§16.3.1διʼ ἡμέρας μὲν ὅλης ἀγωνιζόμενοι τῶν πόνων ἠνείχοντο, ἀφελομένου δὲ τοῦ σκότους τὴν γνῶσιν τῶν τε οἰκείων καὶ τῶν πολεμίων πρὸς τοὺς οἰκείους χάρακας ἀπηλλάγησαν.

Appius Claudius, having committed some unlawful act concerning the sacrifices, was blinded and was addressed as Caecus; for so the Romans call the blind.
§16.3.2αἱ ἐντοίχιοι γραφαὶ ταῖς τε γραμμαῖς πάνυ ἀκριβεῖς ἦσαν καὶ τοῖς μίγμασιν ἡδεῖαι, παντὸς ἀπηλλαγμένον ἔχουσαι τοῦ καλουμένου ῥώπου τὸ ἀνθηρόν.

τὰς νουμηνίας οἱ Ῥωμαῖοι καλάνδας καλοῦσι, τὰς δὲ διχοτόμους νόννας, τὰς δὲ πανσελήνους εἰδούς.
The Romans call the new moons Kalends, the half-moons Nones, and the full moons Ides.
§16.3.3τοῖς δὲ κατὰ μέσην ἀγωνιζομένοις τὴν φάλαγγα ἀσπάθητον οὖσαν καὶ λαγαρὰν οἱ τῇδε τεταγμένοι συμπεσόντες ἐξέωσαν τῆς στάσεως.
But those stationed there, having fallen upon those fighting in the middle of the phalanx, which was unshielded and loose, drove them out of their position.
ὁ κατοικίδιός τε καὶ διοπετὴς πόλεμος ἐμάραινε τὴν ἀκμὴν τῆς πόλεως.
The domestic and heaven-sent war was wasting away the prime of the city.

And then, do you dare to accuse Fortune of having managed affairs badly, after having seated her upon a capsized boat?
οὕτω σκαιὸς ἦν.
So awkward was he.

Limbs, some still needing treatment, others newly drawing scars over themselves.
