§36.45.1neque ita multo post primum ab laevo cornu fuga coepit.
And not so long after, the flight began first from the left wing.
Polyxenidas enim ut virtute militum haud dubie se superari vidit, sublatis dolonibus effuse fugere intendit; mox idem et qui prope terram cum Eumene contraxerant certamen fecerunt.
For Polyxenidas, when he saw that he was undoubtedly surpassed in the valor of his soldiers, having raised the auxiliary sails, intended to flee headlong; soon those also who had engaged in combat with Eumenes near the land did the same.
§36.45.2Romani et Eumenes, quoad sufficere remiges potuerunt et in spe erant extremi agminis vexandi, satis pertinaciter secuti sunt.
The Romans and Eumenes pursued quite persistently, as long as the rowers were able to hold out and they were in hope of harassing the rear of the fleet.
§36.45.3postquam celeritate navium, utpote levium, suas commeatu onustas eludi frustra tendentis viderunt, tandem abstiterunt tredecim captis navibus cum milite ac remige, §36.45.4decem demersis.
After they saw that their own ships, loaded with provisions, were eluded by the speed of the enemy's ships—since they were light—while striving in vain to pursue, they finally desisted, after capturing thirteen ships with their soldiers and rowers, and sinking ten.
Romanae classis una Punica navis, in primo certamine ab duabus circumventa, periit.
Of the Roman fleet, one Carthaginian ship, which had been surrounded by two in the first engagement, was lost.
Polyxenidas non prius quam in portu Ephesi fugae finem fecit.
Polyxenidas did not make an end of his flight until he was in the harbor of Ephesus.
§36.45.5Romani eo die, unde egressa regia classis erat, manserunt; postero die hostem persequi intenderunt.
The Romans remained that day at the place from which the royal fleet had set out; the next day they intended to pursue the enemy.
medio fere in cursu obviae fuere iis quinque et viginti tectae Rhodiae naves cum Pausistrato praefecto classis.
Nearly in the middle of their course, twenty-five decked Rhodian ships met them under the command of Pausistratus, the prefect of the fleet.
§36.45.6his adiunctis Ephesum hostem persecuti ante ostium portus acie instructa steterunt.
Having joined these, they pursued the enemy to Ephesus and stood in battle array before the mouth of the harbor.
postquam confessionem victis satis expresserunt, Rhodii et Eumenes domos dimissi; §36.45.7Romani Chium petentes, Phoenicuntem primum portum Erythraeae terrae praetervecti, nocte ancoris iactis, postero die in insulam ad ipsam urbem traiecerunt.
After they had sufficiently extorted a confession of defeat from the vanquished, the Rhodians and Eumenes were dismissed to their homes; the Romans, heading for Chios, sailed past Phoenicus, the first harbor of the Erythraean land, and having cast anchor for the night, crossed over the next day to the island, to the city itself.
ubi paucos dies remige maxime reficiendo morati Phocaeam tramittunt.
Having delayed there for a few days, chiefly to refresh the rowers, they crossed over to Phocaea.
§36.45.8ibi relictis ad praesidium urbis quattuor quinqueremibus ad Canas classis venit; et, cum iam hiems appeteret, fossa valloque circumdatis naves subductae.
There, having left four quinqueremes for the defense of the city, the fleet came to Canae; and, as winter was now approaching, the ships were hauled ashore, surrounded by a ditch and a rampart.
§36.45.9exitu anni comitia Romae habita, quibus creati sunt consules L. Cornelius Scipio et C. Laelius Africanum intuentibus cunctis — ad finiendum cum Antiocho bellum.
At the close of the year, the elections were held at Rome, in which Lucius Cornelius Scipio and Gaius Laelius were elected consuls—while everyone looked toward Africanus—to finish the war with Antiochus.
postero die praetores creati M. Tuccius L. Aurunculeius Cn. Fulvius L. Aemilius P. Iunius C. Atinius Labeo.
On the following day, the praetors were elected: Marcus Tuccius, Lucius Aurunculeius, Gnaeus Fulvius, Lucius Aemilius, Publius Junius, and Gaius Atinius Labeo.
