Persultabat Illyricum furor hostilis, absentiam nostram inanitate tumenti despiciens, dum Italos tueremur et Gallos, variisque discursibus vastabat extima limitum, nunc cavatis roboribus, aliquotiens peragrans pedibus flumina, non congressibus nec armis fretus aut viribus, sed latrociniis assuetus occultis, astu et ludificandi varietate, iam inde ab instituta gente nostris quoque maioribus formidatus; quae longius disparati, qua ferri poterant tulimus, saeviores iacturas efficacia ducum vitari posse sperantes.
