Proinde parumper lenito pavore, ad arripienda quae urgebant acri nisu adsurgens, retersit obrutas ruderibus fossas, murorumque maximam partem, pacis diuturnitate contemptam et subversam, ad usque celsarum turrium minas expediit, studio aedificandi coalitus: hac ratione opere velociter absolute, quod impensas aedificandi causa theatri, dudum congestas, sufficientis ad id quod efficere maturabat, invenit. Atque huic spectato consilio salutare addidit aliud, et sagittariorum cohortem e statione proxima, adfuturam obsidio (si venisset), accivit.
