BOOK III
8/177

Few of the enemy escaped from the ambuscade; all the booty was recovered; thus the return of the consul Quintius to the city put a termination to the justitium, which lasted only four days.

A census was then held, and the lustrum was closed by Quintius: the number of citizens rated are said to have been one hundred and twenty-four thousand two hundred and fourteen, besides orphans of both sexes.

Nothing memorable occurred afterwards among the AEquans; they betook themselves into their towns, suffering their possessions to be consumed by fire and to be devastated.

The consul, after he had repeatedly carried depredation through the entire country of the enemy, returned to Rome with great glory and booty.

Furii some writers have written Fusii; this I mention, lest any one may imagine that the change, which is only in the names, may be in the persons themselves.
