Neque Maroboduus iactantia sui aut probris in hostem abstinebat, sed Inguiomerum tenens illo in corpore decus omne Cheruscorum, illius consiliis gesta quae prospere ceciderint testabatur: vaecordem Arminium et rerum nescium alienam gloriam in se trahere, quoniam tres vagas legiones et ducem fraudis ignarum perfidia deceperit, magna cum clade Germaniae et ignominia sua, cum coniunx, cum filius eius servitium adhuc tolerent.
Nor could Maroboduus refrain from a panegyric upon himself and an invective against the enemy, but holding Inguiomerus by the hand, There was the one person, he declared, in whom resided the whole glory of the Cherusci'by whose counsels had been won whatsoever success they had achieved! Arminius was a fool, a novice in affairs, who usurped another mans fame, because by an act of perfidy he had entrapped three straggling legions and a commander who feared no fraud: a feat disastrous to Germany and disgraceful to its author, whose wife and child were even yet supporting their bondage.
