continuo adversis Tyrrhenus et acer Aconteus conixi incurrunt hastis primique ruinam dant sonitu ingenti perfractaque quadripedantum pectora pectoribus rumpunt; excussus Aconteus fulminis in morem aut tormento ponderis acti praecipitat longe et vitam dispergit in auras.
At once Tyrrhenus and fierce Aconteus charge each other full force with spears, and are first to go down with a mighty crash, breaking and shattering their horses as they collide breast to breast. Flung off like a thunderbolt or a stone shot from a catapult, Aconteus is hurled headlong far away, and scatters his life into the air.
