Scipio quoque superior praesidium calliditatis amplexus est: ex Sicilia enim petens Africam, cum e fortissimis peditibus Romanis trecentorum equitum numerum complere vellet neque tam subito eos posset instruere, quod temporis angustiae negabant sagacitate consilii adsecutus est:
The elder Scipio too embraced the help of cunning. As he was heading for Africa from Sicily, he wanted to make up a troop of three hundred horse from the bravest Roman footmen but could not equip them at such short notice. So what the shortage of time denied, he achieved by sagacity of counsel.
