qui postquam, effusis urgens vestigia frenis Poenorum, iuxta galeam atque insigne perempti agnovit spolium Pauli (puer illa gerebat, non parvo laetus ductoris munere, Cinyps, dilectus Poeno Cinyps, quo gratior ora non fuit ac nulla nituit plus fronte decoris; quale micat semperque novum est quod Tiburis aura pascit ebur, vel qui miro candoris honore lucet in aure lapis rubris advectus ab undis).
He was riding at full gallop on the heels of the retreating enemy, when he recognized the helmet and plume taken from Paulus after death. The wearer was young Cinyps, proud of this great gift from his general. Cinyps was the favourite of Hannibal, and the comeliest of all the host; and no face was radiant with more charm than his, like ivory which remains ever new and bright in the air of Tibur, or the jewel brought from the Red Sea which glitters in a ladys ear and dazzles the eye with its purity.
