Et quanti aestimandum est, dum Asiam subigimus, in alio quodam modo orbe tropaea statuere et quae tam longo intervallo Natura videtur diremisse  una victoria subito committere? At, hercule, si paulum cessaverimus, in tergis nostris Scythae haerebunt.
And how highly must it be regarded, while we are subjugating Asia, to set up trophies in what might be called another world, and suddenly to join in one victory places which Nature seems to have separated by so  great a space? But, by Heaven! if we delay even a short time, the Scythians will be close at our backs.
