11. Porsinna primo conatu repulsus, consiliis ab oppugnanda urbe ad obsidendam uersis, praesidio in Ianiculo locato, ipse in plano ripisque Tiberis castra posuit, [2] nauibus undique accitis et ad custodiam ne quid Romam frumenti subuehi sineret, et ut praedatum milites trans flumen per occasiones aliis atque aliis locis traiceret; [3] breuique adeo infestum omnem Romanum agrum reddidit ut non cetera solum ex agris sed pecus quoque omne in urbem compelleretur, neque quisquam extra portas propellere auderet. [4] [p. 2016]hoc tantum licentiae Etruscis non metu magis quam consilio concessum. namque Ualerius consul intentus in occasionem multos simul et effusos improuiso adoriundi, in paruis rebus neglegens ultor, grauem se ad maiora uindicem seruabat. [5] itaque ut eliceret praedatores, edicit suis postero die frequentes porta Esquilina, quae auersissima ab hoste erat, expellerent pecus, scituros id hostes ratus, quod in obsidione et fame seruitia infida transfugerent. [6] et sciere perfugae indicio; multoque plures, ut in spem uniuersae praedae, flumen traiciunt. [7] P. Ualerius inde T. Herminium cum modicis copiis ad secundum lapidem Gabina uia occultum considere iubet, Sp. Larcium cum expedita iuuentute ad portam Collinam stare donec hostis praetereat; inde se obicere ne sit ad flumen reditus. [8] consulum alter T. Lucretius porta Naeuia cum aliquot manipulis militum egressus; ipse Ualerius Caelio monte cohortes delectas educit, hique primi apparuere hosti. [9] Herminius ubi tumultum sensit, concurrit ex insidiis, uersisque in Lucretium Etruscis terga caedit; dextra laeuaque, hinc a porta Collina, illinc ab Naeuia, redditus clamor; [10] ita caesi in medio praedatores, neque ad pugnam uiribus pares et ad fugam saeptis omnibus uiis. finisque ille tam effuse euagandi Etruscis fuit.
