Signo itaque per bucinas dato, cum pede collato res agi coepisset, saeva vexillorum splendentium facie territi, stetere Germani. Quibus hebetatis parumper, reparatisque confestim, ad usque diei extimum concertatione protenta, validius imminens miles, fructum rei bene gestae sine dispendio quaesisset, ni Balchobaudes armaturarum tribunus, magniloquentia socordi coalitus, propinquante iam vespera, cessisset incondite. Quem si secutae residuae cohortes abissent, ad tristes exitus eo usque negotium venerat, ut nec acta nuntiaturus quisquam posset superesse nostrorum.
