§1.62.1οἱ δὲ Καρχηδόνιοι, προσπεσούσης αὐτοῖς ἀπροσδοκήτως τῆς ἥττης, ταῖς μὲν ὁρμαῖς καὶ ταῖς φιλοτιμίαις ἀκμὴν ἕτοιμοι πολεμεῖν ἦσαν, τοῖς δὲ λογισμοῖς ἐξηπόρουν.
The Carthaginians, although their defeat had come upon them unexpectedly, were still ready to fight as far as their spirits and ambition were concerned, but in their calculations they were at a loss.
§1.62.2οὔτε γὰρ χορηγεῖν ἔτι ταῖς ἐν τῇ Σικελίᾳ δυνάμεσιν οἷοί τʼ ἦσαν, κρατούντων τῆς θαλάττης τῶν ὑπεναντίων· ἀπογνόντες δὲ ταύτας καὶ προδόται τρόπον τινὰ γενόμενοι, ποίαις χερσὶν ἢ ποίοις ἡγεμόσιν πολεμήσειαν οὐκ εἶχον.
For they were no longer able to send supplies to their forces in Sicily, as the enemy commanded the sea; while, if they abandoned them and became in a way traitors to them, they did not know with what forces or what generals they could carry on the war.
§1.62.3διόπερ ὀξέως διαπεμψάμενοι πρὸς τὸν Βάρκαν ἐπέτρεψαν ἐκείνῳ περὶ τῶν ὅλων.
Therefore they quickly sent a message to Barca and entrusted him with full power over the whole situation.
ὁ δὲ καὶ λίαν ἐποίησεν ἔργον ἡγεμόνος ἀγαθοῦ καὶ φρονίμου.
And he performed the part of a good and prudent general to the utmost.
§1.62.4μέχρι μὲν γὰρ ἐκ τῶν κατὰ λόγον ἦν τις ἐλπὶς ἐν τοῖς ὑποκειμένοις, οὐδὲν τῶν παραβόλων ἢ δεινῶν δοκούντων εἶναι παρέλιπεν, ἀλλὰ πάσας τὰς τοῦ νικᾶν ἐν τῷ πολεμεῖν ἐλπίδας, εἰ καί τις ἄλλος ἡγεμόνων, ἐξήλεγξεν.
For as long as there was some reasonable hope in the circumstances, he left nothing undone of what seemed venturesome or hazardous, but tested to the utmost every hope of winning in the war, as thoroughly as any other commander.
§1.62.5ἐπειδὴ δὲ περιέστη τὰ πράγματα, καὶ τῶν κατὰ λόγον οὐδὲν ἔτι κατελείπετο πρὸς τὸ σῴζειν τοὺς ὑποταττομένους, πάνυ νουνεχῶς καὶ πραγματικῶς εἴξας τοῖς παροῦσιν ὑπὲρ σπονδῶν καὶ διαλύσεων ἐξαπέστελλε πρεσβευτάς.
But when the situation changed, and no reasonable means was left any longer to save those under his command, he yielded to the present circumstances with great sense and practicality, and sent ambassadors to treat for a treaty and settlement.
§1.62.6τοῦ γὰρ αὐτοῦ νομιστέον ἡγεμόνος εἶναι τὸ δύνασθαι βλέπειν τόν τε τοῦ νικᾶν, ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τὸν τοῦ λείπεσθαι καιρόν.
For we must consider that it belongs to the same general to be able to see the time for victory, and likewise also the time for defeat.
§1.62.7τοῦ δὲ Λυτατίου προθύμως δεξαμένου τὰ παρακαλούμενα διὰ τὸ συνειδέναι τοῖς σφετέροις πράγμασι τετρυμένοις καὶ κάμνουσιν ἤδη τῷ πολέμῳ, συνέβη τέλος ἐπιθεῖναι τῇ διαφορᾷ τοιούτων τινῶν συνθηκῶν διαγραφεισῶν· " §1.62.81ἐπὶ τοῖσδε φιλίαν εἶναι Καρ‘χηδονίοις καὶ Ῥωμαίοις, ἐὰν καὶ τῷ δήμῳ τῶν ‘Ῥωμαίων συνδοκῇ.
And Lutatius readily accepted these proposals, because he was conscious that his own affairs were already worn out and suffering from the war, and so it came about that an end was put to the dispute by the drawing up of a treaty to this effect: "1 There shall be friendship between the Carthaginians and the Romans on the following terms, provided that the people of Rome also agree.
ἐκχωρεῖν Σικελίας ἁπάσης ‘Καρχηδονίους καὶ μὴ πολεμεῖν Ἱέρωνι μηδʼ ἐπι‘φέρειν ὅπλα Συρακοσίοις μηδὲ τῶν Συρακοσίων"
The Carthaginians shall evacuate the whole of Sicily, and shall not make war on Hiero, nor bear arms against the Syracusans or the allies of the Syracusans.
§1.62.91συμμάχοις.
1...allies.
ἀποδοῦναι Καρχηδονίους Ῥωμαίοις ‘χωρὶς λύτρων ἅπαντας τοὺς αἰχμαλώτους.
The Carthaginians shall restore to the Romans all prisoners without ransom.
ἀργυ‘ρίου κατενεγκεῖν Καρχηδονίους Ῥωμαίοις ἐν ἔτεσιν ‘εἴκοσι δισχίλια καὶ διακόσια τάλαντα Εὐβοϊκά. ’
The Carthaginians shall pay to the Romans in twenty years two thousand two hundred Euboic talents of silver."
