§4.15.1διεῖλε δὲ καὶ τὴν χώραν ἅπασαν, ὡς μὲν Φάβιός φησιν, εἰς μοίρας ἕξ τε καὶ εἴκοσιν, ἃς καὶ αὐτὰς καλεῖ φυλὰς καὶ τὰς ἀστικὰς προστιθεὶς αὐταῖς τέτταρας· ὡς δὲ Οὐεννώνιος ἱστόρηκεν, εἰς μίαν τε καὶ τριάκοντα, ὥστε σὺν ταῖς κατὰ πόλιν οὔσαις ἐκπεπληρῶσθαι τὰς ἔτι καὶ εἰς ἡμᾶς ὑπαρχούσας τριάκοντα καὶ πέντε φυλάς·
He also divided all the land, as Fabius says, into twenty-six regions, which he also calls tribes, adding the four urban tribes to them; but as Vennonius records, into thirty-one, so that, together with those in the city, the thirty-five tribes that still exist in our day were completed.
Κάτων μέντοι τούτων ἀμφοτέρων ἀξιοπιστότερος ὢν τριάκοντα φυλὰς ἐπὶ Τυλλίου τὰς πάσας γενέσθαι λέγει καὶ οὐ χωρίζει τῶν μοιρῶν τὸν ἀριθμόν.
Cato, however, who is more reliable than both of these, says that there were thirty tribes in all under Tullius, and does not separate the number of the regions.
§4.15.2διελὼν δʼ οὖν ὁ Τύλλιος εἰς ὁπόσας δήποτε μοίρας τὴν γῆν κατὰ τοὺς ὀρεινοὺς καὶ πολὺ τὸ ἀσφαλὲς τοῖς γεωργοῖς παρέχειν δυνησομένοῦς ὄχθους κρησφύγετα κατεσκεύασεν, Ἑλληνικοῖς ὀνόμασιν αὐτὰ καλῶν Πάγους, ἔνθα συνέφευγον ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν ἅπαντες, ὁπότε γένοιτο πολεμίων ἔφοδος, καὶ τὰ πολλὰ §4.15.3διενυκτέρευον ἐνταῦθα.
Tullius, then, having divided the land into however many regions, constructed places of refuge along the hills that were mountainous and capable of offering much security to the farmers, calling them 'Pagi' by Greek names, where all fled from the fields whenever there was an incursion of enemies, and for the most part spent the night there.
ἄρχοντες δὲ καὶ τούτων ἦσαν, οἷς ἐπιμελὲς ἐγίνετο τά τʼ ὀνόματα τῶν γεωργῶν εἰδέναι τῶν συντελούντων εἰς τὸν αὐτὸν πάγον, καὶ τὰς κτήσεις, ἐν αἷς ὁ βίος αὐτῶν ἦν· καὶ ὁπότε χρεία γένοιτο ἐπὶ τὰ ὅπλα τοὺς χωρίτας καλεῖν ἢ χρημάτων εἰσφορὰς κατʼ ἄνδρα ἐκλέγειν, οὗτοι τά τε σώματα συνῆγον καὶ τὰ χρήματα εἰσέπραττον.
And there were leaders of these too, whose care it was to know both the names of the farmers who contributed to the same pagus and the possessions in which their livelihood consisted; and whenever there was a need to call the country people to arms or to collect taxes on a per-capita basis, these men gathered the persons and collected the money.
ἵνα δὲ καὶ τούτων ἡ πληθὺς μὴ δυσεύρετος, ἀλλʼ εὐλόγιστος ᾖ καὶ φανερά, βωμοὺς ἐκέλευσεν αὐτοῖς ἱδρύσασθαι θεῶν ἐπισκόπων τε καὶ φυλάκων τοῦ πάγου, οὓς ἔταξε θυσίαις κοιναῖς γεραίρειν καθʼ ἕκαστον ἐνιαυτὸν ἅμα συνερχομένους, ἑορτήν τινα καὶ ταύτην ἐν τοῖς πάνυ τιμίαν καταστησάμενος, τὰ καλούμενα Παγανάλια· καὶ νόμους ὑπὲρ τῶν ἱερῶν τούτων, οὓς ἔτι διὰ φυλακῆς ἔχουσι Ῥωμαῖοι, συνέγραψεν.
And in order that the multitude of these people might not be hard to find, but easily calculated and clear, he ordered them to erect altars to the gods who were overseers and guardians of the pagus, whom he ordered to honor with common sacrifices every year, assembling together, having established this too as a highly honored festival, the so-called Paganalia; and he wrote laws concerning these sacred rites, which the Romans still keep under guard.
§4.15.4εἰς δὲ τὴν θυσίαν ταύτην καὶ τὴν σύνοδον ἅπαντας ἐκέλευσε τοὺς ὁμοπάγους κατὰ κεφαλὴν ὡρισμένον νόμισμά τι συνεισφέρειν, ἕτερον μέν τι τοὺς ἄνδρας, ἕτερον δέ τι τὰς γυναῖκας, ἄλλο δέ τι τοὺς ἀνήβους.
And for this sacrifice and assembly, he ordered all the fellow-paganers to contribute a certain fixed coin per head, one amount for the men, another for the women, and another for the minors.
ἐξ οὗ συναριθμηθέντος ὑπὸ τῶν ἐφεστηκότων τοῖς ἱεροῖς φανερὸς ὁ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀριθμὸς ἐγίνετο κατὰ γένη τε καὶ καθʼ ἡλίκίας.
From this, when it was counted up by those in charge of the sacred rites, the number of people became clear, both by gender and by age.
§4.15.5ὡς δὲ Πείσων Λεύκιος ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ τῶν ἐνιαυσίων ἀναγραφῶν ἱστορεῖ, βουλόμενος καὶ τῶν ἐν ἄστει διατριβόντων τὸ πλῆθος εἰδέναι, τῶν τε γεννωμένων καὶ τῶν ἀπογινομένων καὶ τῶν εἰς ἄνδρας ἐγγραφομένων, ἔταξεν ὅσον ἔδει νόμισμα καταφέρειν ὑπὲρ ἑκάστου τοὺς προσήκοντας, εἰς μὲν τὸν τῆς Εἰλειθυίας θησαυρόν, ἣν Ῥωμαῖοι καλοῦσιν Ἥραν φωσφόρον, ὑπὲρ τῶν γεννωμένων· εἰς δὲ τὸν τῆς Ἀφροδίτης τῆς ἐν ἄλσει καθιδρυμένης, ἣν προσαγορεύουσι Λιβιτίνην, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀπογινομένων· εἰς δὲ τὸν τῆς Νεότητος, ὑπὲρ τῶν εἰς ἄνδρας ἀρχομένων συντελεῖν· ἐξ ὧν ἤμελλε διαγνώσεσθαι καθʼ ἕκαστον ἐνιαυτόν, ὅσοι τε οἱ σύμπαντες ἦσαν καὶ τίνες ἐξ αὐτῶν τὴν στρατεύσιμον ἡλικίαν εἶχον.
And as Lucius Piso records in the first book of his Annals, wishing to know also the number of those residing in the city, both of those being born and of those dying and of those being registered among the men, he ordered how much coin the relatives should pay for each person: for those being born, into the treasury of Eileithyia, whom the Romans call Hera Phosphoros; for those dying, into the treasury of Aphrodite established in the grove, whom they call Libitina; and for those beginning to be registered among the men, into the treasury of Youth; from which it would be discerned every year how many they all were and who among them had the age for military service.
§4.15.6ταῦτα καταστησάμενος ἐκέλευσεν ἅπαντας Ῥωμαίους ἀπογράφεσθαί τε καὶ τιμᾶσθαι τὰς οὐσίας πρὸς ἀργύριον ὀμόσαντας τὸν νόμιμον ὅρκον, ἦ μὲν τἀληθῆ καὶ ἀπὸ παντὸς τοῦ βελτίστου τετιμῆσθαι, πατέρων τε ὧν εἰσι γράφοντας καὶ ἡλικίαν ἣν ἔχουσι δηλοῦντας γυναῖκάς τε καὶ παῖδας ὀνομάζοντας καὶ ἐν τίνι κατοικοῦσιν ἕκαστοι τῆς πόλεως φυλῇ ἢ πάγῳ τῆς χώρας προστιθέντας· τῷ δὲ μὴ τιμησαμένῳ τιμωρίαν ὥρισε τῆς τʼ οὐσίας στέρεσθαι καὶ αὐτὸν μαστιγωθέντα πραθῆναι· καὶ μέχρι πολλοῦ διέμεινε παρὰ Ῥωμαίοις οὗτος ὁ νόμος.
Having established these things, he ordered all Romans to register themselves and to have their property valued in money, having sworn the lawful oath that they had valued it truly and to the best of their judgment, writing down whose fathers they were, showing what age they had, naming their wives and children, and adding in which tribe of the city or in which pagus of the country each lived; and for the one who did not have his property valued, he ordained the punishment of being deprived of his property and being himself scourged and sold; and for a long time this law remained among the Romans.
