Dum ea Romae geruntur, Catilina ex omni copia quam et ipse adduxerat et Manlius habuerat duas legiones instituit, cohortis pro numero militum conplet; deinde, ut quisque voluntarius aut ex sociis in castra venerat, aequaliter distribuerat, ac brevi spatio legiones numero hominum expleverat, quom initio non amplius duobus milibus habuisset.
While this was taking place in Rome, Catiline formed two legions out of the whole force which he had brought with him and Manlius already had; he filled up the cohorts in proportion to the number of soldiers on hand; then whenever a volunteer or any of his confederates came to the camp, he distributed them equally, and within a brief span he had filled up the legions with a full complement of men, although in the beginning he had had no more than two thousand soldiers.
