cui venienti seniores tantum obviam exisse constat, iuventutem et tunc et omni vita deinde aversatam eum exsecratamque.

The consul Manlius, because he himself had been unable to carry out that war on account of ill health, named L. Papirius Crassum, who then happened to be praetor, as dictator; by him L. Papirius Cursor was named master of the horse.
§8.12.3nihil memorabile adversus Antiates ab dictatore gestum est, cum aliquot menses stativa in agro Antiati habuisset.

Aemilius Mamercinus Q. Publilius Philo, neque in similem materiam rerum, §8.12.5et ipsi aut suarum rerum aut partium in re publica magis quam patriae memores.
Aemilius Mamercinus and Q. Publilius Philo, who did not find a similar material for affairs, and they themselves were more mindful of either their own affairs or of their factions in the republic than of their country.

§8.12.6ibi Publilio, cuius ductu auspicioque res gestae erant, in deditionem accipiente Latinos populos, quorum ibi iuventus caesa erat, Aemilius ad Pedum exercitus duxit.

§8.12.8ubi cum proeliis quidem superior Romanus esset, ad urbem ipsam Pedum castraque sociorum populorum, quae urbi adiuncta erant, integer labor restaret, §8.12.9bello infecto repente omisso consul, quia collegae decretum triumphum audivit, ipse quoque triumphi ante victoriam flagitator Romam rediit.
When, though the Roman was indeed superior in skirmishes, the whole labor still remained against the city of Pedum itself and the camp of the allied peoples, which had been joined to the city, the consul, suddenly abandoning the war unfinished because he heard that a triumph had been decreed to his colleague, returned to Rome, himself also a demanding solicitor of a triumph before victory.
§8.12.10qua cupiditate offensis patribus negantibusque nisi Pedo capto aut dedito triumphum, hinc alienatus ab senatu Aemilius seditiosis tribunatibus similem deinde consulatum gessit.

§8.12.11nam neque, quoad fuit consul, criminari apud populum patres destitit collega haudquaquam adversante, quia et ipse de plebe erat — §8.12.12materiam autem praebebat criminibus ager in Latino Falernoque agro maligne plebei divisus —, et postquam senatus, finire imperium consulibus cupiens, dictatorem adversus rebellantes Latinos dici iussit, §8.12.13Aemilius, cuius tum fasces erant, collegam dictatorem dixit; ab eo magister equitum Iunius Brutus dictus.
For neither, as long as he was consul, did he cease to accuse the patricians before the people, with his colleague by no means opposing him, because he too was of the plebs— moreover, the land maliciously divided among the plebeians in the Latin and Falernian territory provided material for the accusations—, and after the senate, wishing to end the command of the consuls, ordered a dictator to be named against the rebelling Latins, Aemilius, who then held the fasces, named his colleague dictator; by him Iunius Brutus was named master of the horse.
dictatura popularis §8.12.14et orationibus in patres criminosis fuit, et quod tres leges secundissimas plebei, adversas nobilitati tulit: §8.12.15unam, ut plebi scita omnes Quirites tenerent, alteram, ut legum, quae comitiis centuriatis ferrentur, ante initum suffragium patres auctores fierent, §8.12.16tertiam, ut alter utique ex plebe, cum eo, ut utrumque plebeium fieri liceret, censor crearetur.
The dictatorship was popular, both in its speeches, which were accusatory against the patricians, and because he carried three laws most favorable to the plebs and opposed to the nobility: one, that the plebiscites should bind all Quirites; the second, that of the laws which were proposed in the centuriate assembly, the patricians should become approvers before the voting began; the third, that at least one of the censors should be chosen from the plebs, with the provision also that it should be lawful for both to be plebeians.
§8.12.17plus eo anno domi acceptum cladis ab consulibus ac dictatore, quam ex victoria eorum bellicisque rebus foris auctum imperium patres credebant.
The patricians believed that more disaster had been received at home that year from the consuls and the dictator than the empire had been increased abroad from their victory and military achievements.
