Liv. 3.3.1Relictō itaque castrīs praesidiō ēgressī tantō cum tumultū invāsēre fīnēs Rōmānōs, ut ad urbem quoque terrōrem pertulerint.So, leaving a garrison in the camp, they went out and invaded Roman territory with such tumult that they carried terror even to the city. Liv. 3.3.2Necopīnāta etiam rēs plūs trepidātiōnis fēcit, quod nihil minus, quam nē victus ac prope in castrīs obsessus hostis memor populātiōnis esset, timērī poterat agrestēsque pavidī incidentēs portīs nōn populātiōnem nec praedōnum parvās manūs, sed omnia vānō augentēs timōre exercitūs et legiōnēs adesse hostium et īnfestō agmine ruere ad urbem clāmābant.The unexpectedness of the thing, too, caused more alarm, because nothing could have been less feared than that a defeated enemy, almost besieged in his own camp, should be thinking of plunder; and the country people, rushing in panic to the gates, were shouting not that it was a raid or small bands of plunderers, but, magnifying everything with groundless fear, that armies and legions of the enemy were at hand and were rushing on the city in hostile column. Liv. 3.3.4Ab hīs proxumī audīta incerta eōque vāniōra ferre ad aliōs.Those nearest them passed on to others what they had heard, uncertain and therefore all the more exaggerated.
Liv. 3.3.4Cursus clamorque vocantium ad arma haud multum ā pavōre captae urbis abesse.The running and the shouting of men calling to arms were not far from the panic of a captured city. Liv. 3.3.5Forte ab Algidō Quīnctius cōnsul redierat Rōmam.As it happened, the consul Quinctius had returned to Rome from Algidus. Liv. 3.3.5Id remedium timōrī fuit;That was a remedy for the fear; Liv. 3.3.5tumultūque sēdātō victōs timērī increpāns hostēs praesidia portīs inposuit.and when the tumult had been quieted, rebuking them for fearing a beaten enemy, he placed guards at the gates. Liv. 3.3.6Vocātō Dein senātū cum ex auctōritāte patrum iūstitiō indictō profectus ad tūtandōs fīnēs esset Q. Servīliō praefectō urbis relictō, hostem in agrīs nōn invēnit.Then, having summoned the senate, when, on the authority of the senators, he had proclaimed a suspension of public business and set out to protect the borders, leaving Quintus Servilius as prefect of the city, he did not find the enemy in the fields. Liv. 3.3.7Ab alterō cōnsule rēs gesta ēgregiē est;By the other consul the matter was handled outstandingly; Liv. 3.3.8quī, quā ventūrum hostem sciēbat, gravem praedā eōque inpedītiōre agmine incēdentem adgressus fūnestam populātiōnem fēcit.knowing where the enemy would come, he attacked them as they marched along, weighed down with plunder and therefore in a more encumbered column, and made their raid a deadly one.
Liv. 3.3.8Paucī hostium ēvāsēre ex īnsidiīs;Few of the enemy escaped from the ambush; Liv. 3.3.8praeda omnis recepta est.all the plunder was recovered. Liv. 3.3.8Sīc fīnem iūstitiō, quod quadrīduum fuit, reditus Quīnctī cōnsulis in urbem fēcit.So the return of the consul Quinctius to the city put an end to the suspension of business, which lasted four days. Liv. 3.3.8Cēnsus deinde āctus et conditum ab Quīnctiō lūstrum.Then a census was held and the purification ceremony was completed by Quinctius. Liv. 3.3.9Cēnsa cīvium capita centum quattuor mīlia septingenta quattuordecim dīcuntur praeter orbōs orbāsque.The number of citizens counted is said to have been one hundred and four thousand seven hundred and fourteen, besides orphan boys and girls. Liv. 3.3.10In Aequīs nihil deinde memorābile āctum.Among the Aequi nothing memorable was done after that. Liv. 3.3.10In oppida sua sē recēpēre ūrī sua populārīque passī.They withdrew into their towns, allowing their property to be burned and plundered. Liv. 3.3.10Cōnsul, cum aliquotiēns per omnem hostium agrum īnfestō agmine populābundus īsset, cum ingentī laude praedāque Rōmam rediit.The consul, after marching several times in hostile column through the whole of the enemy's territory, laying it waste, returned to Rome with great glory and plunder.
