Caecina, comperto vanam esse formidinem, cum tamen neque auctoritate neque precibus, ne manu quidem obsistere aut retinere militem quiret, proiectus in limine portae, miseratione demum, quia per corpus legati eundum erat, clausit viam; simul tribuni et centuriones falsum pavorem esse docuerunt.
Caecina, who had satisfied himself that the fear was groundless, but found command, entreaty, and even physical force, alike powerless to arrest or detain the men, threw himself flat in the gateway; and pity in the last resort barred a road which led over the generals body. At the same time, the tribunes and centurions explained that it was a false alarm.
