Cn. etiam Pompeium Iuppiter omnipotens abunde monuerat ne cum C. Caesare ultimam belli fortunam experiri contenderet, egresso a Dyrrachio adversa agmini eius fulmina iaciens, examinibus apium signa obscurando, subita tristitia implicatis militum animis, nocturnis totius exercitus terroribus, ab ipsis altaribus hostiarum fuga.
To Cn. Pompeius also Jupiter the all-powerful gave ample warning not to insist on testing the ultimate fortune of war with C. Caesar: flinging thunderbolts opposite his force as he marched out of Dyrrachium, covering the standards with swarms of bees, with the soldiers hearts enveloped in sudden despondency, the whole army prey to nocturnal panics, victims fleeing from the very altars.
