Original Text :	Itaque videntes inceptum suum votis suis non respondisse, ossa filü regis - necdum enim imperator factus erat - o inhumanam mentem, o probrosam vindictam! - effodere. Qua utraque iniuria gravissima rex commotus exercitum contra gentem illam duxit, conflixit, vicit; vicit, inquam, aciem contra se instructam, non obstinationem erectam. Nam licet eos in pugna congressos vinceret, victos fugaret, fugatos persequeretur; licet bona eorum devastaret, munitiones everteret et omnia quae victorem libet faceret, non tamen ad deditionem cogi potuerunt.
