Plin. NH 2.241; Cic. Balb. 34; Val. Max. 1.6.2; 2.7.15; 8.15.11; Plin. NH 35.14; Frontin. Str. 26.2, and 10.2; Sil.

He led a wing at Ilipa, was left in command at Tarraco when Scipio visited Syphax, fought against rebel towns, and carried the expedition to Gades (Polyb. 11.32-33; Liv. 28.14.15-16, 17.11, 21.1, 22.1-35.2; 32.2.5; App. Ib. 25-26, 31-34, 37; and on the treaty with Gades, Cic. Balb. 34, cf. 39). See Polyb. 21.33.8, and above, on Silanus. (Broughton MRR I)
