THE RIVAL CENTURIONS [2]

Haec cum dīxisset, extrā mūnītiōnēs prōcessit et in eam hostium partem quae cōfertissima vidēbātur inrūpit. Neque Vorēnus quidem tum vāllō sēsē continet, sed Pullōnem subsequitur. Tum Pullō pīlum in hostīs immittit atque ūnum ex multitūdine prōcurrentem trāicit. Hunc percussum et exanimātum hostēs scūtīs prōtegunt et in Pullōnem omnēs tēla coniciunt. Eius scūtum trānsfīgitur et tēlum in balteō dēfīgitur. Hic cāsus vāgīnam āvertit et dextram manum eius gladium ēdūcere cōnantis morātur. Eum ita impedītum hostēs circumsistunt.

[A] Then indeed Vorenus, (1) although (2) he is his enemy, (3) nevertheless gives assistance, (3) to him (4) while he is struggling. At once all the crowd turns from Pullo to (6) him. Vorenus fights hand-to-hand with his sword, and, (7) one (man) (8) having been killed, drives back the rest a little. But the unfortunate man, (9) pressing forward too eagerly, his foot (10) slipping, falls.

[B]

(1) To him again, (2) when surrounded, Pullo gives aid, and (3) both return within the fortifications (4) unharmed, after (5) many (6) had been killed, with the (7) highest praise. Thus (8) each of the enemies gave help (9) to the other, nor could (10) anyone judge between their courage.

[A] Tum vēro (4) eī (5) labōrantī Vorēnus, (1) cum (2) sit inimīcus, (3) tamen auxilium dat. Ad (6) hunc cōnfestim ā Pullōne omnis multitūdō sē convertit.
