[Joannes Zonaras, [http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Cassius_Dio/14*.html#Zon.9.1 9.1.] ] He betrayed the his fellow native hostages at Saguntum, who were in the power of the Carthaginians, to the Roman generals Publius Cornelius Scipio and Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio Calvus, after deceiving Bostar, the Carthaginian commander.
