Lixae permixti cum militibus diu noctuque vagabantur et palantes agros vastare, villas expugnare, pecoris et mancipiorum praedas certantes agere eaque mutare cum mercatoribus vino advecticio et aliis talibus; praeterea frumentum publice datum vendere, panem in dies mercari: postremo quaecumque dici aut fingi queunt ignaviae luxuriaeque probra, <ea> in illo exercitu cuncta fuere et alia amplius.
Camp followers mingled with soldiers, and together they ranged about day and night, and in their wanderings laid waste the fields, stormed farmhouses, vied with one another in carrying off booty in the form of cattle and slaves, and bartered their plunder with traders for imported wine and other such goods. They even sold the grain allotted them by the state and purchased bread daily. In short, whatever disgraceful acts arising from idleness and extravagance can be mentioned or imagined, they were all to be found in that army and others besides.
