Acerrime cum Scipione Africano Macedonicus dissenserat, eorumque ab aemulatione virtutis profecta concertatio ad graves testatasque inimicitias progressa fuerat: sed tamen, cum interemptum Scipionem conclamari audisset, in publicum se proripuit maestoque vultu et voce confusa concurrite, concurrite inquit, cives! moenia nostrae urbis eversa sunt: Scipioni enim Africano intra suos penates quiescenti nefaria vis allata est.
Macedonicus had quarrelled bitterly with Scipio Africanus and their contention, proceeding from rivalry in merit, had advanced to serious and attested enmity. Nevertheless, when he heard that Scipio had been killed and was being bewailed, he dashed into public and with sorrowing face and choking voice, Assemble, citizens, assemble; he cried, the walls of our city have been toppled. Villainous hands have been laid on Scipio Africanus as he slept in his home.
