[3] θηρία προϊεμένους. ἥ τε δύναμις ὑπέλειπε πολλοὺς τῶν βαρβάρων ἐκλυομένων τῶν μελῶν ὑπὸ κόπων καὶ τῶν ὅπλων τὰ μὲν ἀπεστόμωτο, τὰ δὲ συνετέθραυστο, τὰ δ᾽ οὐκέτι προσωφελεῖν δυνατὰ ἦν: χωρὶς γὰρ τοῦ καταρρέοντος ἐκ τῶν τραυμάτων αἵματος οἱ δι᾽ ὅλων ἐκχεόμενοι τῶν σωμάτων ἱδρῶτες οὔτε τὰς μαχαίρας εἴων κρατεῖν οὔτε τοὺς θυρεοὺς κατέχειν, περιολισθανόντων ταῖς λαβαῖς τῶν δυκτύλων καὶ τὰς ἁφὰς οὐκέτι κραταιὰς ἐχόντων. Ῥωμαῖοι δὲ πολλῶν ἐθάδες ὄντες πόνων διὰ τὰς ἀτρύτους καὶ συνεχεῖς στρατείας ἅπαντα τὰ δεινὰ γενναίως ἀνέφερον. Ambr. [p. 257]
