20. frendens gemensque ac vix lacrimis temperans dicitur legatorum verba audisse. [2] postquam edita sunt mandata, “iam non perplexe” inquit, “sed palam revocant qui vetando supplementum et pecuniam mitti iam pridem retrahebant.1 [3] vicit ergo Hannibalem non populus Romanus totiens caesus fugatusque, sed senatus Carthaginiensis obtrectatione atque invidia. [4] neque hac deformitate reditus mei tam P. Scipio exsultabit atque efferet sese quam Hanno, qui domum nostram, quando alia re non potuit, ruina Carthaginis oppressit.”

Scipionem ire ad Carthaginem ausum, qui consul hostem Poenum in Italia non vidisset; [9] se, centum milibus armatorum ad Trasumennum, ad Cannas caesis, circa Casilinum Cumasque et Nolam consenuisse. haec accusans querensque ex diutina possessione Italiae est detractus.
