At Volscorum ducis Tulli execrabile consilium. qui ad bellum inferendum Romanis maxima cupiditate accensus, cum aliquot aduersis proeliis contusos animos suorum et ob id paci proniores animaduerteret, insidiosa ratione quo uolebat conpulit: nam cum spectandorum ludorum gratia magna Volscorum multitudo Romam conuenisset, consulibus dixit uehementer se timere ne quid hostile subito molirentur monuitque ut essent cautiores et protinus ipse urbe egressus est. quam rem consules ad senatum detulerunt. qui, tametsi nulla suspicio suberat, auctoritate tamen Tulli commotus ut ante noctem Volsci abirent decreuit. qua contumelia inritati facile inpelli potuerunt ad rebellandum. ita mendacium uersuti ducis simulatione beniuolentiae inuolutum duos simul populos fefellit, Romanum, ut insontes notaret, Volscum, ut deceptis irasceretur.
