Fabius Cunctator, or the delayer, so called from the policy of delay which he opposed to the vigorous movements of Hannibal. |
He was justly compared to Fabius Maximus, distinguished by the epithet of cunctator. |
His apparent inaction was displeasing to a large party, and he was called Cunctator. |
From pursuing this policy he received the surname of cunctator, or the Lingerer. |
Excellenz, it is not cunctator Daun this time, it is fiery Loudon. |
Hence he received that new name, so salutary to the commonwealth, of cunctator, or Delayer. |
