The Gauls, terrified both by the memory of the disaster of the Tolostobogii and carrying weapons sticking in their bodies, and exhausted both by standing and by wounds, did not withstand even the first onset and shout of the Romans. The flight turned toward the camp; but few withdrew within the fortifications; the greater part, passing by on the right and on the left, fled wherever each one's impulse carried him. The victors, having pursued them right up to the camp, cut down their rear; then they lingered in the camp out of desire for plunder, and no one continued the pursuit. On the wings the Gauls stood longer, because they were reached later; however, they did not withstand even the first discharge of weapons. The consul, since he could not draw away from plundering those who had entered the camp, immediately sent those who had been on the wings to pursue the enemy. Having pursued them for some distance, they nevertheless cut down no more than eight thousand men in the flight — for there was no battle; the rest crossed the river Halys. A large part of the Romans remained that night in the camp of the enemy; the consul led the rest back to their own camp.
ceteros in sua castra consul reduxit. postero die captivos praedamque recensuit, quae tanta fuit, quantam avidissima rapiendi gens, cum cis montem Taurum omnia armis per multos annos tenuisset, coacervare potuit. §38.27.8Galli ex dissipata passim fuga in unum locum congregati, magna pars saucii aut inermes, nudati omnibus rebus, oratores de pace ad consulem miserunt. §38.27.9eos Manlius Ephesum venire iussit; ipse — iam enim medium autumni erat — locis gelidis propinquitate Tauri montis excedere properans victorem exercitum in hiberna maritimae orae reduxit.
On the following day he took an account of the prisoners and the booty, which was as great as a nation most greedy for plunder could accumulate when it had held everything by force of arms for many years on this side of Mount Taurus. The Gauls, gathered into one place from their scattered flight in all directions, a large part wounded or unarmed, stripped of all things, sent envoys to the consul to treat of peace. Manlius ordered them to come to Ephesus; he himself — for it was now the middle of autumn — hastening to depart from the cold regions owing to the proximity of Mount Taurus, led the victorious army back to winter quarters on the maritime coast.
