Thus both matters were spun out till the arrival of the consuls.

When they entered the city in triumph with their victorious army, because silence was (observed) with regard to the law, many thought that the tribunes were struck with dismay.

But they, (for it was now the close of the year,) desirous of obtaining a fourth tribuneship, had turned away their efforts from the law to canvassing for the elections; and when the consuls strove with no less strenuousness than if the law in question were proposed for the purpose of lessening their own dignity, the victory in the contest was on the side of the tribunes.

On the same year peace was granted to the AEqui on their suing for it.

The census, a matter commenced on the preceding year, is completed.
