Per ignota itaque et palustres uligines devius tendens, insidiatricis manus locatae per abdita subito oppetisset accursu, ni necessitatis adiumento postremo, per labilem limum incitato iumento digressus, legionum se gremiis immersisset, post abruptum periculum, cui adeo proximus fuit, ut galeam eius cubicularius ferens, auro lapillisque distinctam, cum ipso tegmine penitus interiret, nec postea vivus reperiretur aut interfectus.
