13. multitudo hostium nulli rei praeterquam numero freta et oculis utramque metiens aciem temere proelium iniit, temere omisit; [2] clamore tantum missilibusque telis et primo pugnae impetu ferox gladios et conlatum pedem et uoltum hostis ardore animi micantem ferre non potuit. [3] impulsa frons prima et trepidatio subsidiis inlata; et suum terrorem intulit eques; rupti inde multis locis ordines motaque omnia et fluctuanti similis acies erat. dein postquam cadentibus primis iam ad se quisque peruenturam caedem cernebat, terga uertunt. [4] [p. 6022]instare Romanus; et donec armati confertique abibant, peditum labor in persequendo fuit: postquam iactari arma passim fugaque per agros spargi aciem hostium animaduersum est, tum equitum turmae emissae, dato signo ne in singulorum morando caede spatium ad euadendum interim multitudini darent: [5] satis esse missilibus ac terrore impediri cursum obequitandoque agmen teneri dum adsequi pedes et iusta caede conficere hostem posset. [6] fugae sequendique non ante noctem finis fuit. capta quoque ac direpta eodem die castra Uolscorum praedaque omnis praeter libera corpora militi concessa est. [7] pars maxima captiuorum ex Latinis atque Hernicis fuit, nec hominum de plebe, ut credi posset mercede militasse, sed principes quidam iuuentutis inuenti, manifesta fides publica ope Uolscos hostes adiutos. [8] Circeiensium quoque quidam cogniti et coloni a Uelitris; Romamque omnes missi percontantibus primoribus patrum eadem quae dictatori defectionem sui quisque populi haud perplexe indicauere.
