29. [M. Ualerio P. Decio coss.] profligato fere Samnitium bello, priusquam ea cura decederet patribus Romanis, [2] Etrusci belli fama exorta est; nec erat ea tempestate gens alia, cuius secundum Gallicos tumultus arma terribiliora essent cum propinquitate agri tum multitudine hominum. [3] [p. 9052]itaque altero consule in Samnio reliquias belli persequente P. Decius, qui grauiter aeger Romae restiterat, auctore senatu dictatorem C. Iunium Bubulcum dixit. [4] is, prout rei magnitudo postulabat, omnes iuniores sacramento adigit, arma quaeque alia res poscit summa industria parat; nec tantis apparatibus elatus de inferendo bello agitat, quieturus haud dubie, nisi ultro arma Etrusci inferrent. [5] eadem in comparando cohibendoque bello consilia et apud Etruscos fuere; neutri finibus egressi. et censura clara eo anno Ap. Claudi et C. Plauti fuit; [6] memoriae tamen felicioris ad posteros nomen Appi, quod uiam muniuit et aquam in urbem duxit; [7] eaque unus perfecit quia ob infamem atque inuidiosam senatus lectionem uerecundia uictus collega magistratu se abdicauerat, [8] Appius iam inde antiquitus insitam pertinaciam familiae gerendo solus censuram obtinuit. [9] eodem Appio auctore Potitia gens, cuius ad Aram Maximam Herculis familiare sacerdotium fuerat, seruos publicos ministerii delegandi causa sollemnia eius sacri docuerat. [10] [p. 9053]traditur inde, dictu mirabile et quod dimouendis statu suo sacris religionem facere posset, cum duodecim familiae ea tempestate Potitiorum essent, puberes ad triginta, omnes intra annum cum stirpe exstinctos; [11] nec nomen tantum Potitiorum interisse sed censorem etiam [Appium] memori deum ira post aliquot annos luminibus captum.
