§14.117.1ταπεινῶν δʼ ὄντων τῶν Ῥωμαίων διὰ τὴν προειρημένην συμφοράν, οἱ Οὐόλσκοι πρὸς αὐτοὺς πόλεμον ἐξήνεγκαν.
While the Romans were weakened by the aforementioned disaster, the Volsci waged war against them.
οἱ μὲν οὖν χιλίαρχοι τῶν Ῥωμαίων καταγράψαντες στρατιώτας, καὶ προαγαγόντες τὴν δύναμιν εἰς ὕπαιθρον, ἐν τῷ καλουμένῳ Μαρκίῳ κατεστρατοπέδευσαν, ἀπέχοντες ἀπὸ Ῥώμης σταδίους διακοσίους.
Therefore, the military tribunes of the Romans, having enrolled soldiers and led the force out into the open country, encamped at the place called Marcium, which was two hundred stades distant from Rome.
§14.117.2τῶν δὲ Οὐόλσκων μετὰ μείζονος στρατιᾶς ἀντικαθημένων καὶ τῇ παρεμβολῇ προσβαλλόντων, οἱ κατὰ τὴν Ῥώμην φοβηθέντες ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐν τῷ στρατοπέδῳ, κατέστησαν αὐτοκράτορα μὲν Μάρκον Φούριον
Since the Volsci were encamped opposite them with a larger army and were attacking the camp, those in Rome, fearing for those in the camp, appointed Marcus Furius as dictator.
§14.117.3οὗτοι δὲ πάντας τοὺς ἐν ἡλικίᾳ καθοπλίσαντες νυκτὸς ἐξῆλθον, καὶ καταλαβόντες ἅμʼ ἡμέρᾳ τοὺς Οὐόλσκους τῇ παρεμβολῇ προσμαχομένους, ἐπιφανέντες κατὰ νώτου ῥᾳδίως ἐτρέψαντο.
And these, having armed all those of military age, went out by night, and having come upon the Volsci at daybreak as they were fighting against the camp, they appeared in their rear and easily routed them.
ἐξελθόντων δὲ καὶ τῶν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, εἰς μέσον ἀποληφθέντες οἱ Οὐόλσκοι σχεδὸν ἅπαντες κατεκόπησαν.
Since those in the camp also sallied forth, the Volsci, being caught in the middle, were almost all cut to pieces.
διόπερ τὸν ἔμπροσθεν χρόνον ἰσχυροὶ δοκοῦντες εἶναι, διὰ τὴν συμφορὰν ταύτην ἀσθενέστατοι τῶν περιοικούντων ἐθνῶν ἐγενήθησαν.
Therefore, though they had been thought in former times to be strong, because of this disaster they became the weakest of the neighboring nations.
§14.117.4μετὰ δὲ τὴν μάχην ἀκούσας ὁ αὐτοκράτωρ πορθεῖσθαι Βώλας ὑπὸ Αἰκουλανῶν, τῶν νῦν Αἰκίκλων καλουμένων, ἀγαγὼν τὴν δύναμιν τοὺς πλείστους τῶν πολιορκούντων ἀνεῖλεν.
After the battle, the dictator, having heard that Bolae was being plundered by the Aequiculani, who are now called Aequicoli, led his force there and slew most of the besiegers.
ἐκεῖθεν δʼ ἀνέζευξεν εἰς Σουτριανήν, οὖσαν ἀποικίαν, ἣν οἱ Τυρρηνοὶ βίᾳ κατειλήφεισαν.
From there he marched to Sutrium, which was a colony that the Tyrrhenians had seized by force.
προσπεσὼν οὖν ἄφνω τοῖς Τυρρηνοῖς πολλοὺς μὲν αὐτῶν ἀνεῖλε, τὴν δὲ πόλιν ἀνέσωσε τοῖς Σουτριαίοις.
Falling suddenly upon the Tyrrhenians, he slew many of them and saved the city for the Sutrians.
§14.117.5τῶν δʼ ἀπεληλυθότων Γαλατῶν ἀπὸ Ῥώμης Οὐεάσκιον τὴν πόλιν σύμμαχον οὖσαν Ῥωμαίων πορθούντων, ἐπιθέμενος αὐτοῖς ὁ αὐτοκράτωρ καὶ τοὺς πλείστους ἀποκτείνας τῆς ἀποσκευῆς πάσης ἐκυρίευσεν, ἐν ᾗ καὶ τὸ χρυσίον ἦν ὃ εἰλήφεισαν εἰς Ῥώμην καὶ σχεδὸν ἅπαντα τὰ διηρπασμένα κατὰ τὴν τῆς πόλεως ἅλωσιν.
And when the Galatians who had departed from Rome were plundering the city of Veascium, which was an ally of the Romans, the dictator attacked them, and having killed most of them, he made himself master of all their baggage, in which was also the gold which they had received in Rome, and almost all the things that had been plundered at the capture of the city.
§14.117.6τοσαῦτα δὲ διαπραξάμενος διὰ τὸν φθόνον τῶν δημάρχων ἐκωλύθη θρίαμβον καταγαγεῖν.
But though he had performed such great deeds, because of the jealousy of the tribunes of the plebs he was prevented from celebrating a triumph.
ἔνιοι δέ φασιν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ Τούσκων θρίαμβον ἀγαγεῖν ἐπὶ λευκοῦ τεθρίππου, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο δυσὶν ὕστερον ἔτεσιν ὑπὸ τοῦ δήμου πολλοῖς χρήμασι καταδικασθῆναι· περὶ οὗ κατὰ τοὺς οἰκείους χρόνους ἐπιμνησθησόμεθα.
Some, however, say that he did celebrate a triumph over the Etruscans on a chariot drawn by four white horses, and that for this reason he was fined a large sum of money by the people two years later; concerning which we shall make mention at the proper times.
§14.117.7οἱ δʼ εἰς τὴν Ἰαπυγίαν τῶν Κελτῶν ἐληλυθότες ἀνέστρεψαν διὰ τῆς τῶν Ῥωμαίων χώρας· καὶ μετʼ ὀλίγον ὑπὸ Κερίων ἐπιβουλευθέντες νυκτὸς ἅπαντες κατεκόπησαν ἐν τῷ Τραυσίῳ πεδίῳ.
And those of the Celts who had gone to Iapygia returned through the territory of the Romans; and shortly after, being plotted against by the Caerians by night, they were all cut to pieces in the Trausian plain.
§14.117.8Καλλισθένης δʼ ὁ ἱστοριογράφος ἀπὸ τῆς κατὰ τοῦτον τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν γενομένης εἰρήνης τοῖς Ἕλλησι πρὸς Ἀρταξέρξην τὸν τῶν Περσῶν βασιλέα τὴν ἱστορίαν ἦρκται γράφειν· διελθὼν δὲ τριακονταετῆ χρόνον ἔγραψε μὲν βύβλους δέκα, τὴν δὲ τελευταίαν κατέπαυσε τῆς συντάξεως εἰς τὴν ὑπὸ τοῦ Φιλομήλου τοῦ Φωκέως κατάληψιν τοῦ ἐν Δελφοῖς ἱεροῦ.
And Callisthenes the historian has begun writing his history from the peace made in this year for the Greeks with Artaxerxes, the king of the Persians; and covering a period of thirty years, he wrote ten books, and ended his last book of the compilation with the seizure of the temple at Delphi by Philomelus the Phocian.
§14.117.9ἡμεῖς δʼ ἐπεὶ πάρεσμεν ἐπὶ τὴν γενομένην τοῖς Ἕλλησιν εἰρήνην πρὸς Ἀρταξέρξην καὶ τὸν τῆς Ῥώμης ὑπὸ Γαλατῶν κίνδυνον, κατὰ τὴν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρόθεσιν τοῦτο τέλος ποιησόμεθα τῆσδε τῆς βύβλου.
But since we have arrived at the peace made for the Greeks with Artaxerxes and the danger of Rome from the Galatians, we shall, according to our plan at the beginning, make this the end of this book.
