| | Eutropius: Abridgement of Roman History, Book 5 |
 | | Publius Rutilius, one of the consuls, Caepio, a nobleman in the flower of his age, and Porcius Cato, another consul, were killed in it. |
 | | But on a change of consuls at Rome, and the election of Marius, the son of Marius, and Papirius Carbo to the consulate, Sylla again came to battle with Marius the younger, and killed fifteen thousand men, with the loss of only four hundred. |
 | | Cnaeus Carbo also, the other consul, fled from Ariminum into Sicily, and was there slain by Cnaeus Pompey; to whom, although but a young man, being only one-and-twenty years of age, Sylla, perceiving his activity, had committed the management of his troops, so that he was accounted second only to Sylla himself. |
