Iamque, fere medium evecti certamine campum, in spatia addebant; nisusque apprendere primos Panchates animosus equos, super altior ire et praecedentem iam iamque ascendere currum pone videbatur, curvatisque ungula prima Callaicum quatiens pulsabat calcibus axem.
And now, as they were nearing the halfway point of the race, they picked up their pace. Panchates, with a determined spirit, strived to catch up with the team ahead of him. He appeared to be rising higher and higher, and with each moment he came closer to mounting upon the chariot in front. The hooves of his prancing forefeet struck and rattled on the car of the Gallician horse.
