31. tribuni militum consulari potestate1 quattuor creati sunt, T. Quinctius Poenus ex consulatu C. Furius M. Postumius A. Cornelius Cossus. [2] ex [p. 358] his Cossus praefuit urbi, tres dilectu habito profecti2 sunt Veios documentoque fuere quam plurium imperium bello inutile esset. tendendo ad sua quisque consilia, cum aliud alii videretur, aperuerunt ad occasionem locum hosti; [3] incertam namque aciem, signum aliis dari, receptui aliis cani iubentibus, invasere opportune Veientes. castra propinqua turbatos ac terga dantes accepere; [4] plus itaque ignominiae quam cladis est acceptum. maesta civitas fuit vinci insueta; odisse tribunos, poscere dictatorem: in eo verti spes civitatis. et cum ibi quoque religio obstaret ne non posset nisi ab consule dici dictator, augures consulti eam religionem exemere. [5] A. Cornelius dictatorem Mam. Aemilium3 dixit et ipse ab eo magister equitum est dictus; adeo, simul fortuna civitatis virtute vera eguit, nihil censoria animadversio effecit quo minus regimen rerum ex notata indigne domo peteretur.

[7] uni Fidenatium populo rebellare placuit; et tamquam nisi ab scelere bellum ordiri nefas esset, sicut legatorum ante, ita tum [p. 360] novorum colonorum caede imbutis armis Veientibus4 sese coniungunt. [8] consultare inde principes duorum populorum Veios an Fidenas sedem belli caperent. Fidenae visae opportuniores; itaque traiecto Tiberi Veientes Fidenas transtulerunt bellum. [9] Romae terror ingens erat. accito exercitu a Veiis, eoque ipso ab re male gesta perculso castra locantur ante portam Collinam, et in muris armati dispositi, et iustitium in foro tabernaeque clausae fiuntque omnia castris quam urbi similiora ,
