§10.21.1ἀποδοὺς δὲ τοῖς Τυσκλάνοις τὴν πόλιν Φάβιος περὶ δείλην ὀψίαν ἀνίστησι τὴν στρατιάν.
Fabius, after restoring the city to the Tusculans, moved his army late in the afternoon.
καὶ ὡς εἶχε τάχους ἤλαυνεν ἐπὶ τοὺς πολεμίους, ἀκούων περὶ πόλιν Ἀλγιδὸν ἀθρόας εἶναι τάς τε Οὐολούσκων καὶ τὰς Αἰκανῶν δυνάμεις.
And he marched with all possible speed against the enemy, hearing that the forces of both the Volscians and the Aequi were assembled near the city of Algidus.
ποιησάμενος δὲ δι’ ὅλης νυκτὸς σύντονον ὁδὸν ὑπʼ αὐτὸν τὸν ὄρθρον ἐπιφαίνεται τοῖς πολεμίοις ἐστρατοπεδευκόσιν ἐν πεδίῳ καὶ οὔτε τάφρον περιβεβλημένοις οὔτε χάρακα, ὡς ἐν οἰκείᾳ τε γῇ καὶ καταφρονήσει τοῦ ἀντιπάλου.
Making a rapid march throughout the whole night, just before dawn he appeared before the enemy, who had encamped on a plain and had neither dug a trench nor thrown up a palisade, as if they were in their own territory and in contempt of their opponent.
§10.21.2παρακελευσάμενος δὲ τοῖς ἀμφʼ αὐτὸν ἀγαθοῖς ἀνδράσι γίνεσθαι πρῶτος εἰσελαύνει μετὰ τῶν ἱππέων εἰς τὴν τῶν πολεμίων παρεμβολήν, καὶ οἱ πεζοὶ συναλαλάξαντες εἵποντο·
Having exhorted his men to show themselves brave, he was the first to charge with the cavalry into the camp of the enemy, and the infantry followed with a shout.
τῶν δʼ οἱ μὲν ἔτι κοιμώμενοι ἐφονεύοντο, οἱ δʼ ἀρτίως ἀνεστηκότες καὶ πρὸς ἀλκὴν ἐπιχειροῦντες τραπέσθαι, οἱ δὲ πλείους φεύγοντες ἐσκεδάννυντο.
Of the enemy, some were slain while still asleep, others had just risen and were attempting to turn to resistance, but the majority fled and were scattered.
§10.21.3ἁλόντος δὲ τοῦ στρατοπέδου κατὰ πολλὴν εὐπέτειαν ἐπιτρέψας τοῖς στρατιώταις τὰ χρήματα ὠφελεῖσθαι καὶ τὰ σώματα πλὴν ὅσα Τυσκλάνων ἦν, οὐ πολὺν ἐνταῦθα διατρίψας χρόνον ἐπὶ τὴν Ἐχετράνων πόλιν ἦγε τὴν δύναμιν, ἣ τότε ἦν τοῦ Οὐολούσκων ἔθνους ἐπιφανεστάτη τε κἀν τῷ κρατίστῳ μάλιστα τόπῳ κειμένη.
The camp having been captured with great ease, he permitted the soldiers to plunder the property and take as booty the captives, except for those belonging to the Tusculans. After spending not much time there, he led his force against the city of the Echetrans, which was then the most illustrious of the Volscian nation and situated in an extremely strong position.
§10.21.4στρατοπεδεύσας δὲ πλησίον τῆς πόλεως ἐπὶ πολλὰς ἡμέρας κατʼ ἐλπίδα τοῦ προελεύσεσθαι τοὺς ἔνδον εἰς μάχην, ὡς οὐδεμία ἐξῄει στρατιά, τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἐδῄου ἀνθρώπων μεστὴν οὖσαν καὶ βοσκημάτων.
Encamping near the city for many days in the hope that those within would come out to battle, when no army emerged, he laid waste their land, which was full of people and cattle.
οὐ γὰρ ἔφθασαν ἀνασκευασάμενοι τὰ ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν αἰφνιδίου γενηθείσης αὐτοῖς τῆς ἐφόδου.
For they had had no time to remove their goods from the fields, the inroad having come upon them unexpectedly.
ἐφεὶς δὲ καὶ ταῦτα τοῖς στρατιώταις διαρπάζειν ὁ Φάβιος καὶ πολλὰς ἐν τῇ προνομῇ διατρίψας ἡμέρας ἀπῆγεν ἐπʼ οἴκου τὴν δύναμιν.
Permitting his soldiers to plunder these things as well, Fabius, after spending many days in foraging, led his army home.
§10.21.5ὁ δʼ ἕτερος τῶν ὑπάτων Κορνήλιος ἐπὶ τοὺς ἐν Ἀντίῳ Ῥωμαίους τε καὶ Οὐολούσκους ἐλαύνων ἐπιτυγχάνει στρατιᾷ πρὸ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτὸν ὑποδεχομένῃ.
The other consul, Cornelius, marching against the Romans and Volscians in Antium, encountered an army awaiting him before their borders.
παραταξάμενος δὲ αὐτοῖς καὶ πολλοὺς μὲν φονεύσας, τοὺς δὲ λοιποὺς τρεψάμενος ἀγχοῦ τῆς πόλεως κατεστρατοπέδευσεν.
Drawing up his forces against them, he slew many, put the rest to flight, and encamped close to the city.
οὐ τολμώντων δὲ τῶν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως οὐκέτι χωρεῖν εἰς μάχην πρῶτον μὲν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν ἔκειρεν, ἔπειτα τὴν πόλιν ἀπετάφρευε καὶ περιεχαράκου.
Since those from the city no longer dared to come out to battle, he first laid waste their land, and then began to surround the city with a trench and a palisade.
τότε δὴ πάλιν ἀναγκασθέντες ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως πανστρατιᾷ, πολὺς καὶ ἀσύντακτος ὄχλος, καὶ συμβαλόντες εἰς μάχην ἔτι κάκιον ἀγωνισάμενοι κατακλείονται τὸ δεύτερον εἰς τὴν πόλιν, αἰσχρῶς καὶ ἀνάνδρως φεύγοντες.
It was then indeed that, forced once more, they came out of the city in full force, a large and disorganized multitude; and joining battle, they fought even worse than before and were shut up in the city a second time, fleeing shamefully and like cowards.
§10.21.6ὁ δʼ ὕπατος οὐδεμίαν αὐτοῖς ἀναστροφὴν ἔτι δοὺς κλίμακας προσέφερε τοῖς τείχεσι καὶ κριοῖς ἐξέκοπτε τὰς πύλας.
The consul, giving them no further respite, brought up ladders to the walls and battered down the gates with battering rams.
ἐπιπόνως δὲ καὶ ταλαιπώρως τῶν ἔνδον ἀπομαχομένων οὐ πολλὰ πραγματευθεὶς κατὰ κράτος αἱρεῖ τὴν πόλιν.
Though those within fought back with toil and difficulty, he captured the city by storm with no great trouble.
χρήματα μὲν οὖν αὐτῶν, ὅσα χρυσὸς καὶ ἄργυρος καὶ χαλκὸς ἐνῆν, εἰς τὸ δημόσιον ἐκέλευσεν ἀναφέρειν, ἀνδράποδα δὲ τοὺς ταμίας παραλαμβάνοντας καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ λάφυρα πωλεῖν· τοῖς δὲ στρατιώταις ἐσθῆτα καὶ τροφὰς καὶ ὅσʼ ἄλλα τοιαῦτα ἐδύναντο ὠφελεῖσθαι ἐπέτρεψεν.
He then ordered whatever of their property consisted of gold, silver, and bronze to be brought into the public treasury, and commanded the quaestors to take charge of the captives and the rest of the booty and sell them; but he permitted the soldiers to take clothing, provisions, and whatever other such things they could benefit from.
§10.21.7ἔπειτα διακρίνας τῶν τε κληρούχων καὶ τῶν ἀρχαίων Ἀντιατῶν τοὺς ἐπιφανεστάτους τε καὶ τῆς ἀποστάσεως αἰτίους — ἦσαν δὲ πολλοί — ῥάβδοις τε ᾐκίσατο μέχρι πολλοῦ καὶ τοὺς αὐχένας αὐτῶν ἐκέλευσεν ἀποτεμεῖν.
Then, having selected the most prominent of both the colonists and the ancient Antiates who were responsible for the revolt—and they were many—he scourged them with rods for a long time and ordered them to be beheaded.
ταῦτα διαπραξάμενος ἀπῆγε καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπʼ οἴκου τὴν δύναμιν.
Having accomplished these things, he too led his army home.
§10.21.8τούτοις ἡ βουλὴ τοῖς ὑπάτοις προσιοῦσί τε ἀπήντησε καὶ θριάμβους ἀμφοτέροις καταγαγεῖν ἐψηφίσατο·
The senate met these consuls as they approached and voted that both of them should celebrate triumphs.
καὶ πρὸς Αἰκανοὺς πρεσβευσαμένους ὑπὲρ εἰρήνης ἐποιήσατο συνθήκας περὶ καταλύσεως τοῦ πολέμου, ἐν αἷς ἐγράφη, πόλεις τε καὶ χώρας ἔχοντας Αἰκανούς, ὧν ἐκράτουν, ὅτε αἱ σπονδαὶ ἐγίνοντο, Ῥωμαίοις εἶναι ὑπηκόους, ἄλλο μὲν ὑποτελοῦντας μηθέν, ἐν δὲ τοῖς πολέμοις συμμαχίαν ἀποστέλλοντας ὁσηνδήποτε, ὥσπερ καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι σύμμαχοι.
And with the Aequi, who sent ambassadors to sue for peace, they made a treaty for the termination of the war, in which it was written that the Aequi, while keeping the cities and territories they possessed when the treaty was made, should be subject to the Romans, paying no other tribute, but sending whatever allied force they were called upon to provide in times of war, just like the other allies.
καὶ τὸ ἔτος τοῦτο ἐτελεύτα.
And this year ended.
