Tali cohortatione militum facta classis ab utrisque in proelium deducitur . Quarum acie constituta , priusquam signum pugnae daretur , Hannibal , ut palam faceret suis , quo loco Eumenes esset , tabellarium 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 . Tabellarius ducis nave declarata suis eodem , unde erat egressus , 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 . Reliquae Pergamenae naves cum adversarios premerent acrius , repente in eas vasa fictilia , de quibus supra mentionem fecimus , conici coepta sunt . Quae iacta initio risum pugnantibus concitarunt , neque , quare id fieret , poterat intellegi . 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
an
encouragement
of
the
soldiers
having
been
made
,
the
fleet
is
lead
into
battle
on
both
sides
.
With
a
battle
line
of
them
having
been
drawn
up
,
the
sign
of
battle
was
given
.
Hannibal
,
so
that
he
would
make
it
clear
to
his
guys
in
what
spot
Eumenes
was
,
sent
a
messenger
in
a
small
ship
with
a
caduceus
.
When
he
arrived
at
the
ships
of
the
enemies
,
and
pointing
out
a
letter
,
has
professed
that
he
was
seeking
the
king
,
immediately
he
has
been
led
to
Eumenes
,
because
no
one
doubts
that
anything
of
peace
had
been
written
.
The
messenger
,
with
the
ship
of
the
king
having
been
declared
,
took
himself
back
to
that
place
from
where
he
had
gone
out
.
But
Eumenes
,
with
the
letter
having
been
opened
,
found
nothing
in
it
except
things
which
pretained
to
mocking
him
.
Although
he
was
marveling
at
its
cause
and
did
not
find
[
anything
]
,
nevertheless
he
did
not
doubt
to
engage
in
battle
immediately
.
All the Bithynians , because of the order of Hannibal , were attacking the ship of Eumenes in their charge . When the king was not able to withstand their force , he sought safety by flight . When the remaining Pergamon ships were pressing the enemies more harshly , suddenly clay jars , of which we made mention above , have begun to be thrown into them . These things having been throw in the beginning stirred up laughter for the ones fighting , and it was not able to be understood why this was happening . However , after they saw that their ships had been filled up with snakes , terrified by the new circumstance , they turned their ships and took themselves back to their naval camps . Thus Hannibal conquered the arms of Pergamon with a plan .
