In the camp before Numantia the wisdom and courage of Tiberius were all the more conspicuous (deaìáμñw) because of the unfitness (apparia) of the Roman commander. The besieged Numantines had even ventured to come out and engage the besiegers before the walls of the town. And in the battle that ensued, if not victorious, they so disheartened (xatanýσow) the Roman general that he determined to raise the siege (àлavioTaμa). Orders were sent round (epiarréλw) to the ταμαι). soldiers to hold themselves in readiness (παρασκευάζω) to evacuate the camp during the night. He hoped in this way to withdraw unobserved by the inhabitants of the place. But the enemy were on the watch (typέw)

and made a spirited attack (προθύμως ἐπιτίθεμαι) upon the retreating army which they quickly surrounded (ἐγκυκλόω) and forced into an unfavourable position (συνωθέω εἰς χαλεπὸν τόπον) from which there was no escape Despairing of (ἀπογιγνώσκω) safety, the general sent a herald to the Numantines to ask for a truce. They replied that they had no confidence in (πιστεύω) any of the Romans except Tiberius. If the general wanted peace, he must send him to them. Accordingly Tiberius was sent to the enemy's camp and partly by persuasion, partly by concession (συγχωρέω) he obtained peace for his countrymen and saved an army of twenty thousand men.
