Quorum uirtuti nihil cedit Q. Occius, qui propter fortitudinem Achilles cognominatus est: nam ut reliqua eius opera non exequar, abunde tamen duobus factis, quae relaturus sum, quantus bellator fuerit cognoscetur. Q. Metello consuli legatus in Hispaniam profectus, Celtibericum sub eo bellum gerens, postquam cognouit a quodam gentis huius iuuene se ad dimicandum prouocari—erat autem illi forte prandendi gratia posita mensa—, relicta ea arma sua extra uallum deferri equumque educi clam iussit, ne a Metello inpediretur, et illum Celtiberum insolentissime obequitantem consectatus interemit detractasque corpori eius exuuias ouans laetitia in castra retulit. idem Pyrresum nobilitate ac uirtute omnes Celtiberos praestantem, cum ab eo in certamen pugnae deuocatus esset, succumbere sibi coegit. nec erubuit flagrantissimi pectoris iuuenis gladium ei suum et sagulum utroque exercitu spectante tradere. ille uero etiam petiit ut hospitii iure inter se iuncti essent, quando inter Romanos et Celtiberos pax foret restituta.
