. 1857 edition.: ...Difficilis tunc in relatu fides, Numantinos et fugavere et fugientes videre Romani. Unde quamvis Scipio, quia praeter spem acciderat, laetatus et gloriatus-esset, tamen ultra bellum adversus eos audendum non esse professus est. Itaque Scipio insistendum inopinatis proventibus censuit, urbem ipsam obsidione conclusit, fossa etiam circumdedit, cujus latitudo pedibus decem, altitudo 302 viginti fuit. Ipsum deinde vallum sudibus praestructum crebris turribus communivit: ut, si qua ab erumpente hoste in eum tentaretur irruptio, jam non quasi obsessor cum obsesso, sed versa vice obsessus cum obsessore pugnaret. Numantia autem in tumulo sita, haud procul a flumine Durio, tria millia passuum ambitu muri amplexabatur; quamvis aliqui adserant eam et parvo situ et sine muro fuisse. Unde credibile est, quod hoc spatii cura alendorum custodiendorumque pecorum, vel etiam exercendi ruris commodo, cum bello premerentur, incluserint, ipsi arcem parvam natura munitam obtinentes. Alioqui tantam paucitatem hominum, tam amplum urbis spatium non munire magis, quam prodere videbatur. Igitur conclusi diu Numantini et fame trucidati deditionem sui obtulerunt, si tolerabilia juberentur, saepe etiam orantes justae pugnac facultatem, ut tamquam viris mori liceret. Ultimo omnes duabus fubito portis eruperunt, larga prius potione usi, non vini, cujus ferax is locus non est, sed succo tritici per artem confecto, quem succum a calefaciendo Celiam vocant. Suscitatur enim igne illa vis germinis madefactae frugis, ac deinde siccatur et post in farinam redacta, molli succo admiscetur, quod fermento sapor austeritatis et calor ebrietatis adjicitur. Hac igitur potione post longam famem recalescentes bello sese obtulerunt. Atrox diu certamen et usque ad periculum Romanorum fuit: iterumque Romani pugnare se adversum Numantinos fugiendo probavissent, nisi sub Scipione pugnassent. Numantini interfectis 1303 suorum fortissimis bello cedunt: compositis tamen ordinibus, nec sicut...
