81.23 In instructing the young men to fight boldly, he said that ofttimes talk is better than the sword and the voice better than the hand to rout and bewilder the enemy. Ibid. chap. i. (336 E); cf. also Plutarch’s Life of Coriolanus, chap. viii. (216 F); Life of M. Cato, chap. x. (241 F).

81.24 When he was waging war against the peoples living by the river Baetis, In 195 B.C. in Spain. he was put in great peril by the vast numbers of the enemy. The Celtiberians were ready and willing to come to his aid for forty thousand pounds, but the other Romans were against agreeing to pay barbarian men. Cato said they were all wrong; for if they were victorious, the payment would come not from themselves, but from the enemy; and if they were vanquished there would be no debtors and no creditors. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of M. Cato, chap. x. (341 F).

81.25 He captured cities more in number, as he says, than the days he spent among the enemy, yet he himself took nothing from the enemy’s country beyond what he ate and drank. Ibid. chap. x. (342 A).

81.26 He distributed to each soldier a pound of silver, saying it was better that many should return from the campaign with silver than a few with gold. For the officials, he said, ought to accept no other increase in the provinces except the increase of their repute.f

81.27 He had five persons to wait upon him in the campaign, one of whom bought three of the captives. But when he discovered that Cato knew of it, he did not wait to come before his master, but hanged himself. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of M. Cato, chap. x. (342 B).
