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 .
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
.
