Two Athenian slaves in the Pirus -- either because they favored the Romans or were looking out for their own safety in an emergency -- wrote down everything that took place there, enclosed their writing in leaden balls, and threw them over to the Romans with slings.
Not long after, by night, while the guards on the walls of the Pirus were asleep, the Romans took some ladders from the engines near by, mounted the walls, and killed the guards at that place.
The soldiers, too, believing that this would in fact be the end of their toils, and spurred to their work by the love of glory and the thought that it would be a splendid achievement to conquer such walls as these, pressed forward vigorously.
