At Veii the camp which had been lost was recovered and strengthened with forts and a garrison.
Here M.AEmilius and Kaeso Fabius, military tribunes, commanded. None of the enemy were found outside the walls by Marcus Furius in the Falisean territory, and Cneius Cornelius in the Capenatian district: spoil was driven off, and the country laid waste by burning of the houses and the fruits of the earth: the towns were neither assaulted nor besieged.
But among the Volscians, their territory being depopulated, Anxur, which was situate on an eminence, was assaulted, but to no purpose; and when force was ineffectual, they commenced to surround it with a rampart and a trench.
The province of the Volscians had fallen [to the lot of] Valerius Potitus.
In this state of military affairs an intestine disturbance broke out with greater violence than the wars were proceeded with.
