I have no less than a hundred sestertia upon Tetraides.
At that thought, and seeing that, his strength not being equal to the endurance of the Roman, everything depended on a sudden and desperate effort, he threw himself fiercely on Eumolpus; the Roman warily retreated Lydon thrust again Eumolpus drew himself aside the sword grazed his cuirass Lydon's breast was exposed the Roman plunged his sword through the joints of the armor, not meaning, however, to inflict a deep wound; Lydon, weak and exhausted, fell forward, fell right on the point: it passed through and through, even to the back.
Tetraides struck it was as the blow of a smith on a vise; Lydon sank suddenly on one knee the blow passed over his head. Not so harmless was Lydon's retaliation; he quickly sprang to his feet, and aimed his cestus full on the broad chest of his antagonist. Tetraides reeled the populace shouted....
Ha, ha! see how he rallies! That was a home stroke: he has cut open Lydon's shoulder. A Tetraides! a Tetraides!" "But Lydon is not disheartened. By Pollux! how well he keeps his temper! See how dextrously he avoids those hammer-like hands! dodging now here, now there circling round and round. Ah, poor Lydon! he has it again." "Three to one still on Tetraides! What say you, Lepidus?"

'Well, nine sestertia to three be it so! What! again, Lydon? He stops he gasps for breath. By the gods, he is down. No he is again on his legs. Brave Lydon! Tetraides is encouraged he laughs loud he rushes on him. 'Fool success blinds him he should be cautious. Lydon's eye is like the lynx's, said Clodius, between his teeth. 'Ha, Clodius! saw you that?
