§41.4.1sub haec A. Baeculonium, signiferum suum, notae fortitudinis virum, inferre signum iussit.
Upon this, the consul ordered Aulus Baeculonius, his own standard-bearer, a man of well-known courage, to advance the standard.
ille, si se sequerentur, quo celerius fieret, facturum dixit; §41.4.2conisusque cum trans vallum signum traiecisset, primus omnium portam intravit.
He replied that if they would follow him, he would do so, in order that it might be done more quickly; and having exerted himself, when he had thrown the standard over the rampart, he was the first of all to enter the gate.
§41.4.3et parte alia T. et C. Aelii, tribuni militum tertiae legionis, cum equitatu adveniunt.
And in another part, Titus and Gaius Aelius, the military tribunes of the third legion, arrived with the cavalry.
confestim et quos binos oneraria in iumenta imposuerant secuti, et consul cum toto agmine.
Immediately those whom they had placed two by two on the beasts of burden followed, and also the consul with his entire army.
§41.4.4at Histrorum pauci, qui modice vino usi erant, memores fuerant fugae, aliis somno mors continuata est; integraque sua omnia Romani, praeterquam quod vini cibique absumptum erat, receperunt.
But of the Istrians, a few who had used wine moderately were mindful of flight; for the others, death was but a continuation of sleep; and the Romans recovered all their belongings intact, except what of the wine and food had been consumed.
§41.4.5aegri quoque milites, qui in castris relicti fuerant, postquam intra vallum suos senserunt, armis arreptis caedem ingentem fecerunt.
The sick soldiers also, who had been left in the camp, as soon as they perceived their comrades inside the rampart, seized their arms and made a great slaughter.
§41.4.6ante omnes insignis opera fuit C. Popili equitis; Sabello cognomen erat.
Before all, the service of Gaius Popilius, a cavalryman, was distinguished; his surname was Sabellus.
is pede saucio relictus longe plurimos hostium occidit.
Having been left behind with a wounded foot, he killed by far the greatest number of the enemy.
§41.4.7ad octo milia Histrorum sunt caesa, captus nemo, quia ira et indignatio immemores praedae fecit.
About eight thousand of the Istrians were slain, and no one was captured, because anger and indignation made them unmindful of plunder.
rex tamen Histrorum temulentus ex convivio, raptim a suis in equum impositus, fugit.
The king of the Istrians, however, drunk from the banquet, was hastily placed on a horse by his men and fled.
§41.4.8ex victoribus ducenti triginta septem milites perierunt, plures in matutina fuga quam in recipiendis castris.
Of the victors, two hundred and thirty-seven soldiers perished, more in the morning flight than in recovering the camp.
