Praecipuus erat labor eorum qui humeris onera portabant; quippe cum semetipsos regere non possent, in rapidos gurgites incommodo onere auferebantur, et dum sua quisque spolia consequi studet, maior inter ipsos quam cum amni orta luctatio est, cumulique sarcinarum passim fluitantes plerosque perculerant.
The toil of those was the greatest who carried burdens upon their shoulders; for since they could not direct their own course they were carried away by the unmanageable burden into swift and deep places, and while each man was striving to save his own spoils, a greater struggle arose among themselves than with the river, and the heaps of packs floating here and there had upset many of them.
