Quod civitatis magistratus ferens indigne (succensebat enim eisdem ob rem suam in suburbano vastatam) imam plebem omnem cum Fabricensibus, quorum illic ampla est multitudo, productam, in eorum armavit exitium, iussisque bellicum canere bucinis, ni abirent ocius (ut statutum est) pericula omnibus minabatur extrema.
At this the chief magistrate of the city was vexed'for he was incensed at them besides, because of the pillaging of his own property in his suburban villa; so he brought out and armed for their destruction all the lowest of the populace, along with the Armourers, of whom there is a large force there, and ordering the horns to sound the alarm, threatened them all with the utmost punishment, if they did not leave at once, as had been ordered.
