Alii postulare illum ut omnes exercitus dimittantur: scilicet legatos ad eum misimus, non ut pareret et dicto audiens esset huic ordini, sed ut condiciones ferret, leges imponeret, reserare nos exteris gentibus Italiam iuberet, se praesertim incolumi a quo maius periculum quam ab ullis nationibus extimescendum est.
Some say he is demanding that all armies be dismissed: I suppose we sent envoys to him, not for him to obey and bow to the will of this body, but to have him state terms, impose conditions, order us to open Italy to foreign peoples, while he himself, from whom there is worse to fear than from any tribes, keeps his position intact.
