Igitur lacessentibus Batavis ferocissimo cuique nostrorum coeptum certamen, deinde orta trepidatio, cum praealtis paludibus arma equi haurirentur. Germani notis vadis
persultabant, omissa plerumque fronte latera ac terga circumvenientes. neque ut in pedestri acie comminus certabatur, sed
tamquam navali pugna vagi inter undas aut, si quid stabile
occurrebat, totis illic corporibus nitentes, vulnerati cum integris, periti nandi cum ignaris in mutuam perniciem implicabantur. minor tamen quam pro tumultu caedes, quia non ausi
egredi paludem Germani in castra rediere. eius proelii eventus utrumque ducem diversis animi motibus ad maturandum
summae rei discrimen erexit. Civilis instare fortunae, Cerialis abolere ignominiam: Germani prosperis feroces, Romanos pudor excitaverat. nox apud barbaros cantu aut clamore, nostris per iram et minas acta.
