Liv. 2.14.1Huic tam pācātae profectiōnī ab urbe rēgis Etrūscī abhorrēns mōs trāditus ab antīquīs ūsque ad nostram aetātem inter cētera sollemnia manet bona Porsinnae rēgis vēndendī.At odds with this so peaceful departure of the Etruscan king from the city is a custom, handed down from the ancients to our own day and still surviving among other formal observances, of selling the goods of King Porsenna. Liv. 2.14.2Cuius orīginem mōris necesse est aut inter bellum nātam esse neque omissam in pāce aut ā mītiōre crēvisse prīncipiō, quam hic prae sē ferat titulus bona hostīliter vēndendī.The origin of this custom must either have arisen during the war and not been dropped in peacetime, or have grown from a milder beginning than this title, of selling goods as from an enemy, suggests. Liv. 2.14.3Proximum vērō est ex iīs, quae trāduntur, Porsinnam discēdentem ab Iāniculō castra opulenta convectō ex propinquīs ac fertilibus Etrūriae arvīs commeātū Rōmānīs dōnō dedisse, inopī tum urbe ab longinquā obsidiōne;The most likely of the accounts handed down is that Porsenna, on leaving the Janiculum, made a gift to the Romans of his camp, rich with supplies brought in from the nearby and fertile fields of Etruria, the city then being in want after the long siege; Liv. 2.14.4ea deinde, nē populō inmissō dīriperentur hostīliter, vēnisse bonaque Porsinnae appellāta, grātiam mūneris magis significant titulō quam auctiōnem fortūnae rēgiae, quae nē in potestāte quidem populī Rōmānī esset.that these were then sold, so that they should not be plundered as from an enemy by the people being let loose on them, and were called the goods of Porsenna, the title indicating gratitude for the gift rather than an auction of the king's possessions, which were not even in the power of the Roman people.
Liv. 2.14.5Omissō Rōmānō bellō Porsinna, nē frūstrā in ea loca exercitus adductus vidērētur, cum parte cōpiārum fīlium Arruntem Arīciam oppugnātum mittit.Having given up the Roman war, Porsenna, so that his army should not seem to have been led into those parts for nothing, sends his son Arruns with part of his forces to attack Aricia. Liv. 2.14.6Prīmō Arīcīnōs rēs necopīnāta perculerat;At first the unexpected event had struck the Aricians with dismay; Liv. 2.14.6arcessīta deinde auxilia et ā Latīnīs populīs et ā Cūmīs tantum speī fēcēre, ut aciē dēcernere audērent.then help summoned both from the Latin peoples and from Cumae gave them so much hope that they dared to decide the matter in pitched battle. Liv. 2.14.6Proeliō initō adeō concitātō impetū sē intulerant Etrūscī, ut funderent ipsō incursū Arīcīnōs;When battle was joined, the Etruscans had charged with such a furious onset that they routed the Aricians by the very attack; Liv. 2.14.7Cūmānae cohortēs arte adversus vim ūsae dēclīnāvēre paululum effūsēque praelātōs hostēs conversīs signīs ab tergō adortae sunt: ita in mediō prope iam victōrēs caesī Etrūscī.the Cumaean cohorts, using skill against force, swerved aside a little and, when the enemy had rushed past in disorder, wheeled about and attacked them from behind: so the Etruscans, all but victorious, were cut down in the middle.
Liv. 2.14.8Pars perexigua duce āmissō, quia nūllum propius perfugium erat, Rōmam inermēs et fortūnā et speciē supplicum dēlātī sunt.A very small part of them, having lost their leader, because there was no nearer refuge, came to Rome without weapons, suppliants both in fortune and in appearance. Liv. 2.14.9Ibi benignē exceptī dīvīsīque in hospitia.There they were kindly received and distributed among people's homes as guests. Liv. 2.14.9Cūrātīs volneribus aliī profectī domōs nūntiī hospitālium beneficiōrum;When their wounds had been tended, some set off home to tell of the kindness of their hosts; Liv. 2.14.9multōs Rōmae hospitum urbisque cāritās tenuit.many were kept at Rome by affection for their hosts and for the city. Liv. 2.14.9Hīs locus ad habitandum datus, quem deinde Tuscum vīcum appellārunt.To these a place was given to live in, which was afterwards called the Etruscan Quarter.
