Liv. 3.30.1Secuntur cōnsulēs Q. Minucius, M. Horātius Pulvillus.The next consuls are Quintus Minucius and Marcus Horatius Pulvillus. Liv. 3.30.1Cuius initiō annī cum forīs ōtium esset, domī sēditiōnēs iīdem tribūnī, eadem lēx faciēbat;At the beginning of their year, although there was peace abroad, the same tribunes and the same law were causing discord at home; Liv. 3.30.2ulteriusque ventum foret — adeō exārserant animīs — , nī velut dēditā operā nocturnō impetū Aequōrum Corbiōne āmissum praesidium nūntiātum esset.and matters would have gone further — so inflamed were their passions — had it not been reported, as if by design, that the garrison at Corbio had been lost in a night attack by the Aequi. Liv. 3.30.3Senātum cōnsulēs vocant: iubentur subitārium scrībere exercitum atque in Algidum dūcere.The consuls summon the senate: they are ordered to enrol an emergency army and lead it to Algidus. Liv. 3.30.3Inde positō lēgis certāmine nova dē dīlēctū contentiō orta;Then the struggle over the law was laid aside and a new dispute arose about the levy; Liv. 3.30.4vincēbāturque cōnsulāre imperium tribūniciō auxiliō, cum alius additur terror: Sabīnum exercitum praedātum dēscendisse in agrōs Rōmānōs, inde ad urbem venīre.and the consuls' authority was being overcome by the tribunes' protection, when another alarm is added: a Sabine army had come down into Roman territory to plunder, and was advancing from there on the city.
Liv. 3.30.5Is metus perculit, ut scrībī mīlitem tribūnī sinerent, nōn sine pactiōne tamen, ut, quoniam ipsī quīnquennium ēlūsī essent parvumque id plēbī praesidium foret, decem deinde tribūnī plēbis creārentur.This fear struck them so hard that the tribunes allowed soldiers to be enrolled, though not without a bargain: that, since they themselves had been thwarted for five years and their number was too small a protection for the plebs, ten tribunes of the plebs should be elected from then on. Liv. 3.30.6Expressit hoc necessitās patribus;Necessity wrung this from the senators; Liv. 3.30.6id modo excēpēre, nē posteā eōsdem tribūnōs vidērent.they made only this exception, that they should not see the same tribunes again afterwards. Liv. 3.30.6Tribūnicia comitia, nē id quoque post bellum ut cētera vānum esset, extemplō habita.The tribunes' elections were held at once, so that this too, like everything else, should not come to nothing after the war. Liv. 3.30.7Trīcēsimō sextō annō ā prīmīs tribūnī plēbis decem creātī sunt, bīnī ex singulīs classibus, itaque cautum est ut posteā creārentur.In the thirty-sixth year after the first ones, ten tribunes of the plebs were elected, two from each class, and provision was made that they should be elected in this way thereafter.
Liv. 3.30.8Dīlēctū deinde habitō Minucius contrā Sabīnōs profectus nōn invēnit hostem.Then, when the levy had been held, Minucius set out against the Sabines but did not find the enemy. Liv. 3.30.8Horātius, cum iam Aequī Corbiōne interfectō praesidiō Ortōnam etiam cēpissent, in Algidō pugnat, multōs mortālīs occīdit, fugat hostem nōn ex Algidō modo, sed ā Corbiōne Ortōnāque.Horatius, when the Aequi had already killed the garrison at Corbio and had taken Ortona as well, fights on Algidus, kills a great many men, and routs the enemy not only from Algidus but from Corbio and Ortona. Liv. 3.30.8Corbiōnem etiam dīruit propter prōditum praesidium.He also razed Corbio because it had betrayed the garrison.
