10. iam comitiorum adpetebat tempus, cum a P. Licinio consule litterae Romam allatae, se exercitumque suum gravi morbo adflictari, nec sisti potuisse, [p. 498] ni eadem vis mali aut gravior etiam in hostes ingruisset; [2] itaque, quoniam ipse venire ad comitia non posset, si ita patribus videretur, se Q. Caecilium Metellum dictatorem comitiorum causa dicturum; exercitum Q. Caecili dimitti e re publica esse; [3] nam neque usum eius ullum in praesentia esse, cum Hannibal iam in hiberna suos receperit, et tanta incesserit in ea castra vis morbi, ut, nisi mature dimittantur, nemo omnium superfuturus videatur. ea consuli a patribus facienda, ut e re publica fideque sua duceret, permissa.

[7] in eiusdem spei summam conferebant P. Scipionis velut praesagientem animum de fine belli, quod depoposcisset provinciam Africam. [8] itaque, quo maturius fatis, ominibus oraculisque portendentis sese victoriae compotes fierent, id cogitare atque agitare, quae ratio transportandae Romam deae esset.
