Res Gestae

Upon the news of their destruction the remainder, who had been left at home as unfit for war, suffered extreme hardship; and in order to avoid the deadly attacks of their neighbours, who paid them like for like, they moved to a quieter abode on the Thermodon. Thereafter their descendants, who had greatly increased, returned, thanks to their numerous offspring, with a

very powerful force, and in later times were a cause of terror to peoples of divers nationalities.[*](Cf. Justin, ii. 4.)
