Subsequent to these events the Romans portioned out in allotments the territory of the Veians, giving each holder four plethra, but according to other accounts, twenty-eight.1 The Romans were at war with the Aequi and took by storm the city of Liphlus2; and they began war upon the people of Velitrae, who had revolted. Satricum also revolted from the Romans; and they dispatched a colony to Cercii.

1 A plethrum is 10,000 sq. ft., slightly less than one-quarter of an acre.

2 Otherwise unknown.
