Translation
[Meaning they] having cut off. "Having intercepted the army in the narrow and difficult ravines, they compelled them to accept disgraceful terms."1
And Josephus [writes]: "having pursued the enemy they intercept them in a ravine and kill them all."2
And elsewhere: "for the place was pleasing to both sides, to the one because it was where they had intercepted the Romans and released them under the terms of a treaty, [and hence the place served] as a sign of what services had been done."3
