[2] The ferocious character of the barbarians was displayed in the
funeral of their chief. The unhappy captives were compelled to divert
the stream of the river Busenti'nus, which washed the walls of

which the royal sepulchre was formed: with the body were deposited
much of the wealth, and many of the trophies obtained at Rome.
