Hist. 2.29.1Haud proinde id damnum Vitelliānōs in metum compulit quam ad modestiam composuit: nec sōlum apud Caecīnam, quī culpam in mīlitem cōnferēbat sēditiōnī magis quam proeliō parātum: Fabiī quoque Valentis cōpiae (iam enim Tīcīnum vēnerat) positō hostium contemptū et reciperandī decoris cupīdine reverentius et aequālius ducī pārēbant.This loss did not so much drive the Vitellians to fear as bring them to discipline: and not only with Caecina, who laid the blame on his soldiers as readier for mutiny than for battle; the forces of Fabius Valens too (for he had now reached Ticinum), having put aside their contempt for the enemy and in their desire to recover their honour, obeyed their general more respectfully and more evenly. Hist. 2.29.1Gravis aliōquīn sēditiō Exarserat, quam altiōre initiō (neque enim rērum ā Caecīnā gestārum ōrdinem interrumpī oportuerat) repetam.Besides this, a serious mutiny had flared up, which I shall relate going back to an earlier point (for it was not right to interrupt the sequence of Caecina's operations). Hist. 2.29.1Cohortēs Batāvōrum, quās bellō Nerōnis ā quartā decimā legiōne dīgressās, cum Britanniam peterent, audītō Vitelliī mōtū in cīvitāte Lingonum Fabiō Valentī adiūnctās rettulimus, superbē agēbant, ut cuiusque legiōnis tentōria accessissent, coercitōs ā sē quārtadecimānōs, ablātam Nerōnī Ītaliam atque omnem bellī fortūnam in ipsōrum manū sitam iactantēs.The Batavian cohorts, which, as we have related, had separated from the Fourteenth Legion during Nero's war, and while making for Britain, on hearing of Vitellius' rising, had joined Fabius Valens in the state of the Lingones, were behaving arrogantly: whenever they came to the tents of any legion, they boasted that the men of the Fourteenth had been held in check by them, that Italy had been taken from Nero, and that the whole fortune of the war lay in their own hands.
Hist. 2.29.1Contumēliōsum id mīlitibus, acerbum ducī;This was insulting to the soldiers and galling to the general; Hist. 2.29.1corrupta iūrgiīs aut rixīs disciplīna;discipline was corrupted by quarrels or brawls; Hist. 2.29.1ad postrēmum Valēns ē petulantiā etiam perfidiam suspectābat.in the end Valens began to suspect treachery too from their insolence.
