15. ἐπ᾽ ἄρχοντος δ᾽ Ἀθήνησιν Ἐλπίνου
Ῥωμαῖοι κατέστησαν ὑπάτους Μάρκον Πόπλιον Λαινάτην καὶ Γναῖον
Μαιμίλιον Ἰμπεριῶσον, Ὀλυμπιὰς δ᾽ ἤχθη ἕκτη πρὸς ταῖς ἑκατόν,
καθ᾽ ἣν ἐνίκα στάδιον Πῶρος Μαλιεύς. ἐπὶ δὲ τούτων κατὰ μὲν τὴν
Ἰταλίαν ἠθροίσθη περὶ τὴν Λευκανίαν πλῆθος ἀνθρώπων πανταχόθεν
μιγάδων, πλείστων δὲ δούλων δραπετῶν. οὗτοι δὲ τὸ μὲν πρῶτον
λῃστρικὸν ἐνεστήσαντο βίον καὶ διὰ τὴν ἐν ταῖς ἀγραυλίαις καὶ
καταδρομαῖς συνήθειαν ἔσχον τριβὴν καὶ μελέτην τῶν κατὰ πόλεμον
ἔργων: διὸ καὶ τοῖς πολεμικοῖς ἀγῶσι προτεροῦντες τῶν ἐγχωρίων εἰς
αὔξησιν ἀξιολογωτέραν κατέστησαν.
[2]
καὶ
πρῶτον μὲν Τέριναν πόλιν ἐκπολιορκήσαντες διήρπασαν, ἔπειτα
Ἱππώνιον καὶ Θουρίους καὶ πολλὰς ἄλλας χειρωσάμενοι κοινὴν
πολιτείαν συνέθεντο καὶ προσηγορεύθησαν Βρέττιοι διὰ τὸ πλείστους
εἶναι δούλους: κατὰ γὰρ τὴν τῶν ἐγχωρίων διάλεκτον οἱ δραπέται
βρέττιοι προσηγορεύοντο. τὸ μὲν οὖν τῶν Βρεττίων πλῆθος οὕτω
συνέστη κατὰ τὴν Ἰταλίαν.
