Primoque impetu pulsa cohorte promptus inter tela occursat fugientibus, increpat signiferos quod inconditis aut desertoribus miles Romanus terga daret; simul excepta vulnera et, quamquam transfosso oculo, adversum os in hostem intendit neque proelium omisit donec desertus suis caderet.
As the cohort broke at the first onset, he darted eagerly among the missiles, to intercept the fugitives, cursing the standard-bearers who could see Roman soldiers turn their backs to a horde of undrilled men or deserters. At the same time, he turned his wounded breast and his face'with one eye pierced'to confront the enemy, and continued to fight until he dropped forsaken by his troop.
