Item, cum bello acri et diutino Veientes a Romanis intra moenia compulsi capi non possent, eaque mora non minus obsidentibus quam obsessis intolerabilis videretur, exoptatae victoriae iter miro prodigio di immortales patefecerunt: subito enim Albanus lacus, neque caelestibus auctus imbribus neque inundatione ullius amnis adiutus, solitum stagni modum excessit.
Likewise when the men of Veii had been forced inside their town by the Romans in a fierce and protracted war but could not be taken, and the delay seemed intolerable no less to the besiegers than to the besieged, the immortal gods opened a path to longed-for victory by a marvellous prodigy. For of a sudden the Alban Lake rose above its normal stagnant level, neither augmented by rains from the sky nor aided by the inundations of any river.
