Theseus posteaquam Cretam venit , ab Ariadne , Minois filia , est adamatus adeo , ut fratrem proderet et hospitem servaret ; ea enim Theseo monstravit labyrinthi exitum , quo Theseus cum introisset et Minotaurum interfecisset , Ariadnes monitu licium revolvendo foras est egressus eamque , quod fidem ei dederat , in coniugio secum habiturus avexit .

Theseus in insula Dia tempestate retentus cogitans , si Ariadnen in patriam portasset , sibi opprobrium futurum , itaque in insula Dia dormientem reliquit ; quam Liber amans inde sibi in coniugium abduxit . Theseus autem cum navigaret , oblitus est vela atra mutare , itaque Aegeus pater eius , credens Theseum a Minotauro esse consumptum , in mare se praecipitavit , ex quo Aegeum pelagus est dictum . Ariadnes autem sororem Phaedram Theseus duxit in coniugium .

Forte dominus Capuae exierat ad scruta scita expedienda . Nactus ego occasionem persuadeo hospitem nostrum , ut mecum ad quintum miliarium veniat . Erat autem miles , fortis tanquam Orcus . Apoculamus nos circa gallicinia ; luna lucebat tanquam meridie . Venimus inter monimenta : homo meus coepit ad stelas facere ; sedeo ego cantabundus et stelas numero . Deinde ut respexi ad comitem , ille exuit se et omnia vestimenta secundum viam posuit . Mihi anima in naso esse ; stabam tanquam mortuus . At ille circumminxit vestimenta sua , et subito lupus factus est . Nolite me iocari putare ; ut mentiar , nullius patrimonium tanti facio .

" My father , " he said " Hamilcar having been a little boy when I not being born 9 years , Hamilcar setting out to Spain as the commander of Carthage , offered a sacrifice to Jupiter the biggest and best . While the divine thing was being constructed , he asked me if I wanted to set out toward the fortress with him . This he willingly accepts and began to seek him that he does not doubt him then he said I will do if you will give faith to me which I ask for . He ordered me to hold on to it to swear that I would never be friends with Romans . I preserved the oath having been given up until now .

Hac pugna pugnata Romam profectus est nullo resistente . In propinquis urbi montibus moratus est . Cum aliquot ibi dies castra habuisset et Capuam reverteretur , Q . Fabius Maximus , dictator Romanus , in agro Falerno ei se obiecit . Hic clausus locorum angustiis noctu sine ullo detrimento exercitus se expedivit ; Fabioque , callidissimo imperatori , dedit verba . Namque obducta nocte sarmenta in cornibus iuvencorum deligata incendit et multitudinem magnam dispalatam immisit . Quo repentino obiecto visu tantum terrorem iniecit exercitui Romanorum , ut egredi extra vallum nemo sit ausus . Hanc post rem gestam non ita multis diebus M . Minucium Rufum , magistrum equitum pari dictatorem imperio , dolo productum in proelium fugavit . M . Claudium Marcellum , V consulem , apud Venusiam pari modo interfecit . Longum est omnia enumerare proelia . Quare hoc unum satis erit dictum , ex quo intellegi possit , quantus ille fuerit : quamdiu in Italia fuit , nemo ei in acie restitit , nemo adversus eum post Cannensem pugnam in campo castra posuit .
