[78]
To sum up; he alone of all our generals
never lost a city, a fort, a ship, or a man, as long as he led you; and none of
your enemies can boast a single trophy won from you and him, while you possess
many won from many enemies while he was your general. But for fear lest my
speech should omit any of his exploits, the clerk shall read to you an inventory
of all the ships he took and where he took each, the number of cities and the
amount of treasure captured, and the place where he set up each trophy.
