Translation: A Roman general. Everything had happened in accordance with his plan and with [only a small] contribution from chance; in the main it was the result of foresight in everything he had handled; for this man was sagacious to a higher degree than any other [Roman], managing not only public enterprises but also his personal affairs so skilfully and intelligently as to exceed all limit. And this despite being so young -- for he was not yet 30 years of age. He was the first[1] to cross into Greece with armies.
