Atque ut imperatoribus militis gloriosum spiritum subnectam, Scipionem, dona militaria iis qui strenuam operam ediderant dividentem, T. Labienus ut forti equiti aureas armillas tribueret admonuit, eoque se negante id factu<ru>m, ne castrensis honos in eo qui paulo ante servisset violaretur, ipse ex praeda Gallica aurum equiti largitus est.
To subjoin to the generals the glory-loving spirit of a soldier: when Scipio was distributing military awards among those who had distinguished themselves, T. Labienus told him that he should give golden bracelets to a brave trooper. When Scipio refused on the ground that a military honour should not be degraded in the person of a man who had recently been a slave, Labienus gave the trooper gold from the Gallic booty.
