In eo proelio ex equitibus nostris interficiuntur IIII et LXX , in his vir fortissimus Piso Aquitanus , amplissimo genere natus , cuius avus in civitate sua regnum obtinuerat amicus a senatu nostro appellatus . Hic cum fratri intercluso ab hostibus auxilium ferret , illum ex periculo eripuit , ipse equo vulnerato deiectus , quoad potuit , fortissime restitit ; cum circumventus multis vulneribus acceptis cecidisset atque id frater , qui iam proelio excesserat , procul animadvertisset , incitato equo se hostibus obtulit atque interfectus est .
In
that
encounter

horse

slain

,
Piso

an
Aquitanian

most
valiant
man
,

descended
from
a
very
illustrious
family
;
whose
grandfather
had
held
the
sovereignty
of
his
state
,
and
had
been
styled
friend
by
our
senate
.
He
,
while
he
was

render
assistance

his
brother

was
surrounded
by
the
enemy
,
and
whom
he
rescued
from
danger
,
was
himself
thrown
from
his
horse
,
which
was
wounded
under
him
,
but
still
opposed
[
his
antagonists
]
with
the
greatest
intrepidity
,
as
long
as
he
was
able
to
maintain
the
conflict
.
When
at
length
he
fell
,
surrounded
on
all
sides

after

many
wounds

his
brother
,
who
had
then
retired
from
the
fight
,
observed
it
from
a
distance
,
he
spurred
on
his
horse
,
threw
himself
upon
the
enemy
,
and
was
killed
.
