§10.15.1οἱ δὲ Ῥωμαῖοι κρατήσαντες τοῦ τείχους τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἐπεπορεύοντο κατὰ τὴν ἐφοδείαν ἀποσύροντες τοὺς πολεμίους, μεγάλα συμβαλλομένης αὐτοῖς τῆς ὁπλίσεως πρὸς τοῦτο τὸ γένος τῆς χρείας·
The Romans, having made themselves masters of the wall, at first proceeded along the parapet clearing the enemy, their armor being of great service to them in this kind of combat.
§10.15.2ἐπεὶ δʼ ἀφίκοντο πρὸς τὴν πύλην, οἱ μὲν καταβάντες διέκοπτον τοὺς μοχλούς, οἱ δʼ ἔξωθεν εἰσέπιπτον, οἱ δὲ διὰ τῶν κλιμάκων βιαζόμενοι κατὰ τὸν ἰσθμόν, ἤδη κρατοῦντες τῶν ἀμυνομένων, ἐπέβαινον ἐπὶ τὰς ἐπάλξεις.
But when they reached the gate, some of them descended and began to chop through the bolts, while those outside rushed in; and those who were forcing their way by the ladders at the isthmus, having now overpowered the defenders, began to mount the battlements.
§10.15.3καὶ τέλος τὰ μὲν τείχη τούτῳ τῷ τρόπῳ κατείληπτο, τὸν δὲ λόφον οἱ διὰ τῆς πύλης εἰσπορευόμενοι κατελάμβανον τὸν πρὸς τὰς ἀνατολάς, τρεψάμενοι τοὺς φυλάττοντας.
And at last the walls were captured in this manner; and those who entered through the gate occupied the hill on the east, after putting its defenders to flight.
§10.15.4ὁ δὲ Πόπλιος ἐπεὶ τοὺς εἰσεληλυθότας ἀξιόχρεως ὑπελάμβανεν εἶναι, τοὺς μὲν πλείστους ἐφῆκε κατὰ τὸ παρʼ αὐτοῖς ἔθος ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐν τῇ πόλει, παραγγείλας κτείνειν τὸν παρατυχόντα καὶ μηδενὸς φείδεσθαι, μηδὲ πρὸς τὰς ὠφελείας ὁρμᾶν, μέχρις ἂν ἀποδοθῇ τὸ σύνθημα.
But Publius, when he judged that those who had entered were sufficient in number, sent most of them against those in the city, according to their custom, with orders to kill everyone they met and to spare no one, and not to start plundering until the signal was given.
ποιεῖν δέ μοι δοκοῦσι τοῦτο καταπλήξεως χάριν· §10.15.5διὸ καὶ πολλάκις ἰδεῖν ἔστιν ἐν ταῖς τῶν Ῥωμαίων καταλήψεσι τῶν πόλεων οὐ μόνον τοὺς ἀνθρώπους πεφονευμένους, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς κύνας δεδιχοτομημένους καὶ τῶν ἄλλων ζῴων μέλη παρακεκομμένα.
They do this, it seems to me, to inspire terror; hence one may often see in cities captured by the Romans not only human beings slaughtered, but even dogs cleft in two and the limbs of other animals hacked off.
§10.15.6τότε δὲ καὶ τελέως πολὺ τὸ τοιοῦτον ἦν διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν κατειλημμένων.
And on this occasion, too, such scenes were very numerous on account of the great number of those who were captured.
§10.15.7αὐτὸς δὲ περὶ χιλίους ἔχων ὥρμησε πρὸς τὴν ἄκραν.
He himself, with about a thousand men, hastened toward the citadel.
ἐγγίσαντος δʼ αὐτοῦ τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἐπεβάλλετο Μάγων ἀμύνεσθαι, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα συννοήσας βεβαίως ἤδη κατειλημμένην τὴν πόλιν διεπέμψατο περὶ τῆς ἀσφαλείας τῆς αὑτοῦ, καὶ παρέδωκε τὴν ἄκραν.
As he approached, Mago at first attempted to defend himself, but after this, realizing clearly that the city was already captured, he sent a message to treat for his own safety and surrendered the citadel.
§10.15.8οὗ γενομένου, καὶ τοῦ συνθήματος ἀποδοθέντος, τοῦ μὲν φονεύειν ἀπέστησαν, ὥρμησαν δὲ πρὸς τὰς ἁρπαγάς.
When this was done and the signal was given, they ceased from slaughter and turned to plundering.
§10.15.9ἐπιγενομένης δὲ τῆς νυκτὸς οἱ μὲν ἐπὶ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἔμενον, οἷς ἦν οὕτω διατεταγμένον· μετὰ δὲ τῶν χιλίων ὁ στρατηγὸς ἐπὶ τῆς ἄκρας ηὐλίσθη, τοὺς δὲ λοιποὺς διὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων ἐκ τῶν οἰκιῶν ἐκκαλεσάμενος ἐπέταξε συναθροίσαντας εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν τὰ διηρπασμένα κατὰ σημαίας ἐπὶ τούτων κοιτάζεσθαι.
And when night came on, those who had been so ordered remained in the camp; but the general with his thousand slept in the citadel, and having summoned the rest from the houses through the military tribunes, he ordered them to collect the booty into the market-place and sleep by maniple near it.
§10.15.10τοὺς δὲ γροσφομάχους ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς καλέσας ἐπὶ τὸν λόφον ἐπέστησε τὸν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνατολῶν.
He also summoned the velites from the camp and stationed them on the hill on the east.
§10.15.11καὶ τῆς μὲν κατὰ τὴν Ἰβηρίαν Καρχηδόνος
