31. summotis deinde legatis cum consultus senatus esset, etsi magnae parti urbs maxima opulentissimaque Italiae, uberrimus ager marique [p. 464] propinquus ad varietates annonae horreum populi Romani1 fore videbatur, tamen tanta utilitate fides antiquior fuit, responditque ita ex auctoritate senatus consul. [2] “auxilio vos, Campani, dignos censet senatus; sed ita vobiscum amicitiam institui par est, ne qua vetustior amicitia ac societas violetur. Samnites nobiscum foedere iuncti sunt; itaque arma, deos prius quam homines violatura, adversus Samnites vobis negamus; legatos, sicut fas iusque est, ad socios atque amicos precatum mittemus, ne qua vobis vis fiat.” [3] ad ea princeps legationissic enim domo mandatum attulerant—“quando quideminquit, “nostra tueri adversus vim atque iniuriam iusta vi non voltis, [4] vestra certe defendetis; itaque populum Campanum urbemque Capuam, agros, delubra deum, divina humanaque omnia in vestram, patres conscripti, populique Romani dicionem dedimus, quidquid deinde patiemur, dediticii vestri passuri.”

[5] sub haec dicta omnes,manus ad consules tendentes, pleni lacrimarum in vestibulo curiae procubuerunt. [6] commoti patres vice fortunarum humanarum, si ille praepotens opibus populus, luxuria superbiaque clarus, a quo paulo ante auxilium finitimi [p. 466] petissent adeo infractos gereret animos ut se ipse2 suaque omnia potestatis alienae faceret. [7] tum iam fides agi visa deditos non prodi; nec facturum aequa Samnitium populum censebant, si agrum urbemque per deditionem factam populi Romani oppugnarent. [8] legatos itaque extemplo mitti ad Samnites placuit. data mandata ut preces Campanorum, responsum senatus amicitiae Samnitium memor, deditionem postremo factam Samnitibus exponerent; [9] peterent pro societate amicitiaque, ut dediticiis suis parcerent neque in eum agrum qui populi Romani factus esset hostilia arma inferrent; [10] si leniter agendo parum proficerent, denuntiarent Samnitibus, populi Romani senatusque verbis, ut Capua urbe Campanoque agro abstinerent. [11] haec legatis agentibus in concilio Samnitium adeo est ferociter responsum ut non solum gesturos se esse dicerent id bellum, sed magistratus eorum e curia egressi stantibus3 legatis praefectos cohortium vocarent iisque clara voce [12?] imperarent ut praedatum in agrum Campanum extemplo proficiscerentur.
