§Vb"ὁ δὲ Μάρκιος ἀντιλέγειν μὲν πρὸς οὐδὲ ἓν αὐτῶν ἐδικαίου. "
But Marcius did not think it right to reply to any single one of these points.
§VI"ἐλεεινοὶ τοῦ πάθους, ἀξιέπαινοι τῆς ἀρετῆς γενόμενοι.
They became objects of pity for their suffering, and of praise for their virtue.
μέγα γὰρ τοῦτο Ῥωμαίοις πάθος ἐγένετο καὶ πλήθους ἕνεκα καὶ ἀξιώματος εὐγενοῦς οἴκου καὶ πανωλεθρίας. καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν ἀποφράδα τίθενται. "
For this became a great disaster for the Romans, both because of the number of the fallen, and because of the dignity of a noble house, and because of their utter destruction; and they mark that day as unlucky.
§VII"τῷ δὲ στρατηγῷ στρατὸς ἦν δυσπειθὴς ὑπὸ μνησικακίας, ἐθελοκάκως τε ἠγωνίζοντο, καὶ ἔφευγον ἐπιδησάμενοι τὰ σώματα ὡς τετρωμένοι, καὶ τὰς σκηνὰς διέλυον, καὶ ἀναχωρεῖν ἐπεχείρουν, ἀπειρίαν ἐπικαλοῦντες τῷ στρατηγῷ. "
And the army was disobedient to the general because of resentment, and they fought with deliberate neglect, and they fled after binding up their bodies as if wounded, and they dismantled their tents and attempted to retreat, alleging the inexperience of the general.
§VIII"ὅτι σημειων γενομενων ἐκ Διὸς ἀηδῶν μετὰ τὴν Οὐηιεντίας ἅλωσιν, οἱ μάντεις ἔλεγον ἐκλειφθῆναί τινα πρὸς εὐσέβειαν, καὶ ὁ Κάμιλλος ἀνήνεγκεν ὅτι τὴν δεκάτην τῆς λείας ἐκλάθοιτο τῷ θεῷ τῷ χρήσαντι περὶ τῆς λίμνης ἐξελέσθαι.
That, when unpleasant signs from Zeus occurred after the capture of Veii, the seers said that some duty towards piety had been neglected, and Camillus reported that he had forgotten to set aside the tenth of the spoil for the god who had given the oracle concerning the lake.
ἡ μὲν οὖν βουλὴ τοὺς λαβόντας ὁτιοῦν ἐκ τῆς Οὐηιέντης ἐκέλευσεν ἀποτιμήσασθαι καθʼ αὑτοὺς καὶ σὺν ὅρκῳ τὸ δέκατον εἰσενεγκεῖν, ὑπὸ δὲ εὐσεβείας οὐκ ὤκνησε καὶ τῆς γῆς ἤδη πεπραμένης, ὡς λαφύρου, τὸ δέκατον ἀναθεῖναι.
The senate therefore ordered those who had taken anything at all from Veii to value it themselves and to bring in the tenth under oath, and out of piety they did not hesitate to dedicate the tenth even of the land which had already been sold, treating it as booty.
κρατήρ τε ἀπὸ τῶνδε τῶν χρημάτων ἐν Δελφοῖς ἔκειτο χρύσεος ἐπὶ χαλκῆς βάσεως ἐν τῷ Ῥωμαίων καὶ Μασσαλιητῶν θησαυρῷ, μέχρι τὸν μὲν χρυσὸν Ὀνόμαρχος ἐν τῷ Φωκικῷ πολέμῳ κατεχώνευσε, κεῖται δʼ ἡ βάσις.
And a golden crater made from this money was placed at Delphi upon a bronze base in the treasury of the Romans and Massaliots, until Onomarchus melted down the gold during the Phocian War, though the base still lies there.
αὐτὸν δὲ Κάμιλλον ἐν τῷ δήμῳ τις ἐδιωκεν ὡς αἴτιον γεγονότα τῇ πόλει φασμάτων καὶ τεράτων χαλεπῶν, καὶ ὁ δῆμος ἐκ πολλοῦ τὸν ἄνδρα ἀποστρεφόμενος ἐζημίωσε πεντήκοντα μυριάσιν, οὐκ ἐπικλασθεὶς οὐδʼ ὅτι πρὸ τῆς δίκης αὐτῷ παῖς ἐτεθνήκει.
As for Camillus himself, someone prosecuted him before the people as having been the cause of terrible apparitions and portents to the city, and the people, having long turned away from the man, fined him fifty万 [five hundred thousand asses], not being moved to pity even by the fact that his son had died before the trial.
τὰ μὲν οὖν χρήματα οἱ φίλοι συνεισήνεγκαν, ἵνα μὴ ὑβρισθείη τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Καμίλλου· αὐτὸς δὲ βαρυθυμῶν ἐς τὴν Ἀρδεατῶν πόλιν μετῴκησεν, εὐξάμενος τὴν Ἀχίλλειον εὐχήν, ἐπιποθῆσαι Ῥωμαίους Κάμιλλον ἐν καιρῷ.
Therefore, his friends contributed the money together, so that the person of Camillus might not be treated with outrage; but he himself, in deep resentment, migrated to the city of the Ardeates, praying the Achillean prayer, that the Romans might long for Camillus in a time of need.
καὶ ἀπήντησεν αὐτῷ καὶ τόδε οὐ πολὺ ὕστερον· Κελτῶν γὰρ τὴν πόλιν καταλαβόντων ὁ δῆμος ἐπὶ Κάμιλλον κατέφυγε καὶ δικτάτορα αὖθις εἵλετο, ὡς ἐν ταῖς Κελτικαῖς πράξεσι συγγέγραπται. "
And this also befell him not long afterwards; for when the Celts captured the city, the people fled to Camillus and chose him dictator once more, as has been written in the Celtic history.
§IX"ὅτι Μάρκος Μάλλιος εὐπατρίδης, Κελτῶν ἐπελθόντων τῇ Ῥώμῃ, ταύτην περιέσωσε καὶ τιμῶν μεγίστων ἠξιώθη.
That Marcus Manlius, a patrician, when the Celts attacked Rome, saved it and was deemed worthy of the greatest honors.
ὕστερον δὲ πρεσβύτην πολλάκις ἐστρατευμένον ἀγόμενον ἐς δουλείαν ὑπὸ τοῦ δανειστοῦ γνωρίσας, ἀπέδωκε τὸ χρέος ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ τῷδε εὐφημούμενος πᾶσιν ἠφίει τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ χρήσταις τὰ ὀφλήματα.
But later, recognizing an old man who had served in many campaigns being led into slavery by his creditor, he paid the debt on his behalf, and being praised for this, he remitted the debts to all his own debtors.
προϊὼν δὲ τῇ δόξῃ καὶ ὑπὲρ ἄλλων ἀπεδίδου.
And advancing in reputation, he went on to pay on behalf of others as well.
καὶ ταῖς δημοκοπίαις ἐπαιρόμενος ἐβούλευσεν ἤδη χρεῶν ἀποκοπὰς κοινάς, ἢ τὸν δῆμον ἠξίου τοῖς δανείσασιν ἀποδοῦναι, τὴν γῆν ἐς τοῦτο ἀποδόμενον ἔτι οὖσαν ἀνέμητον. "
And excited by his demagogy, he now planned a general cancellation of debts, or demanded that the people repay the creditors, by selling the land which was still undivided for this purpose.
