Temeritatis etiam et subiti et uehementes sunt impulsus, quorum ictibus hominum mentes concussae nec sua pericula dispicere nec aliena facta iusta aestimatione prosequi ualent. Quam enim temere se Africanus superior ex Hispania duabus quinqueremibus ad Syphacem traiecit, in unius Numidae infidis praecordiis suam pariter et patriae salutem depositurus! itaque exiguo momento maximae rei casus fluctuatus est, utrum interfector an captiuus Scipionis Syphax fieret.
