40. his foederibus decretisque datis Manlius cum decem legatis omnique exercitu ad Hellespontum profectus, evocatis eo regulis Gallorum, leges, quibus pacem cum Eumene servarent, dixit, denuntiavit, [2] ut morem vagandi cum armis finirent agrorumque suorum terminis se continerent. [3] [p. 343] contractis deinde ex omni ora navibus et Eumenis etiam classe per Athenaeum fratrem regis ab 1 Elaea adducta copias omnes in Europam traiecit. [4] inde per Chersonesum modicis itineribus grave praeda omnis generis agmen trahens Lysimachiae stativa habuit, ut quam maxime recentibus et integris iumentis Thraeciam, per quam iter vulgo horrebant, ingrederetur. [5] quo profectus est ab Lysimachia die, ad amnem Melana quem vocant, inde postero die Cypsela pervenit. [6] a Cypselis via decem milium fere silvestris angusta confragosa excipiebat, propter cuius difficultatem itineris in duas partes divisus exercitus, et praecedere una iussa, altera magno intervallo cogere agmen, media impedimenta interposuit: plaustra cum pecunia publica erant pretiosaque alia praeda. [7] ita cum per saltum iret, Thraecum decem haud amplius milia ex quattuor populis, Astii et Caeni et Maduateni et Coreli, ad ipsas angustias viam circumsederunt. [8] opinio erat non sine Philippi Macedonum regis fraude id factum; eum scisse non alia quam per Thraeciam redituros Romanos, et quantam pecuniam secum portarent. [9] in primo agmine imperator erat, sollicitus propter iniquitatem locorum. Thraeces nihil se moverunt, donec armati transirent; [10] [p. 344] postquam primos superasse angustias viderunt, postremos nondum 2appropinquantis, impedimenta et sarcinas invadunt, caesisque custodibus partim ea, quae in plaustris erant, diripere, partim sub oneribus iumenta abstrahere. [11] unde postquam clamor primum ad eos, qui iam ingressi saltum sequebantur, deinde etiam ad primum agmen est perlatus, utrimque in medium concurritur, et inordinatum pluribus simul locis proelium conseritur. [12] Thraecas praeda ipsa impeditos oneribus et plerosque, ut ad rapiendum vacuas manus haberent, inermes ad caedem praebet; Romanos iniquitas locorum barbaris per calles notas obcursantibus et latentibus interdum per cavas valles prodebat. [13] ipsa etiam onera plaustraque, ut fors tulit, his aut illis incommode obiecta pugnantibus impedimento sunt. alibi praedo, alibi praedae vindex cadit. [14] prout locus iniquus aequusve his aut illis, prout animus pugnantium est, prout numerusalii enim pluribus. quam ipsi erant, alii paucioribus occurrerant —, varia fortuna pugnae est; [15] multi utrimque cadunt. iam nox appetebat, cum proelio excedunt Thraeces, non fuga vulnerum aut mortis, sed quia satis praedae habebant.
