Here is the last sentence of 20.19 relating the orders of the Carthaginian legates and their opinion of Hannibal's accomplishments after Cannae in o. o.: [n]ihil certe ultra rei in Italia ab Hannibale gestum. nam ad eum quoque legati ab Carthagine reuocantes in Africam, iis forte diebus quibus ad Magonem uenerunt. "Nothing further of importance (ultra rei) had been accomplished by Hannibal in Italy. The legates summoning him back to Africa (came to Hannibal) by chance on the same days on which they came to Mago."
