"Servilius Priscus"
 
"Servilius Priscus"
 
"having given the command to carry the standard of the legions"
 
"cum signa legionum ferri"
 
"against the hostile enemy"
 
"in hostis iussisset"
 
"ordered the standard-bearer"
 
imperavit signiferum
 
"to be executed"
 
occidi
 
"for hesitating to obey"
 
cunctantem
 
-- The rest, cowed by the example
 
quo exemplo perterriti 
 
"advanced against the foe"
 
invserunt hostem
 
 
 
J. L. S.
