In a short time they murdered two men of Quintus Catius
Aemilianus, an honourable man, whom you all are acquainted with. They did many other things;
they wandered about everywhere armed; they occupied all the fields and roads in an hostile
manner, so that they seemed not obscurely but evidently to be aware of what business they were
equipped for. In the meantime Tullius came to Thurium. Then that worthy father of a family, that noble Asiaticus, that new
farmer and grazier, while he was walking in the farm, notices in this very Popilian field a
moderate-sized building, and a slave of Marcus Tullius, named Philinus.
