22. Dictator omnes luce prima extra portam Collinam adesse iubet. quibuscumque vires suppetebant ad arma ferenda praesto fuere. [2] signa ex [p. 328] aerario prompta feruntur ad dictatorem. quae cum1 agerentur, hostes in loca altiora concessere. eo dictator agmine infesto subit, nec procul Nomento signis conlatis fudit Etruscas legiones; compulit inde in urbem Fidenas valloque circumdedit; [3] sed neque scalis capi poterat urbs alta et munita neque in obsidione vis ulla erat, quia frumentum non necessitati modo satis sed copiae quoque abunde ex ante convecto sufficiebat. [4] ita expugnandi pariter cogendique ad deditionem spe amissa, dictator in locis propter propinquitatem notis ab aversa2 parte urbis, maxime neglecta quia suapte natura tutissima erat, agere in arcem cuniculum instituit. [5] ipse diversissimis locis subeundo ad moenia quadrifariam diviso exercitu qui alii aliis succederent ad pugnam, continenti die ac nocte proelio ab sensu operis hostes avertebat, [6?] donec perfosso monte3 erecta in arcem via est, intentisque Etruscis ad vanas a certo periculo minas clamor supra caput hostilis captam urbem ostendit.

[7] eo anno C. Furius Paculus4 et M. Geganius Macerinus censores villam publicam in campo Martio probaverunt, ibique primum census populi est actus.
