An Omission

Ammianus Marcellinus with an English Translation by John C. Rolfe, Vol. III, rev. ed. (1952; rpt. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1986 = Loeb Classical Library, 331), pp. 4-5 (27.1.4):
cunctis metu compulsis in fugam, cum Severianum vidissent equo deturbatum, missilique telo perfossum.

And when they Severianus, who had been thrown from his horse and pierced through by a missile, they were all terrified and put to flight.
In the translation, insert "saw" before "Severianus". The mistake persists in the Digital Loeb Classical Library.
