miser hinc vestigia retro dum rapit et molem subducto corpore vitat intorti Bibulus saxi atque in terga refertur, strage super lapsus socium, qua fibula morsus loricae crebro laxata resolverat ictu, accepit lateri penitusque in viscera adegit, exstabat fixo quod forte cadavere, ferrum.
Unhappy Bibulus was stepping quickly backwards and swerving aside, to elude a huge stone hurled at him, when he stumbled on a heap of Roman corpses in his movement to the rear; and an iron point, which happened to project from a dead body, entered his side where many a blow had loosened the clasps of the buckle on his corslet; and his fall drove the weapon home to his vitals.
