1. me quoque iuvat, velut ipse in parte laboris ac1 periculi fuerim, ad finem belli Punici pervenisse.

Claudium consulem, qui primum bellum Carthaginiensibus intulit, [5?] iam provideo animo, velut qui proximis3 litori vadis inducti mare pedibus ingrediuntur, quidquid progredior, in vastiorem me altitudinem ac velut profundum4 invehi, et crescere [p. 4] paene opus, quod prima quaeque perficiendo minui5 videbatur.
