Huskey 1 Born digital. Erat copiis pedestribus multo firmior Marcellus. Habebat enim ueteranas multisque proeliis expertas legiones. Cassius fidei magis quam uirtuti legionum confidebat. Itaque cum castra castris collata (cf. 61.4) castris co(n/l)locata (ex 61.5 collocatis? u. et ad BAfr 68.2 conlatis) nisi mauis contra castris collocata (cf. BAfr 56.1) essent et Marcellus locum idoneum castello cepisset quo prohibere aqua Cassianos posset, Longinus, ueritus ne genere quodam obsidionis clauderetur in regionibus alienis sibique infestis, noctu silentio ex castris proficiscitur celerique itinere Vliam (de oppidi nomine u. Plin. Nat. 3.10.2, D.C. 43.32.3–6) ullam contendit quod sibi fidele esse oppidum credebat. Ibi adeo coniuncta ponit moenibus castra ut et loci natura—namque Vlia (u. supra) ulla in edito monte posita est (cf. BG 7.14.9 et, de coniunctionibus, 5.57.1) ut est loci natura namque ulla in edito monte posita est ut ut loci est natura namque ulla in edito monte posita est ut —et ipsa munitione urbis undique ab oppugnatione ad oppugnatione ad oppugnationem tutus esset. Hunc Marcellus insequitur et quam proxime potest Vliam (u. supra) ullam castra castris confert. Locorumque cognita natura quo maxime rem deducere uolebat necessitate est adductus (cf. 71.2 et u. ad 35.2 et 57.5) edoctus eductus deductus (cf. BHisp 41.6 necessario) nisi mauis coactus (cf. Hirt. 8.43.5) , ut neque confligeret confligere —cuius si rei facultas esset resistere incitatis militibus non poterat—neque uagari Cassium latius et M supra lineam (cf. BG 5.19.2) longius pateretur ne plures ciuitates ea paterentur quae passi pass(a)e erant Cordubenses. Castellis idoneis locis collocatis operibusque in circuitu oppidi continuatis Vliam (u. supra) ullam Cassiumque munitionibus clausit. Quae prius quam perficerentur Longinus omnem suum equitatum emisit. Quem sibi usui (cf. BC 2.15.3) Marcus (per compendium) sibi usu (de orthographia u. Gel. 4.16.8–9) magno sibi usui fortasse recte (cf. BG 4.20.2 etc. et BC 2.17.4 magna ... magna) fore credebat si pabulari frumentarique Marcellum non pateretur, magno autem fore impedimento si clausus obsidione et inutilis necessarium consumeret frumentum.
