Cuius pertinacia cognita, Indi per biduum quidem ac duas noctes cum ostentatione non fiduciae modo, sed etiam victoriae epulati sunt, tympana suo more pulsantes; tertia vero nocte tympanorum quidem strepitus desierat audiri, ceterum ex tota petra faces refulgebant, quas accenderant barbari ut tutior esset  ipsis fuga obscura nocte per invia saxa cursuris.
When his persistence was known, the Indi feasted for two days and two nights with a display, not only of confidence, but even of victory, beating drums according to their custom; but on the third night the noise of the drums had ceased to be heard, but from the whole rock torches gleamed, which the barbarians had lighted in order that their flight might be safer, since they would have to run over pathless rocks  in the darkness of night.
