Livy, Periochae 31-35

Titus Livius or Livy (59 BCE - 17 CE): Roman historian, author of the authorized version of the history of the Roman republic.

A large part of Livy's History of Rome since the Foundation is now lost, but fortunately we have an excerpt, called the Periochae, which helps us reconstruct the general scope. This translation was made by Jona Lendering.

[33.8] [195] Hannibal, who had in vain tried to provoke war in Africa and was for this reason denounced by letters from the leaders of an opposing faction to the Romans, who sent envoys to the Carthaginian Senate, fled to king Antiochus [III the Great] of Syria, who was preparing a war against the Romans.
