Advertit ea res Vespasiani animum ut vexillarios e
legionibus ducemque Virdium Geminum spectatae militiae
deligeret. ille incompositum et praedae cupidine vagum hostem adortus coegit in navis; effectisque raptim Liburnicis
adsequitur Anicetum in ostio fluminis Chobi, tutum sub Sedochezorum regis auxilio, quem pecunia donisque ad societatem perpulerat. ac primo rex minis armisque supplicem
tueri: postquam merces proditionis aut bellum ostendebatur,
fluxa, ut est barbaris, fide pactus Aniceti exitium perfugas
tradidit, belloque servili finis impositus.
Laetum ea victoria Vespasianum, cunctis super vota
fluentibus, Cremonensis proelii nuntius in Aegypto adsequitur. eo properantius Alexandriam pergit, ut fractos Vitellii
exercitus urbemque externae opis indigam fame urgeret.
namque et Africam, eodem latere sitam, terra marique invadere parabat, clausis annonae subsidiis inopiam ac discordiam hosti facturus.
