Illud quoque maioribus et consilio prudenter et exitu feliciter prouisum: cum enim urbe capta Galli Capitolium obsiderent solamque potiendi eius spem in fame eorum repositam animaduerterent, perquam callido genere consilii Romani usi unico perseuerantiae inritamento uictores spoliauerunt: panes enim iacere conpluribus e locis coeperunt. quo spectaculo obstupefactos infinitamque frumenti abundantiam nostris superesse credentes ad pactionem omittendae obsidionis conpulerunt. misertus est tunc profecto Iuppiter Romanae uirtutis, praesidium ab astutia mutuantis, cum summa alimentorum inopia proici praesidia inopiae cerneret. igitur ut uafro, ita periculoso consilio salutarem exitum dedit.
