Liv. 2.25.1Proximā inde nocte Volscī discordiā Rōmānā frētī, sī qua nocturna trānsitiō prōditiōve fierī posset, temptant castra.Then on the following night the Volsci, relying on Roman discord, make an attempt on the camp, in case any desertion or betrayal could be brought about by night. Liv. 2.25.1Sēnsēre vigilēs, excitātus exercitus, signō datō concursum est ad arma;The sentries noticed, the army was roused, the signal was given and they ran to arms; Liv. 2.25.2ita frūstrā id inceptum Volscīs fuit;so that attempt came to nothing for the Volsci; Liv. 2.25.2relicum noctis utrimque quiētī datum.the rest of the night was given to rest on both sides. Liv. 2.25.2Posterō diē prīmā lūce Volscī fossīs replētīs vallum invādunt.The next day at first light the Volsci filled in the ditches and attacked the rampart. Liv. 2.25.3Iamque ab omnī parte mūnīmenta vellēbantur, cum cōnsul, quamquam cūnctī undique, et nexī ante omnēs, ut signum daret, clāmābant, experiendī animōs mīlitum causā parumper morātus, postquam satis appārēbat ingēns ardor, datō tandem ad ērumpendum signō mīlitem avidum certāminis ēmittit.And already the fortifications were being torn down on every side, when the consul, although everyone everywhere, and the bondsmen above all, were shouting for him to give the signal, waited a little to test the soldiers' spirit, and when their great ardour was plain enough, at last gave the signal for a sortie and sends out his men, eager for the fight.
Liv. 2.25.4Prīmō statim incursū pulsī hostēs;At the very first charge the enemy were routed; Liv. 2.25.4fugientibus, quoad īnsequī pedēs potuit, terga caesa;as they fled, they were cut down from behind as far as the infantry could pursue; Liv. 2.25.4eques ūsque ad castra pavidōs ēgit.the cavalry drove them in panic right up to their camp. Liv. 2.25.4Mox ipsa castra legiōnibus circumdatīs, cum Volscōs inde etiam pavor expulisset, capta dīreptaque.Soon the camp itself was surrounded by the legions and, since panic had driven the Volsci out even from there, was taken and plundered. Liv. 2.25.5Posterō diē ad Suessam Pōmētiam, quō cōnfūgerant hostēs, legiōnibus ductīs, intrā paucōs diēs oppidum capitur, captum praedae datum.The next day the legions were led to Suessa Pometia, where the enemy had fled, and within a few days the town is taken and, once taken, given over to plunder. Liv. 2.25.6Inde paulum recreātus egēns mīles.By this the needy soldiers were somewhat relieved. Liv. 2.25.6Cōnsul cum maximā glōriā suā victōrem exercitum Rōmam redūcit.The consul leads his victorious army back to Rome with the greatest glory for himself.
Liv. 2.25.6Dēcēdentem Rōmam Ecetrānōrum Volscōrum lēgātī, rēbus suīs timentēs post Pōmētiam captam, adeunt.As he was leaving for Rome, envoys of the Ecetran Volsci, fearing for their own position after the capture of Pometia, approach him. Liv. 2.25.6Hīs ex senātūs cōnsultō data pāx, ager adēmptus.By decree of the senate they were granted peace, but their land was taken from them.
