24. ἐπ᾽ ἄρχοντος δ᾽ Ἀθήνησι Νίκωνος Ῥωμαῖοι χιλιάρχους
ἓξ ἀντὶ τῶν ὑπάτων κατέστησαν, Λεύκιον Παπίριον, Γάιον
Σερουίλιον, Λεύκιον Κοΐνκτιον, Λεύκιον Κορνήλιον, Λεύκιον
Οὐαλέριον Αὖλον Μάλλιον. ἐπὶ δὲ τούτων Καρχηδόνιοι στρατεύσαντες
εἰς τὴν Ἰταλίαν τοῖς μὲν Ἱππωνιάταις ἐκπεπτωκόσιν ἐκ τῆς πατρίδος
ἀποκατέστησαν τὴν πόλιν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς πεφευγότας συναγαγόντες
πολλὴν ἐπιμέλειαν αὐτῶν ἐποιήσαντο.
[2]
μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα λοιμικῆς νόσου τοῖς κατοικοῦσι τὴν Καρχηδόνα
γενομένης, καὶ τῆς νόσου πολλὴν ἐπίτασιν ἐχούσης, πολλοὶ τῶν
Καρχηδονίων διεφθάρησαν, καὶ τὴν ἡγεμονίαν ἐκινδύνευσαν ἀποβαλεῖν:
οἵ τε γὰρ Λίβυες καταφρονήσαντες αὐτῶν ἀπέστησαν, οἵ τε τὴν
Σαρδόνα κατοικοῦντες, νομίσαντες ἔχειν καιρὸν κατὰ τῶν Καρχηδονίων,
ἀπέστησαν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν καὶ συμφρονήσαντες ἐπέθεντο τοῖς Καρχηδονίοις.
[3]
ἐγένετο δὲ περὶ τὸν αὐτὸν καιρὸν
θεόπεμπτός τις ἀτυχία κατὰ τὴν Καρχηδόνα. ταραχαὶ γὰρ καὶ φόβοι καὶ
πανικοὶ θόρυβοι συνεχεῖς ἐγίνοντο κατὰ τὴν πόλιν παράδοξοι, καὶ
πολλοὶ μὲν μετὰ τῶν ὅπλων ἐξεπήδων ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν, ὡς πολεμίων
εἰσπεπτωκότων εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλους ὡς πολεμίους
διαπολεμοῦντες, οὓς μὲν ἀνῄρουν, οὓς δὲ κατετραυμάτιζον. τέλος δὲ
θυσίαις τὸ θεῖον ἐξιλασάμενοι καὶ μόγις τῶν κακῶν ἀπαλλαγέντες, ταχὺ
καὶ τοὺς Λίβυας κατεπολέμησαν καὶ τὴν νῆσον ἀνεκτήσαντο.
