Classicam Acilii gloriam terrestri laude M. Caesius Scaeva, eiusdem imperatoris centurio, subsecutus est: cum pro castello enim, cui praepositus erat, dimicaret, Gnaeique Pompeii praefectus Iustuleius summo studio et magno militum numero ad id capiendum niteretur, omnes qui propius accesserant interemit, ac sine ullo regressu pedis pugnans super ingentem stragem, quam ipse fecerat, corruit.
The naval glory of Acilius is followed with terrestrial renown by M. Caesius Scaeva, a Centurion of the same general. He was fighting in front of the fort of which he was in command, while Justuleius, a Prefect of Cn. Pompeius, was striving might and main with a large number of soldiers to take the position. Scaeva killed all who came near and fighting without a single backward step fell on top of a huge heap of dead that he had made himself.
