QVintus Pompeius the Consull subdued the Termeslines in Spaine: with whome verily as also with the Numantines, by occasion of his infirmitie and sicklinesse, he concluded peace. Are∣view and numbring of the citizens was taken by the Censors: wherein were enrolled foure hundred twentie eight thousand,* 1.1 three hundred fortie two polls.

And after he had sitten upon this commission at home in his own house and found his sonne guiltie, he both condemned him and put him away: nay, when afterwards as hee had hanged himselfe, for that was his end, he would not be so much as present at his funerall, but according to his ordinarie manner and custome, sat in his house, attending all clients and commers to him for counsell.

Fabius the Proconsull, after he had managed the warres in Spain right prosperously, mar∣red all with this foule blot and spot of dishonour, in that he contracted a peace with Viriatus, upon even and equal conditions. This Viriatus by a practise complotted by Servilius Caepio, was trecherously mur∣dered by traitors, and of his own armie was much bewailed. At his death he was rung out of this world with a notable peale of * 1.2 farewell, and right honorably enterred: an excellent man, and most brave cap∣taine for the space of thirteene yeeres, during which time he warred with the Romanes, and ever for the most part went away with the winning hand.
