qui cum Hasdrubalem exercitumque Poenorum in Umbria delesset et ei diceretur Gallos ac Ligures ex acie sine ducibus et signis sparsos ac palantes parva manu opprimi posse, respondit in hoc eis oportere parci, ne hostibus tantae cladis domestici nuntii deessent.
When he had destroyed Hasdrubal and an army of Carthaginians in Umbria, he was told that Gauls and Ligurians from the battle were wandering scattered without leaders or standards and could be annihilated by a small force. He replied that they had better be spared so that the enemy might not lack native reporters of so great a calamity.
