Original Text :	Inde vertit militem avidum pugnae et preda urbis ditatum in Laras. Illi autem urbis prefecto auctore acriter resistentes lapides lapidibus, tela telis obicere non cessabant, aggravatique bello super consulto ducis indutias deposcunt. Quibus concessis ducis eis presidium negatur. Unde urbe egressi potestati se regiae tradiderunt.
