ἄλογα καὶ ἄτολμα
θρέμματα σωτηρίας ἀρχὴν παρέσχε, καὶ τοὺς μεγάλους ἐκείνους ἀριστεῖς καὶ
ἡγεμόνας Μαλλίους καὶ Σερουίους 1 καὶ Ποστουμίους καὶ Παπιρίους τῶν
αὖθις οἴκων γενάρχας, παρ᾽ οὐδὲν ἥκοντας
ἀπολέσθαι, χῆνες ἀνέστησαν ὑπὲρ τοῦ πατρίου θεοῦ 2 καὶ τῆς πατρίδος
ἀμύνεσθαι; εἰ δέ, ὥσπερ Πολύβιος ἐν τῇ δευτέρᾳ βίβλῳ περὶ τῶν τότε
τὴν Ῥωμαίων πόλιν καταλαβόντων ἱστόρηκε Κελτῶν, ἀληθές ἐστιν ὅτι
προσπεσούσης αὐτοῖς ἀγγελίας φθείρεσθαι τὰ
οἴκοι, τῶν προσοίκων βαρβάρων ἐμβεβληκότων εἰς τὴν χώραν καὶ κρατούντων,
ἀνεχώρησαν
