Tum Sulla compositis transmarinis rebus, cum ad eum primum omnium Romanorum legati Parthorum venissent, et in iis quidam magi ex notis corporis respondissent caelestem eius vitam et memoriam futuram, revectus in Italiam haud plura quam triginta armatorum milia adversum ducenta amplius hostium exposuit Brundusii.
Sulla had now settled affairs across the sea. There came to him ambassadors of the Parthians'he was the first of the Romans to be so honoured'and among them some wise men who, from the marks on his body, foretold that his life and his fame would be worthy of a god. Returning to Italy he landed at Brundisium,a having not more than thirty thousand men to face more than two hundred thousand of the enemy.
