There, bearing on his shoulders, as the saying is, the burden of a flood of wars, he was distracted by manifold cares'how the soldiers who had abandoned their usual posts might be taken back to danger-points, how he might scatter the tribes that had conspired to the hurt of the Roman cause, and how to see to it that food should not fail his army as it was about to range in different directions.
