Phlegraei legere sinus, Misenus et ardens ore giganteo sedes Ithacesia Bai; non Prochyte, non ardentem sortita Typhoea Inarime, non antiqui saxosa Telonis insula, nec parvis aberat Calatia muris; Surrentum et pauper sulci cerealis Abella; in primis Capua, heu rebus servare serenis inconsulta modum et pravo peritura tumore! Laetos rectoris formabat Scipio bello.
There were the chosen men from the Phlegraean bays rich in sulphur,a and from Misenus, and from the seat of Baius the Ithacan with its mighty red-hot crater. Prochyte was not absent, nor Inarime, the place appointed for ever-burning Typhoeus,b nor the rocky islec of ancient Telo, nor Calatia of the little walls. Surrentum was there, and Abella ill-provided with corn-fields; and Capua above all; but she, alas, knew not how to observe moderation in prosperity, and her wicked pride went before a fall. Scipio trained the Campanians for war, and they were proud of their leader.
