Tali cohortatione militum facta , classis ab utrisque in proelium deducitur . Quarum acie constituta , priusquam signum pugnae daretur , Hannibal nuntium in scapha cum caduceo mittit . Qui ubi ad naves adversariorum pervenit epistulamque ostendens se regem professus est quaerere , statim ad Eumenem deductus est , quod nemo dubitabat , quin aliquid de pace esset scriptum . Nuntius ducis nave declarata suis se recepit . At Eumenes soluta epistula nihil in ea repperit , nisi quae ad irridendum eum pertinerent . Cuius etsi causam mirabatur neque reperiebat , tamen proelium statim committere non dubitavit . Horum in concursu Bithynii Hannibalis praecepto universi navem Eumenis adoriuntur . Quorum vim rex cum sustinere non posset , fuga salutem petit . Cum reliquae Pergamenae naves adversarios premerent acrius , repente in eas vasa conici coepta sunt . Quae iacta initio risum pugnantibus concitarunt , neque , quare id fieret , poterat intellegere . Postquam autem naves suas oppletas conspexerunt serpentibus , nova re perterriti , puppes verterunt seque ad sua castra nautica rettulerunt . Sic Hannibal consilio arma Pergamenorum superavit .
With
such
a
cohort
of
soldiers
having
been
made
,
the
fleet
is
led
by
each
side
into
battle
.
With
the
battle
line
of
these
having
been
drawn
up
,
before
the
signal
of
fight
was
given
,
Hannibal
sends
a
messenger
in
a
small
boat
with
a
messenger’s
staff
.
When
he
reached
the
ships
of
the
enemies
,
and
,
showing
a
message
,
proclaims
that
he
is
seeking
the
king
,
immediately
he
has
been
led
to
Eumenes
,
because
no
one
was
doubting
that
what
had
been
written
was
about
peace
.
With
the
ship
of
the
commander
having
been
declared
,
the
messenger
took
himself
back
to
his
own
men
.
But
Eumenes
,
with
the
letter
having
been
opened
,
found
nothing
in
it
,
except
the
things
which
pertained
in
order
to
irritate
him
.
And
yet
he
did
not
wonder
at
the
cause
of
this
nor
did
he
discover
it
;
nevertheless
,
he
did
not
doubt
to
start
the
battle
immediately
.
All
of
the
Bithynians
,
because
of
the
command
of
Hannibal
,
rushed
in
a
charge
against
the
ship
of
Eumenes
.
When
the
king
was
not
able
to
withstand
the
force
of
them
,
he
sought
safety
by
flight
.
When
the
remaining
Pergamene
ships
had
pressed
down
their
enemies
sharply
,
suddenly
jars
began
to
be
thrown
into
them
.
At
first
,
the
things
having
been
thrown
stirred
up
laughter
in
those
fighting
,
nor
were
they
able
to
understand
why
this
happened
.
However
,
after
they
saw
that
their
ships
had
been
filled
with
snakes
,
having
been
terrified
by
this
new
thing
,
they
turned
their
ships
and
brought
themselves
back
to
their
naval
camps
.
Thus
Hannibal
overcame
the
forces
of
the
Pergamene
by
a
plan
.
