Atilium autem, qui ad eum arcessendum a senatu missi erant ad imperium populi Romani suscipiendum, semen spargentem uiderunt. sed illae rustico opere adtritae manus salutem publicam stabilierunt, ingentes hostium copias pessum dederunt, quaeque modo arantium boum iugum rexerant, triumphalis currus habenas retinuerunt, nec fuit his rubori eburneo scipione deposito agrestem stiuam aratri repetere. potest pauperes consolari Atilius, sed multo magis docere locupletes quam non sit necessaria solidae laudis cupidini anxia diuitiarum conparatio.
