    Original Text :ὡς δὲ εἶδε φεύγοντας πάντας τοὺς ἑαυτοῦ, τὴν χλαμύδα περιρρηξάμενος καὶ τὸ ξίφος σπασάμενος ἐς τοὺς φεύγοντας ἐσεπήδησεν, ὅπως ἢ αἰσχυνθέντες ὑποστρέψωσιν ἢ καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτοῖς συναπόληται. ἔστησαν γοῦν τινὲς τοιοῦτον αὐτὸν ἰδόντες καὶ ὑπέστρεψαν, κἀν τούτῳ τοῖς ἐφεπομένοις σφίσιν ἐναντίοι ἐξαίφνης φανέντες συχνοὺς μὲν ἐκείνων ὡς καὶ Ἀλβινείους κατέκοψαν, πάντας δὲ τοὺς ἐπιδιώκοντάς σφας ἔτρεψαν.
     
    Translation :When he saw all his men in flight, he tore off his riding cloak, and drawing his sword, rushed among the fugitives, hoping either that they would be ashamed and turn back or that he might himself perish with them. Some, indeed, did stop when they saw him in this attitude, and turned back; and brought in this way face to face with the men following them, they cut down not a few of them, supposing them to be Albinus' men, and they routed all their pursuers.
