis2 equitibus consul praemittit. huic agmini iam fines ingredienti legati occurrerunt nuntiantes paratum esse tyrannum3 imperata facere; [5] orabant ut pacatus fines iniret cohiberetque a populatione agri militem, et in corona aurea quindecim talenta adferebant. [6] Helvius integros4 a populatione agros servaturum pollicitus ire ad consulem legatos iussit. [7] quibus eadem referentibus consulneque Romaniinquitbonae voluntatis ullum signum erga nos tyranni habemus, et ipsum talem esse inter omnes constat ut de poena eius magis quam de amicitia nobis5 cogitandum sit.” [8] perturbati hac voce legati nihil aliud6 petere quam ut coronam acciperet veniendique ad eum tyranno potestatem et copiam loquendi ac purgandi se faceret. [9] permissu consulis postero die in castra [p. 46] tyrannus venit, vestitus comitatusque vix ad privati7 modice locupletis habitum, et oratio fuit summissa et infracta, extenuantis opes suas urbiumque suae dicionis egestatem querentis. [10] erant autem sub eo8 praeter Cibyram Sylleum et ad Limnen quae appellatur. ex his, ut se suosque spoliaret, quinque et viginti talenta se confecturum, prope ut diffidens pollicebatur. [11] “enimveroinquit consulferri iam ludificatio ista non potest. parum est non erubuisse absentem, cum per legatos frustrareris nos; praesens quoque in eadem perstas impudentia. [12] quinque et viginti talenta tyrannidem tuam exhaurient? quingenta ergo talenta nisi triduo numeras, populationem in agris, obsidionem in urbe expecta.” [13] hac denuntiatione conterritus perstare9 tamen in pertinaci simulatione inopiae. [14] et paulatim illiberali adiectione nunc per cavillationem, nunc precibus et simulatis lacrimis ad centum talenta est perductus. adiecta decem milia medimnum frumenti. haec omnia intra sex dies exacta.
