Papirius dictator, cum adversus imperium eius Q. Fabius Rullianus magister equitum exercitum in aciem eduxisset, quamquam fusis Samnitibus in castra redierat, tamen neque virtute eius neque successu neque nobilitate motus virgas expediri eumque nudari iussit.
Dictator Papirius ordered rods made ready and Master of Horse Q. Fabius Rullianus stripped naked because he had led out the army against his, the Dictators, orders. Although he had routed the Samnites and returned to camp, neither his valour nor his success nor his noble birth swayed the Dictator.
