Ingensque, ut credebat, hostium terror, ducentae falcatae quadrigae, unicum illarum gentium auxilium, secutae sunt; ex summo temone hastae praefixae ferro eminebant, utrimque a iugo ternos direxerat gladios, inter radios rotarum plura spicula eminebant in adversum, aliae deinde falces summissae e rotarum orbibus haerebant et aliae in terram demissae quidquid obvium concitatis equis fuisset amputaturae.
And as a mighty terror to the foe, he believed, two hundred scythed chariots a supplementary arm peculiar to those nations, followed; from the end of the pole spears tipped with iron projected, and on each side of the yoke he had affixed three swords on each side, between the spokes of the wheels many sharp points projected in opposite directions to each other, and then other scythes fixed in the rim of the wheels pointed upwards, and still others pointed towards the ground, to cut to pieces whatever came in the way of the horses as they were swiftly driven on.
