Καρχηδόνιοι γὰρ βαρέως μὲν ἔφερον καὶ τὴν ὑπὲρ Σικελίας ἧτταν, συνεπέτεινε δʼ αὐτῶν τὴν ὀργήν, καθάπερ ἐπάνω προεῖπον, τὰ κατὰ Σαρδόνα καὶ τὸ τῶν τελευταῖον συντεθέντων χρημάτων πλῆθος.
For the Carthaginians bore heavily indeed the defeat over Sicily, but their anger was further intensified, as I said above, by the affairs of Sardinia and the large amount of money finally imposed on them.
§3.13.2διόπερ ἅμα τῷ τὰ πλεῖστα κατʼ Ἰβηρίαν ὑφʼ αὑτοὺς ποιήσασθαι πρὸς πᾶν ἑτοίμως διέκειντο τὸ κατὰ Ῥωμαίων ὑποδεικνύμενον.
Therefore, as soon as they had brought most of Iberia under their subjection, they were readily disposed toward any action directed against the Romans.
§3.13.3προσπεσούσης οὖν τῆς Ἀσδρούβου τελευτῆς, ᾧ μετὰ τὸν Ἀμίλκου θάνατον ἐνεχείρισαν τὰ κατὰ τὴν Ἰβηρίαν, τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἐκαραδόκουν τὰς τῶν δυνάμεων ὁρμάς·
Thus, when the news of the death of Hasdrubal arrived—to whom they had entrusted the affairs in Iberia after the death of Hamilcar—they at first waited expectantly to see the inclination of the forces.
§3.13.4ἀφικομένης δὲ τῆς ἀγγελίας ἐκ τῶν στρατοπέδων ὅτι συμβαίνει τὰς δυνάμεις ὁμοθυμαδὸν ᾑρῆσθαι στρατηγὸν Ἀννίβαν, παραυτίκα συναθροίσαντες τὸν δῆμον μιᾷ γνώμῃ κυρίαν ἐποίησαν τὴν τῶν στρατοπέδων αἵρεσιν.
But when the message came from the camps that the forces had unanimously elected Hannibal as their general, they immediately assembled the people and by common consent ratified the choice of the camps.
§3.13.5Ἀννίβας δὲ παραλαβὼν τὴν ἀρχὴν εὐθέως ὥρμησεν ὡς καταστρεψόμενος τὸ τῶν Ὀλκάδων ἔθνος· ἀφικόμενος δὲ πρὸς Ἀλθαίαν τὴν βαρυτάτην αὐτῶν πόλιν κατεστρατοπέδευσεν.
Hannibal, having taken over the command, at once set out with the intention of subduing the nation of the Olcades; and arriving before Althaea, their strongest city, he encamped.
§3.13.6μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα χρησάμενος ἐνεργοῖς ἅμα καὶ καταπληκτικαῖς προσβολαῖς ταχέως ἐκράτησε τῆς πόλεως.
After this, making active as well as formidable assaults, he quickly became master of the city.
οὗ συμβάντος οἱ λοιποὶ γενόμενοι καταπλαγεῖς ἐνέδωκαν αὑτοὺς τοῖς Καρχηδονίοις.
Upon this happening, the rest, being struck with terror, surrendered themselves to the Carthaginians.
§3.13.7ἀργυρολογήσας δὲ τὰς πόλεις καὶ κυριεύσας πολλῶν χρημάτων ἧκε παραχειμάσων εἰς Καινὴν πόλιν.
Having exacted money from the cities and gained possession of a large sum, he came to Kaine Polis to pass the winter.
§3.13.8μεγαλοψύχως δὲ χρησάμενος τοῖς ὑποταττομένοις καὶ τὰ μὲν δοὺς τῶν ὀψωνίων τοῖς συστρατευομένοις τὰ δʼ ὑπισχνούμενος πολλὴν εὔνοιαν καὶ μεγάλας ἐλπίδας ἐνειρ
Dealing generously with his subjects, and giving part of their pay to his fellow-soldiers while promising the rest, he inspired great goodwill and high hopes in th
