Igitur simul consul ex multis de hostium adventu cognovit et ipsi hostes aderant, et priusquam exercitus aut instrui aut sarcinas conligere, denique antequam signum aut imperium ullum accipere quivit, equites Mauri atque Gaetuli, non acie neque ullo more proeli sed catervatim, uti quosque fors conglobaverat, in nostros incurrunt.
Therefore, at the very same moment the consul learned of the enemys arrival from many reports, and the enemy themselves were upon them; and before the army could be drawn up or collect its baggage, in fact before it could receive any signal or command, the Moorish and Gaetulian cavalry rushed upon our forces; they did so not in battle array or after the fashion of a proper battle but in swarms, just as chance had brought them together.
