Book 9.581-589
The son of Arcens stands near the battle in a luxurious cloak. Mezentius attacks him with a sling.
Stabat in egregiis Arcentis filius armis,
581
pictus acu chlamydem et ferrugine clarus Hibera,
582
insignis facie, genitor quem miserat Arcens,
583
eductum Martis luco Symaethia circum
584
flumina, pinguis ubi et placabilis ara Palici:
585
stridentem fundam positis Mezentius hastis
586
ipse ter adducta circum caput egit habena
587
et media adversi liquefacto tempora plumbo
588
diffidit ac multa porrectum extendit harena.
