In the middle of his discourse, (I suppose that it was the wish of the gods that the state of Antium should last a longer time,) ambassadors came from Nepete and Sutrium, soliciting aid against the Etrurians, urging that the time for giving them aid would soon pass by.
Thither did fortune avert the force of Camillus from Antium; for as those places were situate opposite Etruria, and were barriers or gates as it were on that side, both they had a wish to get possession of them, whenever they meditated any new enterprise, and the Romans to recover and secure them.

Wherefore the senate resolved to treat with Camillus, that he would relinquish Antium and undertake the Etrurian war.

The city troops, which Quinctius had commanded, are decreed to him.

Though he would have preferred the army which was in the Volscian territory, as being tried and accustomed to him, he made no objection: he only demanded Valerius as his associate in command.

Quinctius and Horatius were sent against the Volscians, as successors to Valerius.
