Ma'ximus, Fa'bius
5. Q. Fabius Maximus, Q. F. Q. N., elder son of the preceding, was curule aedile in B. C. 215, and praetor in 214.
He was stationed in Apulia (Liv. 24.9, 11, 12), in the neighbourhood of Luceria ib. 12, 20), and co-operated ably with the other commanders in the second Punic war. (Cic. pro Rab. Post. 1.)
He was consul in B. C. 213, when Apulia was again his province (Liv. 24.45, 46). His father in this year served under him as legatus at Suessula. (Liv. 24.43, 44; Plut. Fab. 24.)
The younger Fabius was legatus to the consul M. Livius Salinator B. C. 207. (Liv. 28.9.)
He died soon after this period, and his funeral oration was pronounced by his father. (Cic. de Nat. Deor. 3.32, Tuscul. 3.28, De Sen. 4, ad Fam. 4.6.)

T. Pompo'nius Veianta'nus
commander of some of the allied troops in Southern Italy in B. C. 213, ventured to attack Hanno, the Carthaginian general, was defeated and taken prisoner.
He had formerly been one of the publicani, and had earned a bad character by cheating both the state and the farmers of the revenue with whom he was in partnership. (Liv. 25.1, 3.)
Stato'rius
a centurion in the army of P. and Cn. Scipio in Spain, in B. C. 213, was sent by these generals as an ambassador to Syphax, the king of the Numidians, with whom he remained in order to train foot-soldiers in the Roman tactics (Liv. 24.48, 30.28).
He appears to be the same as the L. Statorius, who afterwards accompanied C. Laelius, when he went on an embassy to Syphax. (Frontin. 1.1.3).
Syphax
(*Su/fac), a Numidian prince, frequently called king of Numidia, but properly, or at least originally, only king of the Massaesylians, the westernmost tribe of the Numidians. (Poly b. 16.23; Liv. 28.17.)
The period of his accession is unknown, nor do we learn anything of the relations in which he had stood towards the Carthaginians previous to the year B. C. 213, when we find him engaged in hostilities with that people.
This circumstance, together with the successes of the Roman arms in Spain at that juncture, induced the two Scipios to enter into friendly relations with him; they accordingly sent three officers as envoys to him, with promises of assistance from Rome if he persevered in his hostility to their common enemy; and one of these legates, Q. Statorius, even remained in Numidia to instruct him in the art of war. Under his direction Syphax levied a regular army, with which he was able to meet the Carthaginians in the field, and defeat them in a pitched battle. Hereupon
