Ne Apolloniatae quidem paenitentiam egerunt, quod cum bello Illyrico pressi Epidamnios ut sibi opem ferrent orassent, atque illi flumen vicinum moenibus suis nomine Aeanta in adiutorium eorum sese mittere dixissent, accipimus quod datur responderunt, eique primum in acie locum perinde ac duci adsignarunt: ex insperato enim superatis hostibus, successum suum omini acceptum referentes, et tunc Aeanti ut deo immolaverunt et deinceps omnibus proeliis duce uti instituerunt
Nor yet were the men of Apollonia sorry. Hard pressed in war with the Illyrians, they begged the Epidamnians to come to their aid. These said that they were sending a river near their walls called Aeas to Apollonias assistance. We accept what is given, answered the Apolloniates, and assigned Aeas as though their general first place in the line. Contrary to expectation the enemy were defeated. Attributing their success to the omen, they made sacrifice then to Aeas as a god and from that time forward regularly made him their general in all their battles.
